I saw a thread in front page talking about the emerging e-sim cards.

For those don't know what eSIM is. Let me share more light on it.

The Embedded SIM (e-SIM) is the next step in the evolution of SIM cards. Unlike the physical SIM, you do not need to insert an eSIM into your phone as it is already built into your smartphone, device or wearable.
You simply activate the eSIM with your account profile and you are ready to enjoy all the services you normally would with a physical SIM.


Considering the benefits such as

1. e-SIMs allow you have more than one phone number associated to your smart device. They particularly useful for people who want to manage personal and business lines.
2. The possibility of losing or damaging your SIM is reduced because it is built into your device.
3. You no longer have to deal with cutting SIM cards or finding adapters.
4. It is extremely convenient for frequent travelers, making it easier to switch between network operators.

I think the eSIM will do a great job in revolutionizing telecommunications.


However most of the devices we use in Nigeria are not compatible with eSIM.

I will love to see this eSIM soon

Have been using SIMO virtual sim for almost a year now.
Make sense.

Can it reduce phone theft too? Tired of losing phones to pickpockets.

Since the eSIM is non removable, it will definitely reduce phone theft since one can easily use it to track the phone.

What if your phone is stolen. How do you go about activating another one again
