Consumer eSIM is a ground-breaking technology. It’s been around for almost a decade now. However, it started to gain mainstream attention amongst consumers only last year, when Apple released its eSIM-only version of the iPhone 14 in the US. Since then, eSIM has become a telco buzzword – widely discussed, marketed, and publicised.
The technology offers plenty of benefits: from digitalising customer experience and boosting their satisfaction to minimising operational and manufacturing costs and increasing ARPU.
However, as with any truly transformative technology, it’s widely misunderstood and under-appreciated.
In this whitepaper, we explain the concept of eSIM technology in the consumer segment and provide both telco and non-telco operators with deep insight into the opportunities and challenges lying ahead of its adopters
