Alternative to 5ber — 9esim, EIOTCLUB

5ber esim has been sold out for the past week due to supply constraints. Here we go over two alternatives that may be better than the original!

**5ber is Out of Stock**

The 5ber eSIM adapter has become a popular choice for users looking to add eSIM functionality to devices with only physical SIM slots. However, due to recent supply constraints it is sold out! This article explores two options that may be suitable replacements, or even improvements upon the 5ber.eSIM.

**9eSIM: The open-source choice**

The 9eSIM adapter takes a different approach to esim adapters by allowing open source software and enabling the adapter to be used without additional fees, or locking you into paying for additional eSim profile downloads.

Unlike 5ber, the 9eSIM doesn’t require the Android device to have write permissions to the eUICC chip (also known as OMAPI). This expands the compatibility to even older devices, as well as iPhones through the use of a sim card reader.

The 9esim comes in two versions. 9esim V2 (green), and the 9esim V3 (Red) Both versions support up to 50 eSim profiles storage simultaneously with unlimited profile downloads. The main difference is that the 9esim V3 is supports the STK menu.

This means that Apple users can also switch between saved eSim card profiles through the STK menu built into iPhone settings without an additional app, and without using the card reader. STK = SIM Application Toolkit, this is a feature built into the iPhone settings menu.

Both versions can be purchased as a standalone card, or as a part of a set with a USB card reader.
