Vodafone Idea Introduces eSIM Services for Prepaid Customers in Select States – Explore Online Activation Process

Vodafone Idea, a popular telecom service provider, has offered eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module) services for prepaid subscribers in Mumbai and Goa. This comes amidst the widespread availability of eSIM services from Jio and Airtel. It can provide Vi customers with greater flexibility and convenience when using a SIM card on a compatible smartphone or wearable. This can be done without removing the primary SIM card from a supported handset.

According to Vi, eSIM is a tool for speedier connectivity and easy adoption of new technologies. Postpaid and prepaid consumers can now use their handsets’ eSIM feature to access services. The business also explained how consumers can migrate to a Vi eSIM. Here’s how you switch to an eSIM:
