With the rise of eSIMs, it’s now possible to have multiple digital SIM profiles on a single device. This technology, of course, revolutionizes mobile connectivity, especially for travelers and professionals. But what are the concrete advantages of having multiple eSIMs on one phone? We invite you to discover them!
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital version of the traditional SIM card. Unlike physical cards, it is integrated directly into the device and can be activated remotely via a QR code or an application.
Among the advantages of an eSIM are:
- No longer needing to buy and manage physical SIM cards.
- Instant access to international mobile plans.
- Easy installation via Wi-Fi, without requiring physical intervention.
- The ability to store multiple eSIM profiles on a single device.
eSIMs vs. physical SIM cards: what are the differences?
Why choose an eSIM over a traditional SIM card? Here are some major differences 👇:
- Flexibility: An eSIM allows you to quickly switch from one operator to another without changing cards.
- Simplified storage: No more need to keep and swap multiple SIM cards.
- Convenience: Ideal for travelers, an eSIM allows you to download a local plan upon landing.
Managing multiple physical SIM cards can be cumbersome:
- You have to store them and avoid losing them.
- Insert and remove them each time.
- Label them to avoid confusion.
Whereas with multiple eSIMs, everything is managed digitally, which greatly simplifies the user experience.
Dual SIM technology: how does it work?
Modern smartphones support Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology, allowing multiple eSIMs to be activated in parallel. Depending on the phone model, you can:
- Store multiple eSIM profiles on the same device.
- Use one eSIM and one physical SIM card simultaneously.
Unlike a traditional SIM card, an eSIM does not occupy a physical slot. This gives you the ability to save multiple international mobile plans and switch between them in just a few clicks.
