IoT eSIM
Global IoT eSIM
for smart businesses
No matter which eSIM you need
we have you covered
Consumer eSIM
The SIM for the next generation of connected consumer devices. Consumer eSIM makes it easier to extend mobile connectivity to devices such as tables, smart watches, pet- and kid trackers, fitness bands, portable health systems and various other devices.
IoT eSIM
The GSMA eSIM specification provides a standard mechanism for the remote provisioning and management of IoT SIM profiles “over the air”. Power your IoT devices and cellular modules with M2M eSIM.
eSIM profiles
Our Consumer eSIM and IoT eSIM come with pre-loaded SIM profiles with best performance in different regions. We offer different profiles for Europe, North America, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The main objective using eSIM technology is to localize the SIM card. With the IoT eSIM we offer you SIM profile downloads over-the-air for your remote IoT devices.
The eSIM is independent from the physical IoT SIM card. You can choose between any available SIM form-factor:
- Regular SIM 2FF / 3FF / 4FF
- Sim chips MFF2
- Business or industrial grade
Is IoT eSIM right for you?
But do you even need it
Recognizing the buzz surrounding eSIM, we experience that the majority of customer discussions lead to the adoption of a standard IoT SIM card.

FAQs
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM or in the GSMAÂ referred as eUICC that enables to program different SIM profiles over-the-air and hence, swap the mobile network provider. You can choose one telecom operator today, and may move your entire SIM base to another tomorrow, without the need to change physical SIM cards.
Can I swap my legacy SIM to an eSIM?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Even though the form-factors of both SIM types are the same, they have different operating systems running on them. You cannot update a legacy SIM over-the-air with a new SIM profile.
Can I choose any network profile on my eSIM?
No, you cannot. You need to work with an connectivity aggregator like Freeeway who puts together a pool of different mobile network profiles to choose from.
What is the difference between Consumer and IoT eSIM standards?
The consumer eSIM standard is built for consumer devices such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops. In that standard, the eSIM Profile download is initiated by the End-User.
In contrast, the IoT eSIM standard is made for IoT devices. Currently it is most used in the automotive industry. In the IoT eSIM standard, the eSIM profile download is initiated by the IoT device and is done via over-the-air processes.
What is a bootstrap provider?
When you equip an IoT device with a eSIM, it needs to be able to access any mobile network when it starts for the very first time. The mobile network provider that is used in this case, is referred as the boostrap provider in an eSIM context.
