The Internet connection has completely transformed the way we experience travel. Today, all it takes is one mobile device to take advantage of so many different services. You only need a smartphone to make reservations and payments, consult geolocalised maps, use automatic translators, and much more. The Internet is indispensable when travelling, but it is not taken for granted to always have access to a connection when travelling in Italy and Europe. Let’s find out more about eSims and why they are the ideal solution to travel always connected without worries and in complete freedom.
What are eSims?
An eSim is the digital version of a traditional SIM card. The traditional SIM is a chip implanted on a PVC carrier, which has to be physically inserted into the device to gain access to the mobile network. The eSim, on the other hand, is a digital SIM integrated directly into the hardware of a mobile device for the same purpose. The latest generation of mobile devices are already integrated with this chip when they are manufactured. They are thus already equipped with a microchip that contains all the information necessary for unique identification. To take advantage of the services offered by telephone companies, you only have to select a specific operator and obtain a 19-digit ICCID serial code that will uniquely identify the Sim. This will also be accompanied by PIN and PUK codes and an authentication key generated by the carrier.
The advantages of eSims
eSims offer several advantages, proving to be very functional tools for travellers:
- They are immaterial, not taking up space
- They cannot break
- They cannot be lost
- In order to change operator, it is no longer necessary to physically change the SIM card. All you have to do is contact the customer service department of the selected telephone operator and download the data for the new user.
- Adaptable to different models of smartphones, tablets and other IoT devices.
- They are environmentally friendly and do not have to be disposed of once their function has been fulfilled.
