ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Join leading eSIM innovator Truphone and the GSMA to chart the inexorable rise of eSIM since its inclusion in the iPhone series last year and hear key insights into how eSIM can win new customers, whilst reducing operational costs.
Almost a year ago exactly, Apple released the first major smartphone with embedded SIM capability. And while early adopters ogled over its potential, 95% of operators just weren't ready. Truphone was, and so was the GSMA—which designed a global standard to boost eSIM success and drive competition in the market. A year on, we consider the palpable demand for the eSIM and how it has affected the telecommunications landscape.
