eSIMs, or embedded SIMs, enable devices to have out-of-the-box network connectivity without having to purchase a physical SIM card. Users can simply turn on their devices and download the mobile plan of their choosing. They also facilitate running multiple phone numbers, such as a work and a personal line, on a single device simultaneously.

Commenting during the launch, SKYtel’s Chief Commercial Officer, Amarchingun Gantumur, said, “We firmly believe eSIM is a gamechanger for consumer devices, allowing our existing and prospective subscribers to download SKYtel eSIM profiles and have an additional mobile number for data or for other purposes, and be ready with our roaming service on arrival at their destination. eSIM is also a very helpful technology solution to assist with social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
