eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card that is built into a device and does not require a physical SIM card. It allows users to activate a mobile network plan without inserting a traditional SIM card. You will need a Supported Device to Activate and Use eSim.

Key Features of eSIM:

  • No Physical SIM Required: Eliminates the need for swapping SIM cards.
  • Multiple Profiles: Can store multiple carrier profiles, allowing easy switching between networks.
  • Remote Activation: Can be activated through QR codes or mobile apps without visiting a store.
  • Compact Design: Saves space in devices, making them slimmer and more water-resistant.
