Your SIM Card May Disappear Soon by oyewolestephen(m): 7:28am On Jul 17, 2015
Your SIM card may
disappear soon; thanks to
virtual SIM by Apple and
Samsung: ReportOur very own SIM
card may soon
disappear as we
speak. Companies
like Apple and
Samsung are in
discussions with
mobile carriers to
help develop an ‘e-
SIM’ via which
consumers will have
the ability to switch
carriers without
getting a new card.
This implies that
swapping SIMs to
switch phones may
soon be long gone as
everything would be
done via an interface
on the device.
According to a report
by 9to5mac, mobile
providers which are
currently in the talks
are said to include
AT&T, T-Mobile US
parent company
Deutsche Telekom,
Vodafone, Orange,
Etisalat, Hutchison
Whampoa and
Telefónica. The group
working on this
development hopes
to have it rolled out
some time in 2016.
In the past, Apple
debuted their own
SIM cards as well
which allowed users
to choose between
different cell carriers
and change services
on-the-go. Now, the
new report confirms
that Apple is in talks
with various mobile
carriers to bring this
kind of system to all
devices.
The report points out
that along with
Apple, Samsung is
also having similar
discussions which
means that this kind
of tech might feature
across iPhone and
Android devices.
Interestingly, a
report by the
Financial
Times stated
that the embedded
SIM may not actually
replace the Apple SIM
but could work
alongside it.
In the past,
BlackBerry had
announced its plans
to launch virtual SIM
cards by the end of
the year in India. It
said, “it is in
discussions with
regulatory
authorities and
telecom operators in
the country to launch
its virtual SIM
solution by year-end.
Using the solution,
consumers will be
able to use as many
as nine mobile
numbers through a
single SIM card.”

I really don't think so. The tech companies involved aren't fully American. Apple is but Samsung is Korean. Like you know, they don't like each other perce besides business. It's a welcome development tho.
