Telecommunication giant, Glo, is welcoming new customers on its network with the introduction of the e-SIM with free 5GB data.
The e-SIM activated in any Gloworld shop or dealer outlet comes with an introductory free 5GB data when the customer buys a data plan of N1,500 or more.
Glo made this known in a statement on Friday, adding that customers already on other networks can now join the Glo network with e-SIM as an additional SIM.
It also disclosed that existing Glo customers can also enjoy this “SIM-less” freedom.
With the e-SIM, customers no longer have to worry about space for a physical SIM on their phones.
“The 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.
“The use of e-SIM enables customers to have seamless switching between phone numbers without a physical SIM. It is ideal for upwardly mobile people who travel frequently.
“The e-SIM also guarantees security, as unlike physical SIM, it is harder to remove from devices. It is also eco-friendly and reduces plastic waste,” it was stated in the statement.
The launch of the e-SIM by Glo would enable it to cater to high-net-worth individuals and enterprise customers.
It also reinforced the commitment of the company to providing seamless and future-ready services to its customers.
“A customer seeking to activate the Glo e-SIM needs to check the compatibility of the mobile handset by dialling *#06# on his or her phone.
“If an EID number reflects on the mobile screen, the device is e-SIM compatible.
“The customer can then 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,” the Marketing Department disclosed in the statement.
