What is an eSIM?
The eSIM is an innovative digital technology that allows the activation of telecommunications services without the need to use a traditional removable chip. Instead, this chip comes integrated within the device, and is easily activated by scanning a QR code, which contributes to reducing the need for traditional devices and chips.
What is the price of an eSIM in Egypt?
The eSIM is expected to be launched at a price of 270 Egyptian pounds. If the customer switches from another network, the price will rise to 320 pounds, which reflects the cost of switching between networks.
The most important features of the eSIM
The eSIM has a number of features that make it an ideal choice for users seeking to experience modern communications technology. The most notable of these features are:
Easy to switch between networks:
The user can easily change the network or package he uses, without having to manually replace the SIM card, which saves time and effort for users.
Higher security:
Because the chip is embedded within the device, it reduces the possibility of the chip being lost or damaged, making it more secure than traditional chips.
Support for modern devices:
The eSIM supports most modern smartphones, including iPhones and recent Android devices, making it a convenient option for users with the latest devices.
Improving the design of smart devices:
By eliminating the need to use a traditional plastic chip, eSIM helps reduce the size of smart devices and improve their internal designs, allowing manufacturers to make more space for other technologies inside the devices.
