eSIM

Rakuten Viber has rolled out an in-app travel eSIM service in the Philippines, allowing users to purchase data-only roaming packages for international trips without installing another application or replacing their physical SIM cards.

Smart Communications has partnered with global technology firm Thales to roll out the Smart Prepaid and TNT Multi SIM, a solution that enables eSIM functionality on non-eSIM capable smartphones.

Smart Communications has launched the Multi SIM eSIM adapter to bring eSIM capabilities to non-eSIM-capable Android devices.

eSIM smartphone growth continues its upward trajectory, and 2020 will prove another positive year as Samsung becomes the latest OEM to boost the eSIM market.

eSIM is pre-installed in mobile and wearable devices, and is equipped with automatic activation without the need for a physical SIM.

eSIM stands for ?embedded SIM?, a standardized SIM chip open to multiple mobile operators globally.
