This foutage of mouth ..

Apparently, to use an ESIM, you need a physical sim then migrate it to ESIM.
So what is the advantage ?
Apart from that as it is software, it is more easily piratable.

The advantage? What question! It’s like asking what wifi is for because the wired exists ..

Share data and the commission between two aircraft without the need for two SIM
And clearly, this is the future of mobile telephony … fed up with this piece of plastic that is no longer useful from the smartphone.

Downright a big foutage of mouth. And like, you reset your such, you have to repay 10 euros from esim. I had one, I went back to a classic SIM, at least you can move it easily and no need to pay after a phone reset, it’s abused … abused ..

“Share data and the commission between two devices without the need for two SIMs”
No, you can’t
ESIM simply replaces physical sim and you cannot multiply it endlessly

In an iPhone for example you can have 2 lines at a time, one in physical sim and the other in esim, so personal line → esim work line → physics
I’m ok, so that you explain how to hack it ?, We come back to the first thing, not multiplied

Precisely, ESIM does not necessarily replace physical sim, it completes it.
In my case on my iPhone I have a SIM reserved for data and the other for communication

In absolute terms, ESIM is enough, no need to insert anything before, it becomes a very good solution to go abroad think about it !
And they can be combined on the same device, just switch.

It is not possible neither with a SIM nor with an esim

During the phone reset you have the choice to keep the ESIM settings or not. She is very much related to your phone, so a reset and you find her.
Crush56:

It’s just that you have 2 sim in your phone

Two sim including only one physics, which avoid having absolutely a laptop with two physical sims

Bringing for 10 € is super mean free … FULTIVE THE FREE DE 15 years ago ..

If my phone is broken and I have an ESIM non -compatible emergency phone, how I do ?
Then, paying 10 €, is abused !

Should the E-SIM repay with each change of phone, or it is an option related to the subscription ?

ESIM is linked to the phone. I don’t know how Free works on this point. At Orange, it’s free to regenerate an esim

Are there completely dematerialized SIM cards ?

morassol
ah yes, I assure you, orange or I don’t know which big operators do it (did it ? ), a SIM for the smartphone and the ESIM for the laptop or tablet for the sharing of data.
And clearly I would like to have the technical explanation for what it is impossible ..

ESIM: which operators and compatible packages ?

In 2023, would ESIM finally become a real subject ? If we can already rule on the scheduled end of the venerable SIM card, the democratization of ESIM is still too shy in France despite its availability in the majority of operators. Here is the list of those who offer ESIM with their packages.

With the recent announcement of the iPhone 15 and rumors around the probable abandonment of the SIM location in Europe, we would have thought that the future of the dilapidated SIM card was finally going to be sealed by Apple. Fortunately, it is not the case for operators, since the next iPhone will be well distributed in Europe with a SIM card compartment, while of course compatible with the famous Esim.

For laymen, remember that this technology represents no more or less than the new generation of SIM card. The principle being that it is directly integrated by the manufacturer in a smartphone, a tablet or any other compatible device, therefore no need to go to a physical store to get a SIM card or wait for it to be shipped. Note that in theory, ESIM data is stored in a secure manner, which makes it difficult to copy unauthorized and thus avoid piracy.

In France, this technology has taken time to impose itself, the operators being still very attached to the sacrosanct SIM card which lasts still today, but for more time ? It is sometimes more expensive in a package.

We have listed the operators and the various packages that offer ESIM in their offers or as an option

Who are the historical operators who offer ESIM ?

ESIM packages at Orange and Sosh

All of the 4G and 5G mobile packages offered by Orange and Sosh are compatible ESIM. Basic, the operator sends a SIM card as part of the subscription to a package, but it is possible to convert it to ESIM from the Orange and I application. Or since the MySosh application. You can get a fully ESIM package by selecting the number portability and choosing an Orange or Sosh ESIM card.

In the case of a package with a new number, it will all the same cost you 10 euros in addition to the SIM card For conversion, billed on the monthly payment of your package.

If you already have a package at Orange or Sosh, you can also convert your SIM card to ESIM with the same manipulation.
