Telenor Pakistan has announced the launch of its advanced eSIM technology, marking a significant milestone in the telecommunications industry by becoming the first provider in the country to offer a paperless eSIM solution. This innovative service sets a new benchmark for convenience, security, and flexibility, enhancing the overall experience for customers nationwide.
An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM that allows users to activate a cellular plan without the need for a physical SIM card. This digital solution not only bolsters security—protecting users from theft and unauthorized use—but also ensures seamless connectivity across a wide range of compatible devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, and IoT-enabled gadgets. With eSIM technology, users can easily activate and store multiple phone numbers on a single device, offering greater flexibility and convenience.
Khurrum Ashfaque, CEO of Telenor Pakistan, highlighted the broader impact of this innovation, stating, “Globally, the adoption of secure and eco-friendly lifestyles is becoming the norm, and we are excited to share that our new eSIM technology aligns perfectly with these values. This digital solution provides a paperless alternative to the conventional SIM card, supporting our efforts to reduce plastic waste.”
Telenor Pakistan’s eSIM service is available to both prepaid and postpaid customers, ensuring widespread accessibility. The activation process is designed to be straightforward and hassle-free. Customers can transition to eSIM by visiting any Telenor Pakistan Sales and Service Centre or authorized retailer, where they can scan a QR code and follow the on-screen instructions.
The launch of eSIM technology underscores Telenor Pakistan’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of its customers. By embracing paperless eSIM technology, the company is not only setting a new industry standard but also contributing to a more sustainable future by reducing the plastic waste associated with physical SIM cards.
