What is an eSIM ? How is it different from a SIM card?

eSIM is an abbreviation for Embedded SIM , and is a chip-type SIM that records information electronically, rather than a physical SIM card. This chip is already built into devices such as smartphones and tablets, and these are becoming widely recognized as eSIM- compatible models.

Benefits of eSIM

Since eSIM is a chip built into the device, there is no need to worry about replacing or losing it. Furthermore, eSIM can have multiple profiles in a device such as a smartphone, and you can set up eSIMs from multiple carriers and easily switch between them when traveling abroad. By setting up both a physical SIM card and an eSIM in a single eSIM -compatible smartphone, you can use different phone numbers and mobile communications.
