Vodafone Ukraine starts selling eSIMs

Sales of virtual SIM cards based on eSIM technology will start in the Vodafone online store today.

The urgency of launching this technology is now confirmed by the received data – for six months of 2020, the penetration of eSIM smartphones in the Vodafone Ukraine network has increased by 60% . vodafone ukraine esims

eSIM allows you to abandon the use of a physical SIM card, replacing it with a virtual one. To do this, modern gadget manufacturers install a microchip that allows you to download a digital SIM card by scanning the QR code. In this way, users get the opportunity to buy or change the SIM card remotely, without spending time going to the store to get a physical card.

The virtual SIM card has a number of other advantages:

eSIM allows owners of mono-SIM devices to significantly expand the capabilities of their gadgets and use several profiles in one smartphone – up to 10 numbers (depending on the manufacturer’s settings);
eSIM can be used in devices without SIM card slots, such as tablets;
eSIM provides an additional level of security. It cannot be damaged, lost or removed from the smartphone, and this is another barrier for fraudsters and the ability to find a missing smartphone or tablet.

As of today, customers of the Vodafone prepaid service have the opportunity to purchase eSIM in a starter pack with the SuperNet Pro tariff worth UAH 150. For new connections on a contract basis in any tariff package, the cost of eSIM is UAH 100. Replacement of an existing SIM card with eSIM for all Vodafone subscribers – UAH 100.
