What is an Egypt eSim? A simple explanation for beginners

eSim, short for embedded SIM, is a modern technology that allows mobile devices to connect to cellular networks without needing a physical SIM card. This digital SIM technology is built into the device during manufacturing and can be programmed to choose a network provider.
