Interestingly, MTN has also listed upcoming Samsung devices as the “S30 series”, despite the fact that the official name of the line has yet to be confirmed by the manufacturer.
MTN said that its eSIM solution is a first on the market in South Africa as it allows people to store multiple profiles on a single device, effectively having two or more numbers, and switch between them comfortably.
“It is ideal for anyone who needs an additional number for travel or business. You can store multiple contract profiles on a single device, easily switching between them to manage your lifestyle, ”said MTN Corporate Affairs Executive Jacqui O’Sullivan.
“ESIM is not only embedded in smartphones, but also in wearable devices at the point of manufacture.”
“Customers can synchronize their portable devices with other mobile devices, sharing the same number and contract value, so they can send and receive messages, notifications and calls on their eSim portable device even when their mobile device is not in range” , O ‘Sullivan added.
