Benefits of eSIM

eSIM means embedded SIM cards. In this, no physical SIM cards are involved & no physical swapping is needed. These SIM should be supported by the networks or carriers & enabled by them and not all networks support.  eSIM iPhone, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 pro & 11 Pro Max & in the pixel phones physical SIM slots are also there & eSIM are used for the second SIM support. eSIM is a small chip inside your phone & it works in the same way to the NFC chip that is used for payment tech like Google pay & Apple Pay. The information on an eSIM is rewritable that means you can change your operator with a single phone call. You can easily add a data plan to connecting devices with eSIMs to a mobile account; you can do this in minutes. GSMA has backed eSIM; it is the association of mobile networks & this has defined the standard for eSIM worldwide. This SIM works exactly like a regular SIM card. These are connected to a specific mobile network with which you want to activate a plan. Both SIMs store the same information. You cannot see the SIM but it has the same functions as the other cards. 

eSIM is a global specification by GSMA that enables remote SIM provisioning of the mobile device. It now allows consumers to store multiple operators' profiles on a device & switch between them remotely but it only one can use at a time. This specification has now extended to a wider range of devices. Manufacturers & operators can now enable consumers to select the operators of their choice & you can securely download the operators’ SIM application to the device. 

Smaller devices can be supported in remote provisioning. In the coming years, new launches are about to come; it has become easy to extend mobile connectivity to devices like smart watches, tablets, fitness bands, portable health systems & other devices. 

This is the only global-backed remote SIM specification for the device of the consumer. This will grow the approach of internet things by allowing manufacturers to build a new range of products for global deployment.

Its consumer benefits include:

• You don’t have to insert or replace a SIM card
• This device can be operated independently with their subscriptions
• This is a range of new & enhanced mobile-connected devices.
