An eSIM, short for Embedded SIM, is a digital version of a SIM card.
Unlike a traditional SIM card that you can touch, remove, or insert, an eSIM is already built into your device’s motherboard.
This means:
• You do not need to insert a physical SIM card.
• You do not need to buy or wait for a SIM delivery.
• You do not need to remove or replace cards when switching networks.
The eSIM is installed digitally using a QR code or activation code provided by your mobile carrier — like Kango Mobile.
How an eSIM Works
• Your device has a small built-in chip called an “eUICC.”
• This chip stores your mobile network profile (your number + data plan).
• When you scan the eSIM QR code, your phone downloads the network settings.
• Once downloaded, your phone instantly connects to your network.
So the eSIM performs the exact same job as a regular SIM — but in a faster and more modern way.
