A huge majority of phones in the market do not support eSIM. It is only a matter of time before many smartphones companies adopt to this technological advancement, meaning essentially to remove a physical SIM card slot from phones!
Self-service kiosks are enabling people from all across the globe to become more technically self-reliant in the purchase of nearly everything, from a new SIM to the activation of internet packages – all free from the tedious struggle of locating and interacting with an industry or field expert.
These kiosks are present to serve and fulfill the needs of those on the go – an improved and streamlined service for even the least tech-savvy of us! Telecom, banking, and retail, are just a few of the industries that have chosen to elevate service provision with the adoption of self-service kiosks, now a must in a Covid-era microbial world, given that human intervention and social interaction is minimised.
What Is an ESIM? How Does it Work?
An eSIM or an embedded Subscriber Identity Module is a pre-built chip, unburdened by a physical existence, that saves you from the hassle of purchasing, registering and placing a SIM card in your device.
Traditional SIM cards lag behind due to their unsustainable make-up – plastic, which coupled with the ever-decreasing dimensions they have been subjected to, makes them ripe for replacement by a more modern and convenient alternative. All the simplicity of a postpaid number without any of the carbon footprint, and now with the additional benefits of being able to change ownership or replace an existing card.

The process too is straightforward, and undemanding, as follows:
1) Having located a self-service kiosk that offers eSIM activation services
2) Opt for the eSIM flow
3) Enter your ID number and complete the biometric verification.
Succeeding this security step, the kiosk displays a QR code, especially created for you as a result of the combination of your details with an image it has captured of you, which once scanned, completes the process and activates your embedded SIM.
Alternatively, you may take down a numeric code, to use for activation at a later date.
This entire experience is but a few minutes long, and that too on your own time and dime, the epitome of ease and convenience. This is the customer experience of the future, and telecommunication giants are aware of it as they scramble to develop and offer efficient solutions to present and anticipated market hurdles.
One of which can be expected to cause problems for reliability and customer trust, circumvented by checks for due diligence purposes and to prevent credit fraud. This is where KYC solution (Know Your Customer) checks are factored in, as a means to collect additional biometric data on the individual involved in the purchase.
