Getting Started with eSIM
If you're planning to travel internationally, you've probably heard about eSIM technology. But what exactly is an eSIM, and why should you consider using one for your next trip?
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without having to use a physical SIM card. It's built directly into your smartphone and can be programmed remotely.
