Recently, some netizens left a message on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, saying that the use of eSIM cards has recently caused a greater discussion. Is there any promotion plan for eSIM mobile phone cards in my country?
In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology replied, “Our Ministry attaches great importance to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and insists on actively promoting the application and promotion of new technologies and equipment on the basis of ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of users and information security.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that at present, our Ministry is organizing relevant units to study and promote the application of eSIM technology in tablet computers, portable computers and smart phone devices, and expand the application scope of eSIM technology when conditions are ripe.
It is understood that the full name of eSIM is Embedded-SIM. Unlike traditional pluggable SIM cards, eSIM is directly embedded on the device chip without inserting a physical SIM card.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has clarified that eSIM technology application services in the Internet of Things and other fields are limited to the opening of data services and related directional voice and directional SMS services.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires that the company should clearly indicate the tariff, service content and related risks in the service contract, clarify the rights and responsibilities of users, and fulfill the obligation of reminding to effectively provide relevant user services.
