What is an eSIM




An eSIM is an embedded SIM which allows user to activate services of a telecom carrier without inserting any physical SIM card. Its not like a normaal SIM card, an eSIM can be digitally downloaded on a smartphone which is compatible with it. While the eSIM is currently not very popular, more and more manufacturers are providing the option for the benefits it offers to get more and more users like Jio done in 2016.

How can you get one


 Reliance Jio users can also avail the eSIM feature on a supporting device. In order to use an eSIM, you can go to nearest Jio Store, Reliance Digital or Jio Retailer with your proof of identity (same as we do while buying a physical SIM card) and a photograph to get a new Jio eSIM connection. Jio also provides a tool to find store in your locality. If you want to convert your Jio physical SIM to eSIM or transfer Jio eSIM from one device to another device then you can do it by sending an SMS from your device which have an active Jio SIM and the by completing your profile configuration process on your eSIM device.
