eSIMs are embedded SIM cards that are built into a device, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. This makes it easier to switch carriers, as you can simply download a new eSIM profile from the carrier’s website or app. eSIMs are also more durable than physical SIM cards, as they are less likely to be damaged if your device is dropped or wet.
Airtel Uganda is the first telecom company in Uganda to offer eSIMs. The company has said that it is committed to providing its customers with the latest technology and that eSIMs are a key part of this commitment.
Airtel Uganda’s partnership with Transtel Uganda will make it easier for customers to get their hands on eSIM-enabled devices. Transtel Uganda has a wide network of stores across Uganda, so customers will be able to find an eSIM-enabled device near them.
Airtel Uganda’s move to offer eSIMs is a positive development for the telecom industry in Uganda. eSIMs offer many benefits over physical SIM cards, and they are becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Airtel Uganda’s decision to offer eSIMs is a sign that the company is committed to providing its customers with the best possible service.
Here are some of the benefits of eSIMs:
- Easier to switch carriers: As mentioned earlier, eSIMs make it easier to switch carriers, as you can simply download a new eSIM profile from the carrier’s website or app. This can save you money, as you can switch to a carrier that offers a better deal.
- More durable: eSIMs are more durable than physical SIM cards, as they are less likely to be damaged if your device is dropped or wet. This means that you are less likely to have to replace your SIM card if your device is damaged.
- More space: eSIMs take up less space than physical SIM cards, which means that you can have more space for other components in your device. This can lead to a thinner and lighter device.
Transtel eSIM-enabled devices are also available to Airtel Uganda subscribers on device financing under their companies. Various companies can contact Transtel and arrange to provide these devices to their employees. The eSIM-enabled models include Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 plus, iPhone Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and use them while paying installments. Currently, eSIMs are available at all Airtel shops in Uganda and customers can access them with their valid national IDs.
