Traversing new landscapes can be daunting enough without the added stress of figuring out foreign phone plans. Recognizing this, GK Telecom, an eSIM distributor, has introduced a novel solution: the physical eSIM pack.

They are enticing travelers to purchase its unlimited eSIM data plan for Europe with a physical eSIM pack they can activate without having to navigate the usual online search.

eSIM, or embedded SIM, eliminates the need for a physical SIM card. It allows users to store multiple mobile network profiles on a single device, making it ideal for switching carriers when traveling. However, the activation process can involve online portals and QR codes, which can be a hurdle for those less familiar with technology.

GK Telecom’s physical eSIM pack bridges this gap. By offering a tangible product, similar to a traditional SIM card, they aim to make the process more user-friendly for those who prefer a physical touchpoint. The details of the activation process are likely to be included with the pack, providing clear instructions for travelers to follow.

“eSIM technology is new and can be complex for first-time users. Our objective is to raise awareness through the distribution of a physical eSIM product. Online options exist through a complex process. Our goal is to provide users with a familiar experience similar to that of using a regular SIM card,” said GK Telecom director Ravi Navaratnam. The only difference is the use of a QR code instead of a chip. We aim to enhance customer convenience and flexibility by offering physical eSIM options. Users will be able to activate them through a traditional approach.

“According to statistics, 40 percent of travellers prefer to purchase a SIM card at their destination. If dealers can showcase eSIMs, it becomes a convenient choice for consumers, potentially generating revenue in emerging markets.”

Navaratnam says the company aims to promote eSIM adoption with a simplified connection process and to simplify eSIM connectivity.

Whether this will become a widespread trend remains to be seen, but GK Telecom’s concept offers a unique solution for a specific travel niche. GK Telecom physical eSIM
