eSIM from GL.iNet

eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a type of SIM card chip integrated directly into devices, acting as a programmable chip that allows for the software-based configuration of data plans or phone numbers (eSIM profiles). eSIM offers greater flexibility and convenience, enabling users to easily switch carriers or change services without the need to insert or replace physical SIM cards. This technology is widely used in smartphones, wearable devices, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

To make eSIM technology available for routers and to address the complex production issues of chip soldering, as well as to provide customers with more options, GL.iNet has introduced a physical, removable eSIM card. The eSIM card from GL.iNet possesses the same functionalities and usage methods as an embedded eSIM chip.

Key feature for eSIM：

4G/5G Compatibility: Supports 4G and 5G networks for reliable and fast connections.
Flexible Profile Management: Easily add, delete or enable eSIM profiles(up to 8 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.

Form Factor	A physical SIM is a small, removable card that must be inserted into a dedicated SIM card slot in your device.	An eSIM is an embedded chip within the device, not removable or interchangeable physically.
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	Traditional 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.

Frequently asked questions

Have you a question?

Can I use eSIM in different countries?

Yes, eSIM is especially useful for travel. Many carriers offer international data packages, allowing you to easily download and activate global data services, avoiding expensive roaming fees. But not all carriers and countries support eSIM. It’s recommended to check local support before purchasing a device.

How do I switch between different carriers?

eSIM allows you to quickly switch between different mobile carriers. You can manage multiple eSIM profiles in your router web interface and select the service you want to activate.

Is eSIM suitable for travel?

Yes, it’s very suitable for travel. Users can purchase local eSIM data packages in different countries, avoiding expensive roaming fees.

Is eSIM secure?

eSIM, through digital management, offers higher security compared to traditional SIM cards. It is difficult to steal or clone and supports strong encryption protection, reducing the risk of cloning and tampering. Therefore, eSIM performs better in terms of data security and device protection.

How many eSIM profiles can be added in an esim?

The capacity of the eSIM profile and the storage space of the eSIM card are determining factors. GL.iNet's eSIM cards offer 380KB of usable space, and the eSIM profiles we have tested range in size from 10KB to 30KB. Currently, we have set a limit of 8 eSIM profiles per card, but this limitation will be lifted in the future.

Do the esim supports 5G network？

Support is available, but it depends on the eSIM profile you purchase. Most eSIM stores currently offer 5G compatibility. For specific details, please refer to the product promotional page of the eSIM store.

Can I download esim profile multiple times?

This primarily depends on the settings configured by the eSIM store vendor on their eSIM profile servers. The majority only allow for a single download, and any subsequent attempts will be rejected by the server.
