This new product creates immediate added value for freenet
customers who plan on visiting other countries. Whether travelling
for business or leisure, calculating roaming costs and data usage
abroad can often be complex. 1GLOBAL eSIMs offer millions of
freenet customers a crucial advantage, enabling seamless mobile
internet usage in countries outside the EU while avoiding high
roaming charges.
"We are among the few providers worldwide capable of supplying
and configuring eSIMs ourselves. Through this partnership, millions
of freenet customers can now book various data packages for
countries outside the EU, allowing them to communicate
cost-effectively during their travels."
- Hakan Koç, founder and CEO of 1GLOBAL
1GLOBAL eSIMs: worry-free travel and minimal roaming charges
for freenet users
All freenet customers with eSIM-compatible devices now have
access to the service. To install the eSIM on their phone, they
simply scan a QR code and follow the onscreen prompts. Once
downloaded, a 1GLOBAL eSIM can be used as many times as needed in
any of the countries supported by the secure high-speed
network.
Users can choose from a variety of tariffs and instantly book a
data plan for their desired destination, even if they have no
internet connection. They will also benefit from 1GLOBAL’s
high-speed 4G/5G network. 1GLOBAL has developed a complete eSIM
ecosystem including Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) and Entitlement
Servers, ensuring the highest quality throughout the eSIM
deployment lifecycle. Their fully integrable API can be customised
and adapted to deliver an outstanding client experience across a
wide range of telco products.
"By using 1GLOBAL eSIM capabilities, we are embracing a
future-proof, modern technology. This enables us to further expand
our positioning around digital lifestyle offerings."
- Salome Andrade Pohl, Head of Digital Lifestyle at freenet
