eSIM
Get ready for the next big step in your mobile experience as stc launches eSIM for the very first time in Bahrain.
What is an eSIM?
eSIM is a chip embedded in your device that allows for information to be processed wirelessly. You’ll never need a physical SIM card again.
What’s the difference between a physical SIM and an eSIM?
Physical SIM
A physical SIM is a plastic SIM card that you insert into your device. It comes in a range of sizes: standard, micro and nano.
eSIM
An eSIM is an embedded SIM that’s built into a compatible device. Your unique eSIM profile is then downloaded using a QR code.

Great convenience at a low cost

Never lose your SIM again
No more rummaging in drawers for your tiny SIM card or that pesky little pin that you can never seem to find - the eSIM is safely embedded into your device.
One device, two phone numbers
The eSIM can be used in conjunction with a physical SIM, allowing you to use two numbers at once. It’s perfect for global nomads based in two different countries.
