eSIM Profile

eSIM stands for Embedded SIM, which is also known as "embedded SIM card", "virtual SIM card" and "no physical card required" in Chinese. The principle of use is that a small chip has been installed in the mobile phone, so there is no need to put the network card into the mobile phone's card slot like a traditional SIM card. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the card being lost or damaged. The signal can be found even when the mobile phone is lost! It can also be used on mobile phones, tablets, smart watches and other devices. And! You can also surf the Internet normally using an eSIM without a phone number, but it does not include voice and text messaging functions!
