Before using any data asset, the security of use and the convenience of transfer should be considered. In the field of eSIM writing cards, the escape of 5ber has made ordinary users more aware of this.
From the time 5ber ran away at the end of last year to the time I bought the pixel 9, I once thought that foreign phones that support eSIM functions are the best choice. However, the ability of a single phone model to handle operators in different countries is also limited. This is not only reflected in the applicability of communication technology standards, but also closely related to the functions of the phone.
For example, in the "talkatone registration tutorial", iPhone has two ways to solve the residential IP, while Android phones can only "power bricks fly". In addition, if you change your phone frequently, the circulation of eSIM phone numbers in different phones is also a big problem. Some operators either limit the number of free writes or directly charge for secondary writes. It is far less simple than inserting and removing the eSIM card.
So there was my second attempt to write eSIM cards: Xesim

1. Application scenarios and services
In fact, in many of my tutorials, I will use the eSIM function of the mobile phone. For example:
1. Get an overseas mobile phone number through eSIM to receive text messages, make calls, register accounts and obtain a clean residential IP
Talkatone: Get a US mobile number for $1
Helium: 0 monthly rent for a US physical account
Eskimo: Sign up and get 500G global traffic (pure Singapore residential IP, see talkatone tutorial)
2. Get a U.S. mobile number through express delivery for port-in and buy a short-term contract phone at a low price
Buy Pixel 9 for $299
Buy iPhone 13 for $165
…
Maybe you don't understand this. Let me give you a simple example: if you have a mobile phone that supports eSIM, you can register Helium for free and get a US mobile number. You can use it to verify your US Google account for free, and then use this US Google account to apply for the Google One Education offer and get 15 months of Google One AI. If you need to apply for a US community college education email to pass the verification, this US mobile number can well solve the requirement of SMS verification during the registration process.
You see, this is a closed loop. The 15-month Google One AI version is worth at least $300, and the Google account verification fee on the code receiving platform has risen to $2 per time.
If you think my tutorial can help you save some money, then eSIM will be a necessity.
2. The usability and usability of eSIM
If you want to use and make good use of the eSIM function, you must also answer the questions that everyone is concerned about at the beginning of the article.
First of all, there is the issue of the versatility of this type of eSIM writing card.
eSIM technology follows a series of specifications set by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), especially Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) technology, which ensures global interoperability and the convenience of users to remotely manage mobile network subscriptions. This standardization is the premise for the widespread application and compatibility of eSIM technology.
Currently, common eSIM writing cards on the market, such as Xesim, all follow the general standards of GSMA, but when it comes to specific operators in specific countries, it depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, most of them support it.
Secondly, can the iPhone directly write the eSIM phone number?
There is a common situation in this type of eSIM writing card: in terms of managing eSIM mobile phone numbers, there is usually only an APP on the Android side. Compared with 5ber, Xesim has a more convenient advantage. In addition to being able to directly switch the installed mobile phone number through STK, you can also manually activate a new eSIM mobile phone number.
When we receive the eSIM configuration file email, we can manually activate it on the iPhone. [See below for specific operations]
Finally, use a card reader to address potential risks
For data security reasons, if the eSIM brand is unable to provide services for some reason, you can also purchase a smart card reader that supports the PC/SC protocol on 1688 to read and manage the mobile phone number on the eSIM card.
I also bought one, but due to the problem with the driver and the product itself, I was not able to successfully read the data on 5ber and XeSIM. However, there are many successful cases online. I will share them after I succeed. In short, there is a solution even if you have an eSIM card.
In addition, let's talk about some online gossip. Some people think that "Xesim and 5ber are two brands and one team." As an ignorant bystander, I will not participate. I have made it very clear about the risks and remedial measures of using such products. The products in this industry are actually similar, so you can just use the ones you like. Friends who have a higher threshold for data security prevention and control can directly use eSIM phones instead.
3. Xesim simple operation
Next, I will briefly go over the process of writing and switching mobile phone numbers on XeSIM.
1. Activate and write mobile phone number
The Xesim writing card is very easy to use. Just insert it into the SIM card slot of your mobile phone and scan the eSIM QR code to complete the entire process of writing the mobile phone number. During the operation, there are a few points to note:
(1) Some mobile phones may not be able to recognize the SIM2 card slot. It is recommended to insert it in the SIM1 card slot as much as possible.
(2) Scanning the eSIM QR code requires a network connection
2. Simple speed test
Let's take a quick look at the speed after writing the data into the data card. You can register: Eskimo, new users will be given 500M of international roaming data for free. If you are in China, the IP is a pure Singapore residential IP, which can be used to register various applications, such as Talkatone.

Since I had already written Eskimo to 5ber, I changed to an eSIM service provider, also with a Singapore residential IP, and the speed was OK:
3. iPhone Switch
Since products like eSIM card writing often do not have iOS apps, number activation and switching are often inconvenient. For example, 5ber can only switch numbers on the iPhone, and cannot directly write a new eSIM phone number. But Xesim can solve this problem through the SIM STK application.
Path: Settings - Cellular Network - SIM Card Application
Select: Xesim
eSIM List: Switch mobile phone number
Download eSIM: Manually activate your phone number
Activation method and filling format:
M-DP+ Address: mobile.rsp.com
Activation Code: 1729-3278-6AF5-22F3
Format after splicing: LPA:1$mobile.rsp.com$1729-3278-6AF5-22F3
4. Limited time events
Xesim official website occasionally has limited-time promotions. For example: until May 31, fill in:xesim2505, you can get 1G global traffic. Because this promotion is only for 7 days and cannot be combined with other promotions, I think it is better to register Eskimo and get 500M global traffic for two years. Because many eSIM service providers have activities that give 500M traffic for 7 days to new users.
This activity is more suitable for users who have short-term cross-border and multi-country traffic needs, such as business or tourist vacationers who travel frequently.

Well, the above is all about eSIM writing card

💡 Actually, I have been thinking about this series more than a year ago. Initially, it was based on the registration tutorials for Netflix, Disney Plus and low-cost Google accounts, which required the use of many online network tools, including a clean network environment, residential IP, email, SMS code receiving platform, etc., and gradually extended to overseas mobile phone numbers, eSIM writing cards, overseas bank cards, forwarding companies, private mailboxes, etc.Before this, I have written some of them. But as time goes by, things change, and my cognition has changed after long-term use, so I want to organize them systematically, and some commonly used tools will be updated regularly, so there is this series of "Preferred Tools for Overseas Use"."First choice" is not the first or the best, but the tool that I think of first, use first, and am willing to use all the time. "It" may also have various problems, but I only choose one that solves the "application pain point". It's OK if it works, and it's better if it's easy to use.I hope this series can help you who are dealing with related scenarios, so that you can avoid detours and pay less "tuition fees".I will post it on my blog (playfulsoul.net) This series is updated regularly. If you see it from other platforms, you can move here to view the latest content.
