Fatshimetrie satisfy its readers by bringing them the latest developments in technology. One of the hottest topics at the moment is eSIM, an innovation that has generated a lot of interest in Egypt. Consumers are wondering when it will be available and which phones will support it.
What is eSIM? It is a digital communication chip integrated into modern devices, allowing you to connect to the network provider without the need for a traditional SIM card. This advancement is part of the efforts of the Ministry of Communications and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to support technological infrastructure and promote sustainable development.
The advantages of eSIM technology are numerous. It works in various devices such as tablets, laptops, smartwatches, medical devices, and smart car and home systems. It allows easy activation without having to physically replace SIM cards, the ability to get multiple numbers (profiles) on a single device, and the flexibility to subscribe and download profiles remotely, without having to visit the service provider. In addition, users can switch from one operator to another at any time, without having to visit a branch.
The main difference between the eSIM chip and the traditional SIM card is that the former is integrated into the device and cannot be removed, not requiring a dedicated slot unlike the classic SIM card.
Many recent devices support eSIM technology, such as the new Apple devices (iPhone and iPad Pro) as well as Samsung Galaxy smartphones and smartwatches from various brands.
The size of the eSIM chip is much smaller than that of the traditional SIM card, and it is manufactured and integrated into the device itself. Its activation is done by scanning the QR code provided by the service provider, through the official application, by installing a specific package or even by entering the information manually. The eSIM can be activated with any operator, at any time and in any place, without the need to go to an agency.
In Egypt, the official launch date of the eSIM chip has not yet been announced by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and Telecom Egypt. Consumers are eager to benefit from this revolutionary technology that will greatly facilitate their communication and connectivity experience.
