PARIS – French telco Transatel has rolled out eSIM profiles, allowing users to access the internet via cellular networks without requiring a physical SIM card.
eSIM (short for embedded SIM) is a built-in SIM card that can work successively with several mobile operators. The end user can subscribe to a mobile operator's offer and immediately download the mobile operator's profile in their eSIM, instead of waiting for the delivery of a physical SIM card.
Available under Ubigi, Transatel's new customer-facing brand for worldwide cellular connectivity dedicated to the Internet of Things, the new eSIM profiles will be free on compatible devices, including the latest Apple iPhone XS and XR. For those with laptops, tablets and other devices, Ubigi may be used in over 140 destinations, at near-to-local prices.
