eSim is not only about travel. Wondering why?
When you now hear about the eSIM card, you probably don’t confuse it with a regular SIM card in your smartphone. Or you may still wonder what this story is about and have no idea that your latest model of iPhone or Samsung smartphone supports eSIM technology. In a nutshell, an eSIM is a virtual card that is already built into a compatible device, and when compared to a traditional SIM card, it provides its user with more benefits and a significantly better experience.
The adoption of eSIM is growing year by year, and this trend gains a foothold not only because of brand new devices’ “default” compatibility with this technology but also due to users’ true concern and trust. Let’s sort out why more and more people value an eSIM card as a friendly and convenient implement for everyday use.
The top tool for travel
First and foremost, eSIM is a must-have for international travelers, whose main pain is the global roaming they usually have to overpay for. An eSIM card offers its user a choice of service providers and data plans depending on the country of destination, duration of a trip, and other critical factors. So, you can always find the most appropriate price-quality combination for you and enjoy seamless mobile connectivity when traveling, even to the end of the world.
And this is not the whole story.
Other good reasons to believe in eSIM
Since you have two cards in your smartphone, a physical one and a virtual chip, you can switch between them easily with a click. Whether you need to change mobile operators or data plans, you should not waste time waiting and instead resolve any issue quickly and effortlessly online.
If you prefer to separate your work and private life but don’t feel like carrying around two smartphones, eSIM is the way to have the second number on the same device at the same time. It is entirely up to you to choose which plan to set up and use for making calls, texting, or using data.
The use of two different networks at the same time is one more benefit of having two cards. For example, if your home carrier experiences some drop-outs or technical snags and you need the fullest coverage, eSIM is at your fingertips to help.
Ecological awareness is not the least of the reasons to adopt eSIM, as it’s more environmentally friendly — no plastic, packaging, or manufacturing for a virtual card. Everything, from installing to using, is done digitally.
More security and power
eSIM technology meets the current challenge of IT product development, such as optimization of hardware components and higher performance of devices. Furthermore, and this is critical, eSIM technology provides a higher level of security. If your smartphone is lost or stolen, unlike a regular SIM card, an eSIM card cannot be physically swapped out, allowing your smartphone to be more easily tracked. Your data and identity are loaded into software, and any changes require authentication with an operator. eSIM is an embedded chip. If somebody tries to overwrite a current user’s profile, he needs to know a specific security key. Thus, eSIM definitely adds extra protection to your smartphone and the sensitive information on it.
By all means, eSIM technology will power the future. Together with 5G connectivity set to modify mobile services fundamentally, the eSIM will play a vital role. This combination of the two breakthrough technologies will create a whole world of new services that just weren’t possible before now.
