The Telecommunications services provider, Airtel Nigeria, has joined other telecom operators to introduce eSIM (embedded SIM) – a digital SIM that enables customers to access the same functionality as someone using a physical SIM.
In a statement made available to media on Tuesday, Airtel explained that the eSIM service is now immediately available on its network just like MTN and 9mobile, who had introduced the service earlier.
Customers who wish to switch their current physical SIM cards for eSIMs will need to ensure they have a compatible device, obtain the required QR code, and be guided through a SIM Swap process by Airtel service personnel.
Airtel said it has developed a simple and flawless process to activate the eSIM service for all its customers just as it believes that the digital SIM will significantly improve the productivity of Nigerians, helping its stakeholders to achieve personal and professional goals.
Commenting on the eSIM, Ag. Chief Commercial Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Femi Oshinlaja, said the software can be activated by any supporting cellular network provider anywhere in the world.
hos word: “The eSIM ensures there’s no loss of data because whatever has been programed into it during the registration phase can be reprogrammed to another cellular network any time.
“It saves a lot of cost which may arise during roaming when one is in another country.”
According to Airtel, the eSIM offers several benefits over traditional SIM cards as it is quick and simple to set up online.
