- rSIM is a new SIM tech that lets you pack a backup SIM in your SIM card.
- It claims to test your device’s connection directly from the SIM itself and switches providers automatically during disruptions.
- This should theoretically help maintain always-on connectivity.
We don’t think about the SIM inside our phone that often, but it inarguably has some of the most critical connectivity functions to serve. Without a SIM, your phone will not connect to a network, and you will be left without 4G, 5G, calling and texting features. That’s one reason why many people prefer using dual-SIM phones, as they can stay connected through the second network if the first one goes down. If that has been your concern, a new SIM tech lets you use one SIM card to pack in two SIMs so that you retain always-on connectivity.
CSL Group has announced the new “rSIM” tech, short for Resilient SIM. rSIM claims to use patented tech to check its own network connectivity and switch providers automatically if and when disruptions happen. rSIM stores two independent mobile operator profiles on a single SIM card, so you always have a backup telecom connection with you. Deutsche Telekom IoT and Tele2 IoT have been announced as rSIM’s first connectivity partners.
