Is eSIM Safe? (Short Answer)
Yes, eSIM is significantly safer than Public WiFi and physical SIM cards.Because the SIM is embedded in your phone's hardware, it cannot be stolen or cloned physically. Furthermore, using an eSIM data plan protects your banking passwords from hackers lurking on open Airport/Hotel WiFi networks.
Stop Using "Free WiFi" at the Airport
The biggest security risk when traveling isn't your SIM card—it's the "Free Cafe WiFi" you connect to. Hackers can easily intercept data on open networks. An eSIM acts like a private, encrypted tunnel for your data.

If Your Phone is Stolen...
Old Physical SIM
If a thief steals your phone, the first thing they do is pop out the SIM card. This instantly kills your signal, making "Find My iPhone" useless. They then throw your SIM in the trash.
eSIM Technology
An eSIM is digital and cannot be removed. Even if the thief steals your phone, the data connection stays active, giving you more time to track its location via GPS.
Is it Safe for Banking Apps?
2FA Codes
With eSIM, you can keep your home SIM active for SMS. This means you still receive One-Time Passwords (OTP) from your bank safely.
No "Cloning"
Old SIM cards could be "cloned" by sophisticated hackers. eSIMs use GSMA-certified encryption keys that are virtually impossible to clone.
Private IP
When you use Ovosim, you browse on a private cellular network, not a public shared router. Your passwords stay between you and the bank.

Common Safety Questions
Can Ovosim see my personal photos?
Absolutely not. An eSIM only provides the data connection (like a utility company). We have no access to your files, photos, messages, or apps on your device.
What if I accidentally delete my eSIM?
Don't worry. Your eSIM plan is linked to your email. If you accidentally delete it, contact support, and we can often help you reinstall or recover the plan.
