Nigerians can now enjoy a “SIM-less” mobile experience as Globacom introduces its e-SIM technology.
The company announced that customers activating a new e-SIM will receive a bonus of 5GB of data upon purchasing a data plan worth ₦1,500 or more.
An e-SIM (embedded SIM) is a digital chip built directly into smartphones and wearable devices, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card.
This innovation benefits users with phones that lack space for multiple SIM cards and allows easy switching between numbers without changing physical SIMs.
Globacom disclosed that e-SIMs offer enhanced security, making them harder to remove from devices compared to traditional SIM cards.
Additionally, they are eco-friendly, reducing plastic waste.
The company stated that high-net-worth individuals, frequent travellers, and business customers would find the e-SIM particularly useful.
To check if a device is compatible, customers can dial *#06#—if an EID number appears, the phone supports e-SIM.
Activation can be done at any Gloworld shop or Glo Dealer outlet in just a few minutes.
With this latest technology, Glo reaffirms its commitment to providing seamless, future-ready telecommunications services in Nigeria.
