Unlike, traditional SIM cards, it works within the device and is useful for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) which is direct communication between devices using any communications channel, including wired and wireless mediums.

As the technology is still new to Nepal, it will take time for telcos to add support to more devices however the process shouldn’t take long. Major flagship phones and other devices come with eSIM support and thankfully the number is only growing in the current days.

For now, eSIM is supported in Apple devices such as iPhone XS, XR, 11, 12, 13 series, iPhone 14, and the latest iPhone 15 series. Additionally, the iPhone SE 2 (2020), and SE 3 (2022) have the capability to support the virtual SIM profile.

Likewise, the iPad series from 3rd Gen to the present, and the Apple Watch Series since 3, have the support of an eSIM. The US and Canada variants of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series have support for two active eSIMs.

Similarly, Samsung Galaxy phones like Note 20, S20, S21 & S22 series can run eSIM. The upcoming S23 series will also carry the support. Similarly, Samsung’s Galaxy Fold base model, LTE variant, Fold 3, Fold2 5G, Fold3 5G, Flip3 5G, Flip3 5G Fold, Galaxy Note 20 FE 5G, and Galaxy Note 20FE are also able to use the next-gent eSIM service.

Ncell eSIM will work on some Google Pixel, Huawei, and other phones

Google’s Pixel devices also have eSIM support. Pixel phones like Pixel 4, 5, 6, and the latest Pixel 7 series also have support for eSIMs but these devices haven’t officially entered the Nepalese market yet. But if you still get any of these devices, then you will be able to use an eSIM for your mobile services.

Huawei P40, and P50 Series, Oppo Find X3 Series, Reno 5A, Find X5 Series, and A55s also have eSIM connectivity. If you use a Sony smartphone, then you are also in luck. Sony Experia 1 IV, 5 IV, 10 III Kutem, and 10 IV are compatible with the embedded SIM.

The upcoming iPhones are also going to be eSIMs-only models, as with the current US version of the iPhone 14 series. Further, eSIM technology is the only feasible way to use mobile networks for the Internet of Things (IoT) wearable devices.

Nepal Telecom, Ncell’s direct competitor has already begun the service just some months ago. The eSIM activation is free but customers are required to visit the office in order to activate NTC eSIM. Ncell has provided a rather hassle-free SMS activation service and it won’t incur any charges either.

I am an experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks to 4G and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and the development from the dial-up connection to up to the 2 Gbps fiber broadband internet and their transformative impact in the country. Movie and fintech are my occasional niches.
