The launch of eSIM is just the latest example of Airtel Uganda’s commitment to delivering innovative platforms and opportunities that make life simple for its customers.

Airtel Uganda’s Head of Data, Devices, and New Product Development, Joweria Zziwa Nabakka, highlighted that the eSIM is planet-friendly, plastic-free, and has zero carbon emissions. Additionally, it allows for an easy extra line, meaning customers can use two numbers without requiring two phones.

The Benefits of eSIM

The eSIM offers several advantages over traditional SIM cards as it is quick and easy to set up online. It is also planet-friendly, being plastic-free and having zero carbon emissions.

With the eSIM, customers can have an additional line without needing a second phone or handset. It also eliminates the fear of damaging or losing a SIM card, making it a more secure option.

eSIM Service Availability

In East Africa, carriers such as Safaricom Kenya, Airtel Tanzania, and Airtel Kenya already support eSIM service. Airtel Uganda’s eSIM supports 2G, 3G, and 4G-LTE technology, giving customers greater network flexibility.
