More on the subject eSIM

Small big news from Germany! Google, the GSMA and Deutsche Telekom have developed a simple and secure method for direct eSIM transfer. Android manufacturers should now follow suit and catch up with Apple’s iPhone. The first Android smartphone to benefit from this will be the Pixel 7.

An independent study by Fraunhofer IZM gives the eSIM a better sustainability rating than its traditional counterpart. The advantages of the eSIM are thus extended by the factor of greater sustainability. A clear indication that the eSIM will become the standard.

The trend has been apparent for quite some time, but now it is becoming real – at least in the USA! The iPhone 14 will be delivered in the USA without a physical SIM card slot. Now the mobile carriers have to react.

The renowned telecom expert Ralf Beyeler met with our Co-Founder Marco Arnold for an interview to talk about the potential of the eSIM in Switzerland. All questions and answers can be found exclusively here.

We love to see technology simplify life. With the eSIM, registering a new mobile plan has never been easier. Apple is already enabling iPhone users to manage their own eSIMs in the first areas. This is a clear sign of where we in Switzerland may be heading in the future.

In the future, more and more laptops will be equipped with integrated cellular technology in order to be connected even without a hotspot. Goodbye hotspot quarrels!

For Apple and consumers, the eSIM is a savior; for mobile network providers, it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Apple is becoming the gatekeeper for mobile services.
