MTN Nigeria recently launched embedded Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIM) services on the network as part of its drive to lead digital transformation, and improve customer experience and quality of service.
MTN Nigeria has already received approval from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to conduct the trial which is expected to run for a year.
Unlike the physical SIM, you do not need to insert an eSIM into your phone as it is already built into your smartphone, device, or wearable.
You simply activate the eSIM with your account profile and you are ready to enjoy all the services you normally would with a physical SIM.
Benefits of eSIM
- e-SIMs allow you to have more than one phone number associated with your smart device. They are particularly useful for people who want to manage personal and business lines.
- The possibility of losing or damaging your SIM is reduced because it is built into your device.
- You no longer have to deal with cutting SIM cards or finding adapters.
- It is extremely convenient for frequent travelers, making it easier to switch between network operators.
How to activate an eSIM
The eSIM trial will run for one year and is open on a first come first served basis to a limited number of subscribers who own compatible devices including Pixel 3, 3 XL, Pixel 4, 4 XL, iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, XS Max, iPhone XR, and Samsung S20 Series.
You’ll need to visit any of our MTN stores. Customer care agents will check your device for eligibility and walk you through the setup process.
