Travel eSIM grants affordable connectivity in 190 countries

EmoSIM, Nigeria’s first outbound travel e-SIM, has demonstrated its capacity to provide an affordable and world-class mobile experience that allows Africans to access mobile networks in over 190 countries.

Developed in collaboration with Tata Communications, a world leader in digital infrastructure, EnoSIM’s Travel e-SIM is tailored for the modern Nigerian traveler, whether for business, study, leisure, or diaspora engagement, the company said in a statement.

Speaking at a media briefing in Lagos, EmoSIM Chairman and Founder, Jimmy Eboma, explained: “EmoSIM was created for travelers who need seamless connectivity anywhere in the world. Our mission is simple – one eSIM for every travel. We intend to make global communication seamless, affordable and swift.”

Eboma underscored the company’s three core pillars – ease, convenience and affordability, noting that activation takes only minutes directly from a user’s phone, with no paperwork required.

“The solution is as easy as scanning a QR code before travelling, which instantly activates the eSIM,” he said. Beyond ease of use, Eboma highlighted security as a key focus, saying: “Virtual SIMs cannot be transferred unless both the device and email are compromised. Activation codes are sent only to the user’s email and eSIM profiles can be deactivated and restored seamlessly in cases of phone theft.

“With EmoSIM, your identity remains secure, unlike with plastic SIMs, which anyone can use if stolen.” EmoSIM is also known for its customer-first approach, with plans to extend its value beyond outbound eSIM services into MVNO operations, digitising connectivity and reshaping how Africans experience mobile communication both at home and abroad.

In just three months of its launch, EmoSIM has established physical presence across the SADC region, including. South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Eswatini, Lesotho, Angola, Malawi, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, demonstrating its rapid growth across Africa.

Highlighting the broader economic impact, the Chief Operations Officer, Aditya Kholsa, noted: “All charges are settled in local currency to avoid dollar conversion restrictions and help strengthen domestic economies. Our flexible plans are tailored for travelers, business professionals, tech-savvy individuals, students, leisure seekers and migrants.”
