An eSIM is a digital SIM that is included in many phone models since 2018 and is becoming the new standard in SIM technology. It allows you to activate a mobile data plan from a network provider without having to use a physical SIM. You can use eSIM alongside your existing physical SIM card.
Dual SIM is a combination of a physical SIM card and an eSIM on a single phone. Dual SIM gives you the convenience of having two mobile connectivity providers on one phone.
Here are just a few of the many ways that you can use Dual SIM:
- Add a local data plan when you're travelling to a different country or region
- Have separate voice and data plans
- Use one number for business and another number for personal calls
