What Is An eSIM?

An eSIM, also known as an Embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a digital version of a normal SIM that offers a completely virtual process of activation of a digital plan from your mobile network provider without the need for the physical SIM. The eSIM eliminates the need for a physical SIM card to be embedded in your phone and ensures that your device can access the plans of your choice of network provider without any hassle. This completely digital and virtual process ensures flexibility and saves time.

What Are The Benefits Of Using An eSIM?

• It saves time by making the SIM switching or porting process from one network provider to another way quicker.
• This is an incredible feature for frequent travellers, as they can now easily switch their SIMs to the local mobile network provider while travelling.
