Glo Launches e-SIM with Free Data Bonus

Nigerian telecom giant Globacom has introduced an embedded SIM (e-SIM) service, enabling customers to join its network without needing a physical SIM card.

Announcing the rollout on Sunday, the company revealed that customers who activate the e-SIM with a minimum data plan of N1,500 will receive a 5GB free data bonus.

The e-SIM is a software-based digital chip embedded directly into smartphones and wearable devices, eliminating the need for a physical SIM and allowing seamless switching between numbers.

Globacom described this technology as particularly beneficial for frequent travellers and professionals who require multiple lines without the hassle of carrying multiple SIM cards.

One of the major advantages of the e-SIM, according to the company, is enhanced security, as it is harder to remove from a device compared to traditional SIM cards. Additionally, the e-SIM is eco-friendly, reducing plastic waste associated with conventional SIM cards.

“With this launch, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering future-ready services to our customers,” Globacom stated. “The e-SIM provides high-net-worth individuals and enterprise customers with a seamless digital experience while also making it easier for users on other networks to join the Glo family.”

Existing Glo customers can switch to the e-SIM service, while new users from other networks can activate an additional SIM on their compatible devices.

To check if a device supports e-SIM, users can dial #06# on their phones. If an EID (Embedded Identity Document) number appears, the device is e-SIM compatible.

“The customer can then visit the nearest Gloworld shop or Glo dealer outlet to migrate to e-SIM,” the company’s marketing team explained.

“The process takes only a few minutes, after which the customer can immediately start enjoying the benefits of an e-SIM.”
