blog

 

 

Whenever a new technology emerges, one of the first questions people ask is: is it safe? With eSIMs, the answer is a confident yes. In fact, eSIMs can be even more secure than traditional SIM cards.

Here’s why — and how Roamvy ensures your privacy and safety are always protected.

 

 

Why eSIMs Are Secure

  • Built into your device
    • Can’t be lost, stolen, or cloned as easily.
    • Protected by your phone’s hardware-level security.
  • Encrypted activation
    • Profiles are delivered through secure, encrypted channels.
    • Hackers can’t intercept or duplicate your eSIM like a physical SIM swap.
  • Less SIM-swap fraud
    • SIM swap scams mostly target physical SIMs.
    • eSIMs make this type of fraud far less likely.

 

 

Privacy Benefits of eSIMs

  • No airport kiosks: Buy online, no unnecessary ID sharing abroad.
  • Instant setup: Activate in minutes without third-party involvement.
  • Full control: Delete or disable eSIMs anytime from your phone.

Common Myths About eSIM Security

“eSIMs are easier to hack.”
❌ False. eSIMs use the same standards as physical SIMs, often safer.

 

“If I delete my eSIM, someone else can use it.”
❌ False. Deleted eSIMs stay tied to your account.

 

“eSIMs track me more than regular SIMs.”
❌ False. Your phone’s location tracking doesn’t change with an eSIM.

 

 

FAQs
