As China’s three major carriers launch eSIM mobile services nationwide, China Telecom announced that domestic manufacturers including Huawei and Oppo will soon roll out eSIM-enabled smartphones. On Monday, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China approved China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom to begin offering eSIM phone services, allowing users to sign up at offline outlets across 31 provinces and municipalities. Huawei’s upcoming Mate 80 series, expected to debut in October, will support eSIM technology, while Oppo plans to release its first eSIM models by the end of the year. The adoption of eSIM technology is expected to drive the evolution of mobile services toward a “card-free, cross-device connected” ecosystem. [TechNode reporting]
