Perhaps you have already come across the term "eSIM" and wondered what an eSIM actually is. A further development of the classic SIM card, the eSIM is a chip permanently installed by the device manufacturer. The term eSIM is short for "embedded subscriber identity module" and describes a standardized procedure from 2015 for authenticating, storing and managing user data for the respective network operator.
Five plausible reasons that speak for an eSIM:
- Easier, more flexible, faster
- It's easier to switch networks.
- Temporarily switch to another network - quite flexibly.
- Use more than one SIM card.
- eSIM also scores points with the environmentally conscious.
