How Businesses and Employees Can Win with eSIMs

It’s been eight years since eSIMs hit the consumer market, but according to a recent YouGov survey, a staggering 60 percent of British adults have never heard of them. Even among those who have, many don’t fully understand what they are or how they work (14 percent of both), meaning a huge chunk of the UK population is missing out on the benefits they offer.

Simply put, an eSIM is an “embedded” or virtual SIM. It replaces the need for a traditional plastic SIM card, as it’s already built right into users’ devices. Like many digital upgrades to previously analog systems (think MP3 players or eBooks), the eSIM is a much simpler and more convenient alternative to its traditional, but outdated, predecessor.
