# Sim

A SIM is a unique card that identifies itself to a specific mobile network and provides voice, text, and data connectivity to a user’s device. There are two types of available SIMs: eSIM and pSIM. eSIMs can be activated and installed instantly on any eSIM compatible device, pSIMs (physical SIMs) must be provided to the user or installed into the device beforehand.
