What is eSim?

The term "eSIM" simply means an embedded SIM card. There are no physical SIM cards involved and no physical swapping over required by you. An eSIM is basically a small chip inside your phone and works in a similar way to the NFC chip that's used for payment tech like Apple Pay and Google Pay. 

The information on an eSIM is rewritable, meaning you can decide to change your operator with a simple phone call. They're really easy to add to a data plan – connecting devices with eSIMs to a mobile account can be done in minutes.
