What is an eSIM?

eSIM, standing for Embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a digital Sim card embedded in a mobile device and can connect you to any operator offering eSIM services. You cannot remove it and insert it into another device.
It is physically connected (soldered) to the motherboard. You could activate it by setting up the “eSIM profile,” a new operator.
The information on an eSIM is rewritable, so you can switch your network without having to remove your SIM and insert another.
