Pakistan: Ufone launches its first eSIM
Ufone has partnered with Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security (G+D) to launch its first-ever eSIMs across the country. The Ufone eSIM platform enables subscribers with a compatible handset to integrate multiple SIM card numbers directly into their phones or IoT devices using the internet.

The development eliminates the need for the physical installation of SIM cards. Customers can also download data plans and remove old SIM profiles within the same device without having to physically switch their SIM cards. Ufone’s eSIM service is available across Pakistan.
Speaking on this occasion, Ufone’s Spokesperson said, “Our customers are now readily adopting an environment-friendly way of living thus it is important for us to provide them with innovative solutions for day-to-day operations. By using Ufone’s eSIM, customers can experience seamless services in a sustainable manner and avoid the use of plastic SIMs. At Ufone, customer satisfaction and ease are the utmost priority. Therefore, every possible step is being taken to ensure their convenience.”
This technology is available for a number of eSIM-enabled devices like laptops, tablets, wearables, and IoT devices. It is also available for all handsets that are compatible with functions like iPhone 11, 12 and all its variants, including iPhone XS, XR and XS max which work as dual SIM Phones.
Other compatible handsets include Samsung S21, Samsung S20 Series, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Z flip, Huawei P40 Pro, Huawei P40, Google Pixel 4 XL, Google Pixel 4, Google Pixel 3A XL, and Google Pixel 3A.
Ufone’s eSIM partner, Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security (G+D), is an industry leader in eSIM management with more than 95 million commercial eSIM/eUICCs Managed Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (EUICCs) for some of the biggest mobile operators and OEM in Asia, Europe, Americas, Middle East, and Africa. eSIM Pakistan
E-SIM is short for Embedded Subscriber Identity Module, or Embedded SIM. Rather than being available as a physical entity, the manufacturers integrate a small SIM card inside the phone, saving the switching between the physical ones when you change your service provider.
In machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, there is no requirement to change the SIM card, which avoids the necessity for a connector. It increases safety, network security, and security while decreasing space requirements since a relatively bulky connector are no longer required, improving purpose flexibility. An eSIM can be provisioned remotely end-users can add or withdraw operators without physically swapping a SIM from the device.
eSIM is an international specification by the GSMA which permits remote SIM provisioning of any mobile device. GSMA represents eSIM as the SIM for the next generation of connected consumer devices. Networking solutions using eSIM technology can be broadly appropriate to different Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios, including connected cars (smart rearview mirrors, onboard diagnostics (OBD), MiFi devices vehicle Wi-Fi hotspots).
