MTN recently launched its Evolution Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIM cards), which allows subscribers to use MTN line on their eSIM compatible phone without using sim cards. The new evolution in SIM cards will enable users to operate their phones by just registering rather than purchasing an MTN sim.
The MTN eSIM will be on for a year after the network provider obtained approval from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for the trial of eSIM. The eSIM is already built into some smartphones to give them more freedom and flexibility.
MTN Nigeria is just the first telecommunication company to utilise the technology embedded in smartphones.
