Airtel Uganda has formed a partnership with Transtel Uganda to provide e-SIM-enabled devices on a hire-purchase basis to members of the public. Transtel is the official distributor of Samsung and Apple smartphones in the country. Airtel Uganda recently launched the first eSIM service on the Ugandan market.

The eSIM is an electronic or embedded SIM that allows a customer to use telecom services of voice, data, sms and financial services without having to install a physical SIM card. There are currently many phone manufacturers that are producing smartphones that accommodate eSIM.

For more than 15 years, Airtel Uganda, on its 100% 4G network, has supported the digital transformation journey in Uganda by being 5G ready, and eSIM service is the latest addition to this journey supporting device manufacturers that have transformed from physical SIM cards to digital eSIM.

Transtel eSIM-enabled devices are also available to Airtel Uganda subscribers on device financing through their companies. Various companies can contact Transtel and arrange to provide these devices to their employees. The eSIM-enabled models include the Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and you can use them while paying installments.

Currently, eSIMs are available at all Airtel shops in Uganda and customers can access them with their valid national IDs.
