Hello Pro Fans!
Mr. GSMPRO lands directly from his global base , GSMPRO.CL , to unravel the mystery of the eSIM in the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. Get ready for an unprecedented technological expedition!
Since the iPhone 14 launched in the United States in 2022, these devices have come without a traditional SIM slot, forcing iPhone fans to migrate to the eSIM, which also applies to the iPhone 15. What is this new technology and how do I activate it?
Mr. GSMPRO explains it all!
What is an eSIM and how does it differ from a traditional SIM?
Both SIMs and eSIMs allow you to connect to the cellular network and enjoy calls, texts, and internet access on your mobile device. However, there are some key differences:
Format:
- SIM: Small physical cards that insert into a slot on the device. They come in different sizes, with the nanoSIM being the most common.
- eSIM: Chips integrated into the device circuit, without the need for a physical slot and configured digitally.
Activation:
- SIM: Insert it into the device and follow the on-screen instructions or contact your operator.
- eSIM: Digital activation using a QR code provided by your carrier or by manually entering plan information on the device.
Flexibility:
- SIM: Usually associated with a specific device. If you change devices, you'll need a new SIM or transfer your existing one.
- eSIM: More flexible, they allow you to store multiple plans on a single device and activate or deactivate them as needed. Ideal for using different phone numbers or services!
How to activate the eSIM on an iPhone 14 or iPhone 15?
Method 1: Using a QR code
