eSIMs are considered to be very secure. They use the same security features as traditional physical SIM cards and some other benefits. While leveraging the same networks and technology as typical plastic SIM cards providing all the same features, non physical eSIMs allow for some added benefits.
As with any technology there is always a small risk of security breaches. Users should always be sure to take appropriate precautions to protect their QR codes, eSIMs, and mobile devices.
Example of eSIM Benefits
-
Remote activation - eSIMs can be activated remotely, which means that they can be programmed and activated without the need for a physical SIM card. This reduces the risk of fraud and theft that can occur when physical SIM cards are lost or stolen.
-
Tamper-proof design - eSIMs are embedded directly into the device hardware, making them virtually impossible to remove or tamper with. This means that eSIMs are less vulnerable to physical attacks or damage.
-
Secure storage - eSIMs use secure storage modules that are designed to protect against unauthorised access and tampering. This ensures that your eSIM data remains secure even if your phone is lost or stolen.
