Do you recall how many times you have searched for a paper clip or needle to open the SIM card slot? And how many times have you lost the tiny plastic card while changing it? Well, those days are coming to an end!
eSIM (embedded SIM) technology is no longer just a futuristic concept, but a reality that is revolutionizing the way we connect. We at HandySIM are here to show you why you should forget about physical cards and embrace this innovation.
Imagine that your SIM card has disappeared... and instead, your phone has a small chip built into the motherboard. That's an eSIM. It stores all the necessary data for your mobile subscription.
Activation? Simple! Instead of inserting a card, you just scan a QR code (which you get from us) and your mobile plan loads instantly.
This is perhaps the biggest advantage. If you travel frequently, you know how inconvenient it is:
Buying a local SIM: You have to find a store, fill out forms, and give up your main SIM card.
Expensive roaming: If you don't change your card, your bill can be shocking.
With eSIM: While you're still at the airport, you can purchase and activate a data plan from HandySIM for the country you're visiting. You keep your main number active to receive important calls while using eSIM for cheap and fast mobile internet.
Many of us need two numbers—one personal and one for work. With physical cards, this often means carrying two phones or using complicated (and not always available) Dual-SIM slots.
With eSIM: You can have two (or more) numbers active simultaneously on the same phone. Switching between personal and work profiles is literally a one-tap operation in the device settings.
Greater security: Since the eSIM is built-in, it cannot be easily stolen or removed, making it difficult for malicious actors to use your number in the event of phone theft.
Damage protection: There is no risk of bending, losing, or damaging the plastic.
More space: Removing the physical SIM slot allows smartphone manufacturers to improve water resistance or free up space for larger batteries.
Chances are, yes! Most leading smartphone models released in the last few years support eSIM:
Apple: iPhone XS/XR and all newer models.
Samsung: Galaxy S20, Note 20, and all newer flagships.
Google: Pixel 3 and all newer models....
and many more, including smartwatches!
Before you buy, check if your smartphone supports eSIM. You can always find the exact model and more information in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about eSIM section on our website.
