According to Etisalat, another great feature of the new e-SIM is the ability for users to choose an international roaming network while travelling outside of the country.
Furthermore, the new e-SIM allows subscribers who use the latest iPhone and Apple devices to connect to their network without having the need for a physical SIM card.

Whether it is for convenience or for the sake of advancing technology, Etisalat is looking to maximize the capabilities of connectivity through the use of the new e-SIM card, which is still in line with establishing the UAE as a global destination, with all of its citizens fully equipped with the tools that are necessary to reach this goal.
