A guide to activating eSIM on your smartphone - Prune

Travelling can be an enjoyable and thrilling experience, especially in overseas, but it's not always simple. There are several things to consider while planning your trip. It includes having proper access to an internet connection on your devices to stay connected with your loved ones back home.

In any case, eSIMs have made life considerably easy in general and not just when travelling. In this post, we'll learn how to activate eSIM on your android/ iOS device and get an understanding of why eSIMs are so common among travellers. Let's begin!

Introduction to an eSIM

The word eSIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module. It is a sim card integrated inside the device, so it's not removable. As eSIMs gain popularity, more phone companies and manufacturers are beginning to offer this service.

With eSIM, you can take advantage of mobile plans from other networks, which offer many benefits, particularly while travelling overseas.

How does the eSIM work?

An eSIM is a sim card that is electronically connected to a phone's motherboard. With apps and websites, it enables you to use multiple network providers. The eSIM allows you to use multiple phone numbers, such as personal and business profiles.

When travelling internationally, this technology is handy. Using an eSIM, you can use different network providers instead of purchasing a new local sim card for your vacation. Therefore, when travelling abroad, using local operators' services is much easier with an eSIM.

So if you currently own a phone that supports eSIM, then it's time you get started on it! And if you're planning to upgrade to a new device, there are several eSIM-compatible phones on the market these days.

The process to activate your eSIM is listed below. However, having a platform to choose the right mobile plan should be your priority. Prune is a one-stop destination that offers the best mobile plans at affordable rates. And you can pick plans from the leading telecom providers of India, such as Airtel, Vodafone Idea, Jio, and BSNL.
