A SIM card enables you to connect to a mobile network and easily switch between different smartphone devices by storing your personal information like contacts, text messages, and data usage.  

Did you know that the first SIM cards were almost the size of current smartphone screens? We’ve come a long way since then. Nowadays, SIM cards are nano-sized and extremely portable. With modern advancements in technology, physical SIMs are also now being replaced by eSIMs— electronic SIMs directly embedded within your device.

Aside from offering greater convenience, switching to an eSIM might even help you save more in the long-term! Here are some reasons why: 

MORE VALUE-FOR-MONEY PLANS

eSIMs let you seamlessly switch between networks, so you don’t need to pay for additional activation or delivery fees. In Singapore, there is a wide range of mobile service providers offering many affordable choices for mobile plans. The newest and latest deals are often bundled with eSIMs, hence eSIM plans tend to provide better value for money as compared to traditional SIM cards. In fact, all of giga’s plans are eSIM enabled!

A CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE WAY TO TRAVEL

eSIMs are great for frequent travellers and jet-setting professionals because one can easily switch between different local carriers. Each device can carry multiple international SIM profiles that can be instantly activated when needed. Say goodbye to hunting for local prepaid SIM cards (and possibly getting overcharged)! With giga, every plan comes with free monthly data roaming that lets you explore 5 popular travel destinations: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea.

LESS LIKELY TO BE DAMAGED AND REPLACED

eSIMs are designed with enhanced security features like data encryption and remote locking to keep your data secure. Your data is also less vulnerable to theft as eSIMs are much harder to be physically removed from your device. This can potentially help you avoid the costs of recovering your personal information if you ever fall victim to such cases.

Traditional SIM cards may also be damaged from regular wear and tear, or sometimes misplaced when they are swapped out during your travels. This might incur replacement fees from carriers, which can add up over time. With eSIMs, you do not need to worry about such issues. Even when a replacement is required, the fees are usually minimal.
