Mobile phone operator Grameenphone (GP) has launched eSIMs for the first time in Bangladesh and the new product will be available from March 7. So, the customers will have the benefit of connectivity without a physical SIM card on an eSIM enabled device, according to a statement.
“We are happy and inspired to bring in this advanced and climate-friendly technology to Bangladesh. As an early adopter of this innovative technology, we welcome everyone to join this journey,” said Yasir Azman, Chief Executive Officer of Grameenphone. “There is no denying that climate change poses alarming concerns for Bangladesh and we must act responsibly by all means to protect our present and future. eSIM is one of the many eco-friendly steps from us,” he added.
To obtain a Grameenphone eSIM connection, customers can visit Grameenphone Experience centres in Dhaka and Chattrogram or the select Grameenphone centres that have eSIM supported devices, fulfill the biometric registration process and request an eSIM. By following the process of SIM purchase, an eSIM request can also be placed on Grameenphone’s online shop. An eSIM enabled device, a working camera of the respective device to scan the QR code, and an active internet connection are required to activate the eSIM, eliminating all the logistical hassle of a physical SIM card.
Multiple networks and numbers can be stored on a single eSIM depending on the handset, ensuring seamless global connectivity. Customers can access more than one phone number, making it easier and more convenient for travellers, the statement said.
