Questions tagged [e-sim]

The e-sim tag is to be used for questions related to embedded-SIMs (eSIM) in the area of mobile cellular telecommunication. An eSIM allows to switch mobile subscriptions in the form of digital profiles instead of switching SIM cards in mobile phones.

Questions regarding all aspects of embedded-SIMs (eSIM) should be tagged with e-sim.

SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module and identifies the subscriber of a mobile telecommunication service. The most common form factor for SIMs are smartcards.

An embedded-SIM (eSIM), or embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC), is a form of programmable SIM that is embedded directly into a device. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESIM)

eSIMs can either be smartcards or chips on the mainboard of devices.

The GSMA provides standards for eSIMs free of charge and promotes its use in the mobile telecommunication field.
