Welcome to the future, where the traditional SIM card is taking a digital leap. Enter the eSIM, a revolutionary innovation that's turning heads and changing the way we connect. eSIMs are here to bring more flexibility, convenience, and, quite frankly, a little bit of tech magic into our lives. Curious to know what an eSIM is and how it stacks up against the classic SIM card we’ve all come to know? Stick around as we dive into why Public Mobile is leading the charge in this digital evolution. It's the future of connection, served up on a virtual platter, and it's all about making your life easier.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to access a cellular plan without having to insert a physical SIM card into your device. With Public Mobile, getting an eSIM is as simple as selecting it during the subscription setup process or switching over from a traditional SIM card. It provides instant activation, enhanced security, and the ability to have up to two phone numbers on select devices. That’s why Public Mobile is providing eSIMs for all eSIM-compatible phones.
Advantages of eSIM vs Physical SIM Card:
- Quick and Easy Activation: eSIMs offer immediate activation within minutes, allowing a hassle-free setup.
- Flexibility for International Travel: You can use a foreign carrier’s eSIM plan when travelling outside of Canada, making roaming more convenient.
- Dual SIM Functionality: Depending on your device, eSIMs enable you to manage multiple phone numbers, making it easier to switch between personal and business lines.
- Environmentally Friendly: eSIMs contribute to a greener planet by eliminating the need for plastic SIM cards.
- Device Compatibility: Most new devices, including the iPhone XR and Samsung Galaxy S20, support eSIMs.
Managing Multiple Accounts Using eSIM:

International Travel and Roaming:
Public Mobile's support for eSIMs enables you to switch to a foreign carrier's eSIM when travelling. Upon your return home, you can easily switch back to your local eSIM without any disruption to your Public Mobile subscription.
