Utility News Desk!!! Tremendous changes are being seen in technology in India. Till now we were using SIM i.e. Subscriber Identity Model in physical form, but now very soon the days of e-SIM i.e. embedded SIM are going to come. Now all the companies have made preparations for this. Recently, Airtel had asked its customers to switch to eSIM, so if you are going to take eSIM, then know its advantages and disadvantages first, so that you do not have to regret later.
What is eSIM?
Let us first tell you what this eSIM is. Actually till now your SIM card was in physical form, there will be no card in this SIM. The chip will be installed in the slot inside your mobile, which will be done by the phone manufacturing companies. In this, all the information like customer’s identity and number will be saved, no separate tray will be provided for this.
Now let us tell you about its benefits, if the eSIM is not in physical form then it cannot be removed or hacked, in the last several years there have been cases where the SIM was cloned. Along with this, companies are also saying that this type of SIM will come with multi-layer security feature, which can also protect us from cyber threats. According to the companies, the third benefit is that your phone’s authentication will remain secure, while it provides an extra layer of security so you can control access to it.
Now let us tell you some disadvantages of this SIM. The first disadvantage is that if your phone breaks, you cannot change your SIM because the SIM is embedded inside. Whereas the physical SIM can be removed from the tray and used in another phone. You will also have to install the company’s app to use your SIM, which can lead to loss of privacy.
