ESIM technology as an additional iPhone protection

Od kilku dni Orange oferuje swoim klientom - posiadającym tegoroczne iPhone'y - możliwość korzystania z wirtualnej karty SIM, zwanej inaczej eSIM.

Thanks to this, these people can have two SIM cards active in their smartphone at the same time - one physical, the other virtual.The advantage of this solution is that you do not need to carry a second device with you.

Probably hardly anyone is aware of the fact that adding an ESIM card also increases iPhone safety.It sounds a bit high -flying.Let's consider three cases.

In the first situation, Marek loses his iPhone.However, he had the service on the Find my iPhone, so that he could track the phone because the device had active access to the network.

A similar situation to the above, but before Marek reached his device, the dishonest finder decided to keep the equipment for himself.He took out the physical SIM card, so Marek lost the opportunity to find an iPhone.Of course, we skip the aspect that the phone for the thief is useless.

Last case - Marek has two SIM cards on his phone.One physical, the other virtual.The phone was stolen, the thief decided to remove the physical SIM card so that you could not track the phone.However, thanks to the fact that Marek has previously added an ESIM card, he can still track his phone, because it has access to the network, despite the fact that the physical card has been removed.

Of course, remember that this solution is not perfect, because it is enough that the thief turns off the phone, then the device will lose "contact with the world".However, it is very likely that this person finally decides to start the smartphone.If the legitimate owner of the iPhone did not have a PIN enabled to activate the ESIM card, then the phone will automatically connect to the network and maybe you can track it.

It is therefore worth considering buying, for example, prepaid cards and uploading it to the phone in the event that we only use the physical SIM card.If you decide to do so, remember not to set the PIN for the SIM card.You should also have the option to secure the device with the code.
