What is an eSIM?
Understanding eSIM technology
eSIM stands for "embedded SIM," a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without using a physical SIM card. It's built into your device, making it easy to switch between carriers and plans without the need for physical SIM cards. eSIMs are supported by most modern smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
