Everything about ESIM

Programmable SIM card embedded into a device

An eSIM is a form of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device as software installed onto an eUICC chip. In contrast to physical SIM cards, users can connect to and change mobile network operators via the device settings and without the need to physically add or swap a SIM card from the device. A single eSIM plan can connect to several mobile network operators. Devices can hold upwards of 20 eSIM plans simultaneously, with 1 or 2 active. Wikipedia →
