The Ministry of Communications announced today (Sunday) its intention to oblige cellular companies to offer an eSIM service in the coming months. The move is expected to make it significantly easier for soldiers, evacuees and consumers who suffer from cellphone malfunctions.
The eSIM is a small, smart and encrypted chip that you know from your regular SIM card, and actually migrates into the device. Activation (or mobility) is by scanning a QR code, so there is no need to wait for the messenger until the physical SIM card arrives and move around.
