eSIM for Globe prepaid users
In a statement, the telco said this is part of its commitment to providing innovative solutions, enhancing the mobile experience for its customers, and embedding sustainability in its products.
The eSIM that will be rolled out is a "leveled-up version," according to Darius Delgado, head of Globe's Consumer Mobile Business.
We recognize the opportunity and we can also monetize the convenience that eSIM can give our customers. And it's also going to restructure the way we operate because there's less cost, it's fully Do-It-Yourself. It's really convenient for the customer, Delgado said.
Initially introduced for postpaid subscribers in 2018, Globe said that eSIM is an integrated SIM chip permanently embedded in the mobile device.
With eSIM, Globe said that users can create multiple profiles using different mobile numbers on a single device and connect numerous gadgets, such as smartphones and smartwatches, under a single mobile number.
Shifting to eSIM, Globe said that this would cut plastic waste generation and logistics.
To recap, Globe first made eSIMs available in the country for postpaid subscribers last 2018.
