Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000400

An embedded Subscriber Identity Module, a small chip permanently built into a mobile device that stores network subscription profiles. Unlike traditional physical SIM cards, an eSIM can be reprogrammed remotely with new carrier information. This eliminates the need to physically swap cards when changing service providers or traveling internationally, with profiles managed through software.
