VOXI Mobile Launch eSIM for New and Existing UK Customers

Contract-free UK mobile provider VOXI, which is a virtual network operator (MVNO) sibling of Vodafone, has today announced the introduction of eSIM (Electronic SIM) support to their mobile service for both new and existing customers who take one of their SIM Only mobile plans.

Just to recap. The eSIM standard is an alternative to physical SIM cards, which works by essentially embedding an electronic SIM into your device (Smartphone) that could – once fully implemented – make it easier and quicker to switch between operators (e.g. not having to wait for a SIM card to arrive) and to use additional networks alongside your main mobile service (e.g. eSIMs for travel when abroad).

Scott Currie, Head of VOXI, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce eSIM on VOXI Mobile, making it easier than ever to get connected. With network access in as little as 10 minutes, eSIM is not only more eco-friendly [i.e. it’s plastic free and postage-free], it gives our customers a hassle-free way to join without waiting for a SIM card to arrive.”

The announcement doesn’t say much more than that, except to note that not all Smartphones currently support eSIM technology and VOXI’s eSIMs are currently only available when purchasing a SIM only plan (i.e. not in conjunction with a handset device). The operator also caveats that, “in some instances, application may take longer than 10 minutes“.
