Ufone eSIM Transforming Connectivity

Overview

After Zong and Jazz, Ufone has also announced a new lunching of an eSIM transforming connectivity. eSIM is an advanced SIM technology which is embedded in your phone to activate your mobile number without having to insert a physical SIM. With eSIM, you can digitally activate and store multiple phone numbers. It also allows customers to switch between multiple Ufone numbers without the hassle of changing physical SIMs.
