China Unicom announced that it has officially launched the “eSIM No.1 Dual Terminal†business in six cities including Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou and Changsha. Insiders pointed out that the development of "eSIM No. 1 Multi-Terminal" means that the wearable device can share the number with the user's mobile phone, and the mobile phone is no longer the only callable device; especially for "fruit powder", it can call independently. The Apple Watch is finally here.
Users will not need to insert a "physical" SIM cardThe eSIM card, also known as the embedded SIM card, simply embeds the traditional SIM card directly into the device chip instead of being added as a separate removable component. The user does not need to insert the "physical" SIM card as it is now. .
Xiang Ligang, a senior expert in the communications industry, told the reporters of Beiqing Daily that the earliest SIM cards were like bank cards. After the evolution of generations, they have now achieved the size of a fingernail. The eSIM card is not a physical card, and it directly writes information such as a card number to a device such as a mobile phone. “Without a physical card, one of the most intuitive benefits that users can bring is that the phone can be further thinned and improved to enhance the user experience.â€
Xiang Ligang pointed out that another major advantage of eSIM cards is that users are more convenient to use. "For example, if a user now uses dual card dual standby, if you want to use the third one, you can't install it in one device at the same time, and the future eSIM card can directly write the card number or identification code in the mobile phone," he explained further. It is pointed out that, for example, a US card, a British card, or a card in another region can be switched at any time, so it is certainly more convenient from the perspective of user use.
According to the relevant staff of China Unicom, the eSIM No. 1 multi-terminal service launched by the user only needs to add an eSIM affiliated smart device to enable the mobile terminal to share a phone number and package resources with the affiliate terminal to realize independent cellular mobile communication. In layman's terms, when the main number is called, the two terminals will vibrate at the same time. Any terminal can make a call, and you can keep the connection at any time without carrying a mobile phone.
China Unicom said that Apple's third-generation smart watch product Apple? Watch? Series? 3? (GPS?+?cellular network) became the first terminal product to support this service.
According to reports, the first two generations of Apple Watch must be connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth to make calls and receive different information. Users of this watch can independently access the carrier mobile cellular network by simply opening the watch communication service through the iPhone. Communication functions such as telephone and receiving information. You don't need to carry a mobile phone when you go out or exercise. The data recorded by the watch can be synchronized to the mobile phone in real time.
Six cities can go directly to the business hallYesterday, China Unicom announced through official website official micro-release news that from now on, users in six cities in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou and Changsha can go directly to the business hall to handle the business and open a new experience of intelligent communication.
It is worth mentioning that China Unicom said that from now until December 31, 2018, users who have opened the new business in Unicom can enjoy the 12-month eSIM sub-card usage fee reduction from activation.
China Unicom said that as an innovative communication product for the era of consumer Internet, the launch of “eSIM No.1 Dual Terminal†broke the shackles of mobile phones as the sole mobile communication carrier, effectively solving the pain points of users for full-time and ubiquitous communication. Demand, for multi-scene calls and smart applications. "If the mobile phone itself limits our imagination of the connected life in the 'all-connected' era, then the 'eSIM No. 1 dual terminal' business opens the imagination for us," said the source.
There will be more wearable devices that can make callsProfessionals point out that eSIM cards allow users to more flexibly choose carrier packages, and even change carriers at any time without having to unlock devices or purchase new devices. Not only that, but the emergence of eSIM also means that the era of using only mobile phones for Internet access and voice calls is coming to an end. In the future, there will be more wearable smart devices to achieve functional independence. Internet and telephone voice will no longer be exclusive to mobile phones. . And this time Unicom to carry Apple? Watch launched the No. 1 dual terminal, and analyzed that it would be groundbreaking for eSIM marketing.
Xiang Ligang believes that from the trend point of view, eSIM will replace the SIM card in the future, but it still needs a considerable process and time to widen the distance. He pointed out that strictly speaking, the partial promotion of Unicom's No. 1 dual terminal is not a wide-ranging eSIM application, and it has a pilot meaning. At the same time, it is also limited to the use of a small number of devices.
What are the challenges for operators when the wide spread of eSIM cards? Xiang Ligang pointed out that the eSIM card does not have a physical card. If the user's identification is only relying on the code, how to confirm the security of the secured account is a problem; in addition, including the service and management of the operator to the user, such as how the system identifies the account. And equipment, business hall how to write cards, change cards, the future will be different from the present.
