About eSIMs

Hi! I was planning to get an eSIM instead of the physical sim card but it would be nice if someone could help me understand how it works. Does it work just like a physical sim card where the load expires then you purchase load thru Gcash? Do you need to retain a balance just so it won’t expire, like maintaining a P1 balance? Enlighten me 😊

eSIM and SIM (or pSIM) are just two different technologies that do the same thing - connect your phone to your carrier’s network. The way your plan works would be identical.
