EMOSIM, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) supported by EMO MEDIA, has introduced Nigeria's first travel electronic SIM (e-SIM) in collaboration with Tata Communications Services. Set to go live in the second quarter of 2025, it is specifically designed for outbound Nigerian travellers.
The new e-SIM will allow users to enjoy seamless connectivity without the burden of roaming charges, as they will only need to pay for competitively priced data packages. The coverage footprint will include popular travel destinations frequented by Nigerians, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
EMOSIM's launch of the travel e-SIM is a key component of its broader plan to enhance telecom and connectivity services within Nigeria. The collaboration with Tata Communications aligns with the nation's digitization initiatives, aiming to improve the accessibility and affordability of mobile connectivity for all.
Using Tata Communications' MVNO technology infrastructure, EMOSIM is committed to fostering digital inclusivity and driving technological advancement, reflecting Nigeria’s dedication to telecom innovation.
“EMOSIM’s borderless mobile experience is designed to serve Nigeria’s growing community of frequent travellers, digital entrepreneurs, and remote workers, making global connectivity more accessible than ever before,” said Aditya Raj Khosla, Chief Commercial and Operations Officer at EMOSIM.
“The introduction of MVNO licenses has been pivotal in reaching underserved markets and ensuring that the smartphone revolution benefits every Nigerian. With Tata Communications as our strategic partner, we are positioned to accelerate digital adoption in Nigeria. The travel segment holds immense promise; over 1.2 million Nigerians travel abroad each year, making the travel e-SIM an ideal launch product,” said Karn Gulati, CEO of EMOSIM.
