Robi launches e-SIM to facilitate smart society

Mobile network operator Robi has introduced e-SIM for its customers aiming to contribute to the creation of a smart society.

With 4.5G Robi eSIM, Robi customers will enjoy the best internet experience in the country, said a press release.

Using the e-SIM, all of Robi’s pre-paid and post-paid customers can activate and manage their desired Robi products and services directly from their smartphones. To avail of e-SIM, the customers need to visit Robi Service Centre or apply online to complete the biometric verification.

Due to its virtual nature, there will be no chance of losing an e-SIM and customers won’t need to open up their smartphones to access it. Users can also save multiple e-SIMs on their phones and access the e-SIM they need when required.

In case the QR code of the eSIM gets deleted, users can download it as many times as needed. Robi users with e-SIM-enabled handsets can use this highly secured smart technology.

Beyond the scope of individual usage, e-SIMs are going to play a critical role in implementing smart Bangladesh as they will provide the basis to ensure optimum digital connectivity among people.

In 2009, then AKTEL, now Robi Axiata, was the first operator to introduce GPRS and 3.5G services in the country. It is the first company to launch a 4.5G service in all 64 districts of the country. Robi also claims to have the widest international roaming coverage with 398 operators across 182 countries with the widest 4G roaming footprint in 29 countries with 40 operators. Robi has clearly pioneered the domain of education with the creation of the largest online school in the country, Robi-10 Minute School, which is providing quality educational content to millions of students across the country free of cost.
