Whether you’re getting ready for a trip abroad – or gearing up for a global IoT deployment – deciding between eSIM and physical SIM can be daunting, as both contain their own unique set of benefits.
An eSIM (short for embedded Subscriber Identity Module), serves as a digital SIM that enables you to activate a cellular plan from a carrier without the need for a physical SIM card. Integrated directly into your device, it can be programmed with your subscription details; however, eSIMs are also available in removable form factors. This technology provides the convenience of remote SIM provisioning, allowing users to configure their eSIM cards with the necessary carrier profile without the need for a physical SIM card.
Traditionally, physical SIM cards have been the primary choice for mobile communication. These compact chips securely store subscriber details, facilitating easy connection to mobile networks. Their widespread compatibility and user-friendly design have been their key advantages. Physical SIM cards can either be embedded within the device or removable; however, the fundamental distinction between traditional SIM technology and modern eSIMs lies in the latter's capability for remote provisioning of carrier profiles.
