Digital solutions provider, Globacom, has launched its e-SIM, allowing customers who activate it and purchase a data plan of N1,500 or more to enjoy an instant bonus of 5GB data bonus.
Globacom explained in a press release in Lagos that e-SIM is a software-based digital chip built directly into smartphones or wearable devices, thus eliminating the need for a physical SIM card for customers.
“Customers on any network can enjoy ‘SIM-less’ freedom with Glo e-SIM as an additional SIM on their phones”, Glo said.
With e-SIM, customers can seamlessly switch between numbers without a physical SIM adding. The e-SIM is convenient for upwardly mobile people who travel frequently.
Globacom disclosed another advantage of e-SIM as security as it is is harder to remove from devices. E-SIM is equally eco-friendly and eliminates plastic waste.
The company posited that it will more adequately cater to high-net-worth individuals and enterprise customers, saying e-SIM underscores its commitment to providing seamless and future-ready services to customers.
A customer seeking to activate the e-SIM can first check the compatibility of the mobile handset by dialling *#06#. If an EID number reflects on the mobile screen, the device is e-SIM compatible.
The customer can thereafter proceed to the nearest Gloworld shop or Glo Dealer outlet to migrate to e-SIM. The process takes only a few minutes and the customer can thereafter begin to enjoy the use of an e-SIM.
