There is a tremendous change in technology in India. Till now we were using the SIM i.e. subscriber identity model in physical form, but now the days of e-SIM i.e. Embeded SIM are coming soon. Now all the companies have prepared it. Recently, Airtel asked its customers to switch to ESIM, so if you are going to take ESIM, first know its advantages and disadvantages, 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 the phone manufacturer will make. In this, all the information like the customer’s identity and number will be saved, no separate tray will be given for this.
Now we tell you about its benefits, if ESIM is not in physical form then it cannot be removed or hacked, there have been cases in the last several years where the clone of SIM has been made. Along with this, companies are also saying that this type of SIM will come with multi-layer security feature, which can also save us from cyber threats. According to companies, the third advantage is that the authentication of your phone will be safe, while it provides an additional layer of safety so that you can control access to it.
Now we 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 inside. Whereas 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 eliminate privacy.
