What advantages does this new card offer?

eSIM technology is called to transform the way we communicate, adding new uses to existing devices, facilitating connection to new ones and providing an improved, more digital and immediate mobile communications service subscription experience.

With the eSIM you avoid having to manipulate a physical SIM card with the problems that this can cause.

It also allows the download of multiple subscriptions on the same device, although only one can be active at the same time (except Dual SIM devices).

Another advantage that the eSIM will bring us is the optimization of the design of mobile devices, given that the space currently occupied by the physical SIM card slot can be used to support other functionalities, in this way they can be connected to the smaller and smaller devices.
