What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, short for "embedded SIM," is a digital SIM card that's built directly into your device. Imagine it like this:

  • Traditional SIM: A physical card you have to insert into your phone.
  • eSIM: A digital version of that, already inside your phone.

Instead of a small plastic card that you have to handle and insert, an eSIM is a small chip permanently inside your phone, tablet, or other device. It's programmable, which means it can be used to activate a mobile plan from Gohub (or another provider) without needing a physical SIM card.
