What is an IoT eSIM?
An IoT eSIM is a SIM built for connected devices rather than phones. It comes as a plastic card or a chip soldered onto the circuit board. It can hold more than one operator profile and download new ones over the air. A device can therefore change network for better coverage, a lower rate or local rules without anyone opening it.
Zetexa's IoT eSIM adds a partner layer on top. You can fit it in your own devices, or resell it to your customers under your brand, from the same platform that already powers travel and mobile products for 2,000+ B2B partners.
Who it's for
Device makers: Ship one SIM in every product and every market, and turn connectivity into recurring revenue.
IoT platforms and SaaS: Add connectivity to your platform so customers buy devices, software and data from you.
MVNOs and telcos: Launch an IoT line beside your consumer plans, without building a new core network.
Payment and POS providers: Keep card terminals online with automatic failover between networks.
Fleet and logistics: Track vehicles, trailers and containers across borders on one SIM.
System integrators: Offer managed connectivity as part of every project you deliver.
How it works
- 1
Choose your SIM and plan: Pick the form factor, coverage and data pool for your devices.
- 2
Fit it at the factory: One SKU for every market, so there is no regional stock to manage.
- 3
Devices connect on first power-up: No pre-activation country by country.
- 4
Manage the fleet from one place: Activate, suspend, set data limits and track usage by API or dashboard.
- 5
Change networks over the air: Push a local profile where roaming is restricted, or move to a better rate.
What you get
Several networks in every country
Devices pick the strongest network and fail over automatically if one drops.
LTE-M and NB-IoT
Low-power networks for battery devices, plus 2G to 5G where devices need them.
Over-the-air profile switching
Change operator without changing hardware.
Private networking
Private APN and VPN, so device traffic never crosses the public internet.
API and webhooks
Provision, suspend and monitor every SIM from your own systems.
Usage controls and alerts
Data caps, usage thresholds and alerts for unusual traffic, per SIM or per group.
Pooled data
Share one data allowance across your fleet, so a busy device doesn't run out.
SMS for device commands
Send and receive SMS to wake, configure or reset devices.
SIM security
IMEI lock ties each SIM to its device, so a stolen SIM can't be used elsewhere.
White-label portal
Your customers manage their SIMs in a portal with your brand on it.
SGP.32, SGP.02 and SGP.22 explained
The GSMA has published three eSIM standards. SGP.22 is for phones and other devices with a screen. SGP.02 was the first standard for machines, but it ties the SIM to one management platform when it is made, so changing provider is hard. SGP.32 is the new IoT standard. It lets you add or switch operator profiles from any compatible manager, with no SMS needed, so it works on low-power networks such as NB-IoT too.
The three standards side by side
| SGP.22 | SGP.02 | SGP.32 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Phones, tablets, watches | Machines (M2M) | IoT devices |
| Who changes the profile | The user, with a QR code or app | The operator's platform | You, from your own platform or ours |
| Needs a screen or user | Yes | No | No |
| Provider lock-in | Low | High: tied to one platform at manufacture | Low |
| Works on NB-IoT | Not designed for it | Limited (relies on SMS) | Yes |
Do you need SGP.32 yet?
Not always. If your devices stay in one region and your current network covers them well, a standard IoT SIM may be enough. SGP.32 pays off when devices ship to many countries, stay in the field for years, or go to markets that block permanent roaming. SGP.32 needs SGP.32-capable SIMs and modules: existing SGP.02 devices can't be upgraded. Our team can tell you which option fits your fleet.
Countries that restrict permanent roaming
Many countries don't let a foreign SIM stay on their networks for good. Others allow it only for a set period. A global SIM that ignores these rules can be blocked after a few months.
Where it applies: Brazil, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, China, Egypt and Nigeria restrict or ban permanent roaming. Operators in the USA, Canada and Australia limit how long a foreign SIM can stay.
Local licences: Zetexa holds telecom licences in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, and a TDRA SIM trading licence in the UAE.
Before you ship: Tell us where your devices will go, and we'll confirm the right setup for each country.

IoT eSIM questions
It's a SIM built for connected devices rather than phones. It can hold more than one operator profile and download new ones over the air, so a device can change network without anyone touching it.
A standard IoT SIM is tied to the operator that issued it. An IoT eSIM can download profiles from other operators over the air, so you can change network for coverage, cost or local rules without swapping the SIM.
It's the GSMA's eSIM standard for IoT devices. It lets you manage operator profiles from a central platform without SMS or a user, and it avoids being locked to one provider's platform.
Yes. SGP.32 needs SGP.32-capable SIMs and modules. Existing SGP.02 devices can't be upgraded, so most fleets will run both for some years.
Yes, on eSIMs that support remote profile switching. You push the new profile over the air and the device moves to it.
A multi-IMSI SIM carries several network identities on one profile and picks the best one for each location. It helps with coverage and with countries that limit roaming.
Any cellular module that supports the SIM form factor you choose. Over-the-air switching needs a module that supports the relevant eSIM standard.
Yes. You can bundle connectivity into your devices or platform, set your own prices and give customers a portal with your brand on it.
