SEOUL: If you though that Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 are enough, then you are wrong as Samsung eyeing the introduce entire new features with Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Galaxy Note 6.
Financial Times reports that one of your most annoying problems is about to disappear – namely, switching SIM cards.
Samsung is part of a new movement to replace existing SIM cards with an embedded SIM card (known also as an e-SIM) that need not be replaced when switching from one carrier to the next.
Currently, if you want to switch from AT&T to T-Mobile in the US, you’d have to request a new SIM card from the new carrier and pay $9.99 or a reduced price (sometimes 99 cents) to get a new SIM card with which to activate the new phone.
The e-SIM will allow consumers more choice, which is what consumers want when their money is involved. Samsung’s adoption of the e-SIM for its mobile devices will allow consumers to be happier with their carrier choices as well as the product.
Manufacturers that remain behind the times and choose not to go with the e-SIM card will be left behind. So far, T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom, AT&T, Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone, and others have agreed to push this technological program forward.
