An eSIM, also known as an embedded SIM, works as a digital alternative to a physical SIM card. Instead of inserting a plastic SIM, the eSIM is already built into your device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch. When you purchase a plan, the provider sends a digital profile to your device, which is then downloaded and activated securely. This allows you to connect right away. You can store multiple eSIM profiles on one device and switch between them digitally, making it useful for travelers or anyone managing work and personal numbers without swapping SIM cards.
