Airalo Partners: The eSIM solution for MVNOs in the age of global connectivity

Today’s travelers want easy, affordable ways to stay connected while on the go. However, finding a good solution can be challenging.

When traveling abroad, travelers face high roaming charges, search for Wi-Fi, or hunt for local SIM cards. Which means they have to sacrifice convenience in one area for another.

However, with eSIM technology, that barrier is removed. Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) can offer flexible and quick solutions to connectivity.

Understanding the benefits of eSIM technology for MVNOs is key to leveling up your business. eSIMs improve customer satisfaction and prepare your business for the future — with the right eSIM provider.

Why should MVNOs start using eSIM technology?

MVNOs need solutions that streamline their operations and help them to grow easily. They also need to fit the needs of tech-savvy customers who travel around the world. eSIM technology meets these needs. 

The eSIM market is expected to grow from 1.46 billion USD in 2024 to 6.29 billion USD by 2032. This growth shows that more customers want instant connectivity wherever they go.

MVNOs have a big opportunity to embrace this technology. As they are at the center of the industry shift, they need the right partner to support their growth.

How eSIMs drive success for MVNOs

1. Cut costs and simplify operations: With eSIMs, MVNOs don't need physical SIM cards. This means they can save money on shipping and managing inventory. With eSIMs, MVNOs streamline operations and deliver fast and instant connectivity to customers.

2. Improve customer acquisition and retention: eSIM technology makes it easy for customers to connect abroad via an app or website. They can switch providers, sign up for new plans, or add services anytime, anywhere. This flexibility is attractive to customers who want convenience and a digital-first experience.

3. Offer a cheaper solution to roaming: eSIMs help MVNOs better serve international travelers by offering affordable and seamless connectivity. Instead of relying on expensive roaming agreements, MVNOs can provide flexible data plans tailored to travelers' needs. This not only helps reduce costs for customers but also gives MVNOs a competitive edge.

4. Deliver a fully digital, seamless experience: eSIMs align with MVNOs' goals to create an online customer journey. Instead of visiting a store or waiting for a SIM card in the mail, customers can activate their service instantly via a mobile app or website

5. Future-proof your business: With tech companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung adopting eSIM technology, MVNOs need to adapt to stay relevant. With eSIM technology, MVNOs position themselves as modern solutions that don't rely on physical SIMs.

6. Reduce environmental impact: eSIMs help reduce plastic waste and shipping emissions. This shift supports a sustainable option, which makes MVNOs more attractive to customers who care about the planet.
