Telecommunications giant, Globacom, has introduced its e-SIM technology, offering customers a 5GB free data bonus upon activation and purchase of a data plan worth at least ₦1,500.
The company announced the new development in a statement issued in Lagos, emphasizing that e-SIM technology provides a “SIM-less freedom” for customers who want a more convenient and secure mobile experience.
What is Glo e-SIM?
The e-SIM is a digital, software-based chip that is embedded directly into smartphones and wearable devices. Unlike traditional SIM cards, it does not require a physical card to function. Instead, customers can switch between different numbers easily without changing SIM cards.
“Customers on any network can enjoy ‘SIM-less’ freedom with Glo e-SIM as an additional SIM on their phones,” the company said in the statement.
Globacom highlighted that e-SIM is especially beneficial for people who travel frequently, as it allows them to use multiple lines on one device without the hassle of carrying extra SIM cards.

Enhanced Security and Eco-Friendly Benefits
One of the major advantages of e-SIM technology is its enhanced security. Since it is embedded into the device, it is more difficult to remove, reducing the risk of theft or unauthorized use.
Globacom also pointed out the environmental benefits of e-SIM. The elimination of plastic SIM cards reduces plastic waste, making it a more eco-friendly option for customers.
Who Can Use Glo e-SIM?
The e-SIM is designed to meet the needs of high-net-worth individuals, frequent travelers, and enterprise customers who require seamless connectivity. The company reiterated its commitment to delivering *”future-ready services” to improve customer experience.
To check if a mobile phone is compatible with e-SIM, customers can dial *#06# on their device. If an EID (Embedded Identity Document) number appears on the screen, the device supports e-SIM technology.
How to Activate Glo e-SIM
Customers interested in migrating to Glo e-SIM can visit the nearest Gloworld shop or authorized Glo dealer outlet. The activation process takes only a few minutes, after which the customer can start enjoying the benefits of e-SIM technology.
With this latest innovation, Globacom continues to position itself as a leader in digital solutions, offering more convenience, security, and flexibility to its customers.
