When you want to listen to some music these days you do not go out and buy a plastic CD – you download your music from the Internet.

Likewise when you want to watch a movie, you use an online service like Netflix.

Until now you, in order to get mobile service you have had to get hold of a plastic SIM card and use a tool to insert it into your phone. This is no longer the case with the arrival of phones that have eSIM chips already inside them. Instead you can purchase mobile service on this web site and download the service into your phone. However you must have a modern handset and currently this means either an iPhone XS/XR/XS Max or Google Pixel 3. In addition the latest iPads and Microsoft Surfaces are fitted with eSIMs.

This is the future!
