Bharti Airtel Enhances eSIM Upgrade Process; CEO Encourages Transition to eSIM 

Bharti Airtel Simplifies Transition to e-SIM 

Bharti Airtel has recently streamlined the process of upgrading from a physical SIM to an eSIM, as reported by TelecomTalk. This development was also emphasised by Gopal Vittal, the CEO and MD of Bharti Airtel, during the recent earnings call. 

 

Advancements in Mobile Technology 

In an email to customers, Gopal Vittal highlighted the advancements in mobile technology, specifically referring to embedded SIM or e-SIM, stating that it will make things easier and more convenient for Airtel customers. 

e-SIM Convenience for Airtel Users 

Typically, an e-SIM serves as an online extension of your regular physical SIM card, eliminating the need for access to the physical SIM card on your phone. Gopal has encouraged Airtel users to upgrade to e-SIM and stay connected, emphasising the features and benefits that customers can experience with eSIM technology. 

Security and Multiple Mobile Numbers 

Gopal also highlighted that users can use multiple mobile numbers on a single e-SIM if they choose to do so. The process of changing devices with an e-SIM is also very easy. 

Airtel Thanks App Integration 

Furthermore, Gopal emphasised that Airtel has tried to make the transition to an e-SIM as seamless as possible for users through the Airtel Thanks App, available for download on both the Google Play Store and Apple iOS App Stores. Users can convert their physical SIM into an e-SIM through the Airtel Thanks app. 

Activation Process and Tracking Security 

The e-SIM will be activated as soon as the e-SIM profile is downloaded and enabled. Gopal mentioned that in instances of theft, the e-SIM adds an additional layer of security, making it harder for criminals to dispose of the e-SIM compared to traditional SIM cards.
