Here’s a new type of SIM that’s changing the way people think about – and use – their mobile phones.
They’re called eSim’s, and they’re the future of SIM technology.
eSims have some big advantages over their old physical counterpart (as we’ll be discussing in this post), bringing about new functionality that up until now was just a pipedream

What is an eSIM?
An eSim (short for Embedded SIM) is a new type of electronic SIM card that’s programmed and built into newer smartphone devices.
Whereas previously a physical SIM card would be necessary to connect to network providers, now with the eSim software programmed into the eUICC chip natively on your device, a physical SIM card is no longer necessary.
With the eSim being programmable, it can be adjusted and updated as you go – giving vastly improved flexibility in a number of different ways (more on that in a minute).
How do eSIMs work?
In many ways, eSims work the same as traditional SIM cards do – enabling you to connect to network service providers in your area.
However, what makes them different is that one is physical, and the other is electronic.
Let me explain.
Changing networks on a traditional SIM would require a whole new SIM card, plus a laboursome setup and connection – not to mention issues with keeping your mobile number.
Arduous at best.
Whereas with eSims, the process is as simple as a click of a button.
Seamlessly enabling you to traverse between providers with ease.
Simply buy your Australian eSim online, and away you go!
Why eSIM’s are better
The integration of eSims into smartphones allows Australian eSim providers like Zapme to offer previously unthinkable functionality to your device.
Here are a few examples:
Multiple numbers
With Zapme you can have multiple (as many as you like) phone numbers all running through the same device.
You could have one number for friends and family, one number for work, one number for your partner, and another for people you don’t know.
The options are endless.
Mobile data that travels with you
Zapme’s international roaming eSim allows for borderless connectivity in over 200+ countries.
No additional roaming fees, no daily charges, and no bill shock when you get home either.
Just data that travels with you, just as it should.
NO lock-in contracts
Traditionally, users have been locked into long-term costly mobile phone contracts.
Not only are they expensive, but they also fail to fit the nomadic lifestyles of many people who enjoy travelling or travel for work.
Zapme offers prepaid eSim options for Australians, so you’ll never be locked into a contract, and your mobile package can be as free-flowing and as flexible as you are.
Local business, done abroad
Zapme allows you to create local numbers, anywhere in the world.
So if your business is in one country, but you’re in another, you can route your calls through a local number, seamlessly, at no extra cost.
Do eSIMs work on all devices?
With eSims a relatively new feature on smartphones, unfortunately they’re not present on all devices.
If your phone was manufactured after 2019 (definitely if after 2020) then there’s a high chance your device has an inbuilt eSim ready for action.
Just buy your Australian eSim online, prepaid or not, and you’ll be up and running in minutes.
If you’re unsure though, just do a quick Google search to see if your device is compatible.
How Zapme works
Zapme is an application downloaded onto your phone that enhances the way you can utilise your eSim.
With our powerful, yet simple interface, you can manage all your numbers, data, etc. natively inside the app, conveniently in one place.
You’ll have everything you need to get the most out of your device – industry-leading tech at the forefront of innovation.
Conclusion
The end days of the physical SIM card are near, with eSims the bright, shiny, flexible new solution for the future.
If you haven’t yet joined the revolution, what are you waiting for!
