Airtel Kenya has announced the launch of eSIMs, following the lead of other mobile service providers like Safaricom and Telkom Kenya. The new eSIM technology enables Airtel Kenya customers to have multiple phone numbers on a single device without having to switch physical SIM cards, which offers more flexibility and convenience to users.
eSIMs are gaining popularity globally due to their many benefits, including real-time phone number switching without having to visit a physical store or wait for delivery. This feature is especially useful for those who travel often or need separate phone numbers for personal and business use.
