eSIM is better than a physical SIM card because it has so many more benefits:
– eSIM is small: This not only allows extra room for other components, or perhaps a larger battery, it also enables manufacturers to rejig the internal layout of their devices. An eSIM doesn’t need to be near the edge of the phone and could make waterproofing devices even easier. – eSIM can’t be physically damagedor lost: because it’s embedded inside devices. – eSIM is secure: cant’ be duplicated. – eSIM can store multiple cellular profiles: several profiles can be stored so you can easily toggle to select which carrier you would like to use. – eSIM is easy to locate: it’s easier to find your phone in case it is lost or stolen since network providers can control eSIM remotely.
While eSIM has many benefits and it appears more advantageous than the physical SIM, there are still some limitations to the technology: – eSIM is relatively new: it is only available with more recent phone models and selected carriers. – eSIM is more difficult to transfer to a different device: Instead of popping the card out of an old smartphone phone, you have to download your data from the cloud to get your contacts, message, and other media back. – eSIM makes it difficult to identify the cause of anetwork issue: when you have connection or signal problems an easy test is to stick your SIM into a different phone to check if the problem is with your network or your device. You wouldn’t be able to do that with an eSIM.

Ubigi eSIM data plans work on eSIM-enabled and network unlocked devices.
To check if your device is eSIM compatible, follow these steps:
Dial *#06#. If you have an EID code on the screen, your phone is eSIM compatible.
To check if your iPhone/iPad is locked or unlocked by your provider, follow these steps:
Go to Settings.
Select General.
Choose About/Information.
Scroll down to Network provider lock/Carrier lock. You will see either "No SIM restrictions" or "SIM restricted" in this field. Check here what to do if you have "SIM restricted".
To check if your Android device is locked or unlocked, please contact your original carrier. (You can also test using a different carrier in your home country, which is usually not possible with a SIM-locked device)
