How does an eSIM differ from a physical SIM?

  • A physical SIM card is a physical chip card you slot into your device.
  • An eSIM is a digital SIM that can be downloaded onto your device and connects your
    device to the bmobile network.
  • The eSIM runs on the same network as physical SIM cards, so there is not much
    difference in how they work outside the initial set-up and transferring of your number and
    plan.
  • An eSIM performs the same function as a physical SIM card but removes the requirement
    to physically swap SIMs when switching devices or requiring the use of another mobile
    number.
