Here are some of the key benefits of using eSIM technology:
- Convenience – eSIM profiles can be quickly downloaded and activated remotely without having to obtain a physical SIM card or open up the device. This makes switching cellular plans and carriers much easier.
- Flexibility – Multiple eSIM profiles can be stored on a single device, allowing you to easily switch between different phone numbers, data plans, and carriers as needed.
- Dual SIM functionality – Having multiple eSIM profiles enables you to have two or more active lines or numbers on a single device, like a personal and work number.
- Security – eSIM profiles are embedded and tamper-resistant. This prevents physical SIM swap fraud. The remote provisioning is also more secure than handing SIM cards to store employees.
- Streamlined devices – With no physical SIM card required, devices can have smoother, more integrated designs without the need for a SIM tray. This improves water resistance and durability.
- International roaming – Switching between eSIM profiles makes traveling and roaming easier without having to carry multiple SIM cards.
- Carrier flexibility – eSIMs make it easier to avoid carrier-locked devices and switch between networks. You don’t have to wait for a new SIM card to switch carriers.
- Backups and transfers – eSIM profiles can be securely backed up to the cloud and transferred to new devices if needed.
So in summary, eSIM technology provides convenience, flexibility, security, and global interoperability benefits compared to traditional physical SIM cards for cellular connectivity.
