An eSIM (embedded-SIM) is a form of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device. Instead of an integrated circuit located on a removable SIM card, typically made of PVC, an eSIM consists of software installed onto an eUICC chip permanently attached to a device.

eSIMs don't need an extra slot for placement. They are already embedded in the phone by the manufacturer. All the users need to do is configure the eSIM for their network and database. Users can store data for multiple profiles in a single eSIM card, but only one stays active at a time.

Advantage of eSIM

• Easier to activate than physical SIM cards

• Switch between networks with a few taps
• Efficient for traveling personnel
• ESIM take up less space

Disadvantages of eSIM

• Hard to switch devices
• ESIM support limited to premium phones
