Bye Bye SIM, hello integrated chips – Mobile World Congress 2016

Post by asimd17 »

It's a reality. In just a few months we will be saying goodbye to the SIM cards in our smartphones. And that is causing a headache for the various operators.

With the end of the chip, the door is opened to many new features that have been requested for a long time. To start with, this will facilitate portability, one of the most tedious things for those who want to change teleco and get one of the promotions of the competition .


Since the telephone market fusion data began to open the door to low-cost companies, this has been one of the great struggles between companies, to gain the loyalty of a customer who saw in advertising how the rates were increasingly lowered in other companies while they remained constant in their terminal. There was a time when having been with the company for years did not give you an advantage over new ones and that made practically the majority of users decide to change every time their contract expired.

Another of the great advantages that are coming in the connectivity sector is the acclaimed end of roaming, something that was detrimental, above all, to those who wanted or needed to continue to be connected outside the borders. Of course, this has been one of the best pieces of news that users have heard in recent months.

But what will this latest link between operator and customer, based on the removable SIM card, lead to?

Well, it seems that what will be imposed is a small chip that will come in mobile terminals from the factory and that will work through a kind of electronic SIM, which will allow the user to have a much faster experience. Why? Because the main operators will be loaded by default, although only one can be active at any given time.

Although from what we know, this change could have been carried out some time ago because technology already allowed it, the truth is that it has been delayed due to the reluctance of operators. With this step, which is assumed to arrive at smartphone level at the end of the year, many of the procedures that required waiting for the physical SIM will be done in a matter of minutes.
