Sim, also known as Subscriber Identity Module, is a small plastic card that slots into the mobile phone. Sim holds mobile number information and allows to make and receive calls, messaging and use data. Sim stores contacts which makes it easy for user to switch mobiles without any contact loss. As time passes technology gets more advance, so nowadays E-sim is in trend. E-sim, also known as Embedded-sim, is used to replace the need for a physical sim-card. Rather than removable sim cards, E-sim can’t be removed, as it is a small chip which is embedded into the handset. The information of E-sim is rewritable so that it makes it easier to switch networks without inserting any new sim in the mobile.
