eSIM is an embedded SIM inside a device that is different than the usual plastic SIM cards. It is an integral part of the phone itself. Unlike, traditional physical SIM cards, eSIM works within the device itself and useful for M2M too. Well, machine-to-machine (M2M) is direct communication between devices using any communications channel, including wired and wireless mediums. Using an eSIM service, users can remotely add or remove operators (SIM profiles) without physically swapping the SIM cards.
For an eSIM to work, it should be supported by both carriers and devices. To note, the usage of eSIM is not only limited to mobile phones, it is also used in smart wearables, AI translators, GPS Tracking, video surveillance devices, etc.
