Soft SIM technology is a new technology that can be applied to terminals. By using the soft SIM technology, users can get rid of the constraints of the hard SIM card and the contracting operator, and download and use the SIM information of another carrier at any time to access the carrier's network. A major application scenario of the technology is an international roaming scenario. When a user arrives abroad, the SIM card of the local carrier is not required to be purchased, and the SIM card in the mobile phone is not required to be replaced by the SIM information of the roaming country operator through the soft SIM technology.
