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.
Benefits
With an eSIM, you can accommodate multiple phone numbers, which you can add, delete and configure right from your phone’s settings. In contrast, a physical SIM needs to be physically removed and replaced. For example, you will now be able to switch between private and business numbers in one phone without physically swapping the SIM cards.
