By Jitendra Jangid- Friends, in today's modern era, phones have become an important part of our lifestyle, without which we cannot spend even a minute, but we need a SIM to run these phones, technology is developing rapidly day by day in India, one of them is the change from traditional physical SIM card to ESIM technology. So far, we have used physical SIM cards (Subscriber Identity Module) to connect to the mobile network, but the days of embedded SIM or ESIM are fast approaching. But do you know how they work and how beneficial they are, let's know about them-

What is ESIM?

ESIM (embedded SIM) is different from the physical SIM card you use. Instead of a removable card, ESIM is a small chip embedded directly inside your mobile device by the manufacturer. This chip stores all your mobile network information such as your subscriber identity and phone number.

Benefits of ESIM

Enhanced security: ESIM is embedded inside the device, so it cannot be physically removed or stolen.

Multi-layer cybersecurity: Telecom companies claim that ESIMs come with advanced multi-layer security features that help protect users from cyber threats.

Secure authentication: ESIM authentications provide an additional layer of security, helping keep your phone secure and giving you better control over who accesses your device.

Disadvantages of ESIM

Device dependency: If your phone gets damaged or breaks, you cannot easily remove your SIM and transfer it to another device as ESIM is embedded inside.

Dependency on company apps: To activate or manage ESIM, you may need to install your telecom provider's app.
