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.
