eSIM from GL.iNet

To streamline the production process and address the complexities of chip soldering in routers, GL.iNet has developed a plug-and-play physical eSIM card.

The difference between physical eSIM and true eSIM

A physical eSIM is a hardware chip that, although soldered into the device, still requires the user to configure it using an activation code or QR code from the carrier.

A true eSIM is entirely software-based, with no physical SIM card involved, allowing users to download and activate multiple carriers' services through software.

Key Features:

  • 4G/5G Compatibility: Supports 4G and 5G networks for reliable and fast connections.
  • Flexible Profile Management: Easily add, edit, or delete up to 16 to 38 eSIM profiles.
  • Convenient Top-Ups: Select and purchase your preferred data packages from most eSIM stores worldwide at any time.
  • Global Compatibility: Works with eSIM profiles from most global eSIM stores.
  • Privacy Protection: Purchase eSIM profiles online without providing personal information, reducing the risk of privacy breaches.
  • Preloaded Seed Profile: Comes with a seed profile that includes 1GB of free data for the U.S. and Europe, plus 100MB of Global Data, valid for 1 year from the activation date.
  • Device Compatibility: Compatible with selected GL.iNet devices.

 

What are the differences between normal SIM and GL.iNet physical eSIM?


Normal SIM  Physical eSIM
Form Factor A normal SIM is a small, removable card that must be inserted into a dedicated SIM card slot in your device. A physical eSIM is an embedded chip within the card, that can download different profiles.
Storage Capacity Typically stores a single carrier profile and limited phone book entries. Can store multiple carrier profiles, allowing users to switch between different carriers and plans easily.
Installation Users need to manually insert or remove the SIM card to switch carriers or phone numbers. Users can download and activate multiple carrier profiles digitally through Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.
Switching Physical SIM cards can be lost, damaged, or stolen. Switching carriers or phone numbers can be done seamlessly through the device's settings without needing to replace a physical card.
Availability Widely available and supported by virtually all mobile devices. Increasingly supported by modern smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and IoT devices, but not yet universal.
Activation 1. Insert SIM card
2. Remove SIM card
3. Destroy SIM card		 1. Enable Profile
2. Disable Profile
3. Delete Profile
