MTN Ghana today launched its electronic SIM (eSIM) today.
The eSIM is now available to MTN customers including Prepaid, Post paid and corporate subscribers. The eSIM functions can be accessed digitally via the MyMTN App. Customers with already registered numbers with MTN will have their numbers upgraded to eSIM.
An eSIM is a virtual SIM that is inbuilt in mobile and smart devices at the point of manufacture. Mobile users can switch between multiple mobile numbers on a single SIM device without switching out SIM cards.
All new eSIM activations will come with a free 10GB one-off non-expiry data bundle.
The introduction of eSIM is in line with MTN’s vision ‘to lead the delivery of a bold, new digital world to its customers’ and fulfil its Ambition 2025 objectives.
In 2020, MTN Nigeria was testing its eSIM product in their market. Fast forward to 2022 and Ghana customers can now access that same product.
