Mobile operator Three UK<\/a> still appears to be slowly dragging its feet over the proposed addition of eSIM support to their 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> network, which is despite last December pledging to launch customer trials “within the next few months<\/em>.” We’re still waiting, but it may now launch around the start of autumn.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Traditional SIM<\/strong> (Subscriber Identity Module) cards are the tiny chips that authenticate your identity to a mobile operator, usually as soon as you slide one into a new mobile phone or other supporting device. SIM cards can also store a basic list of your contacts, although online contact lists have largely superseded that feature.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a growing number of new Smartphones are now shipping with eSIM<\/strong> technology, which essentially embeds an electronic SIM into your phone and makes it easier to switch between carriers via multiple account support (i.e. no more waiting for new SIM cards to arrive or fiddling with different ones when trying to change network).<\/p>\n

Rival operators including O2<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and EE<\/a> have had this feature for a while, albeit with varying different levels of support (i.e. it’s sometimes only enabled for selected devices). Under the original plan Three UK<\/a> signalled that they’d add support by “autumn 2019<\/em>,” but it didn’t materialise. After some prodding by ISPreview.co.uk the operator told us in December 2019 that they’d be “trialling eSIMs within the next few months<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Fast forward over 7 months and our inbox has once again begun receiving a steady stream of requests for an update from frustrated customers. Sadly a spokesperson for Three UK<\/a> duly informed us that there was “no update on eSims at the moment,<\/em>” which is despite this their social media accounts giving out a little bit more detail to some users (we’re unsure why they couldn’t just give this to us too but.. hay ho..).<\/p>\n

The operator has, over the past couple of weeks, confirmed to some customers that “we’re still working on it … but we don’t have an actual date<\/em>.” However, they told another customer something different a couple of days later (last Friday): “Unfortunately, due to coronavirus, we’ve had to delay our trials, which were due to take place in March. This is now likely to move out to July with launch in September 2020<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Sadly, the operator’s support staff have said their trial is “not something you can volunteer to participate in<\/em>” and they remain coy on whether or not their implementation will work with the Apple Watch. “We’re aiming for a wider ‘eSIM for phone’ release later in the year<\/em>,” said the operator to another customer.<\/p>\n

Mind you customers have been told by Three UK that eSIM support is coming “soon<\/em>” since.. what must now feel like the dawn of time. Take all of this with a pinch of salt and hopefully we won’t be back here again in December 2020 to mark off yet another missed year for launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
