#Google SIM

SIM cards are essentially what runs our phones. We have seen advances in SIM technology from shrinking its size from full, mini, micro, and nano SIMs to having eSIMs that eliminate the need for a traditional SIM card. An embedded SIM (eSIM) is essentially a SIM baked in your phone’s motherboard that is tied to a carrier, this eliminated the use of traditional SIM cards. However, eSIMs have a few drawbacks that prevent them from being the new normal when it comes to SIMs, most especially the issue of not having dual-SIM support with eSIM chips. But it seems that Google has its solution ready in Android 13 with its Multiple Enable Profiles (MEP). As reported by Esper’s Mishaal Rahman, Google’s MEP allows multiple active SIM profiles in just a single eSIM. This would mean that one single eSIM would be able to connect to 2 different carriers simultaneously. The unique thing about Google’s MEP is that it is purely software-based which would mean that any phone running Android 13 will be compatible with MEP.
