What is BSNL's eSIM service and why is it special?
BSNL's eSIM service is now available across India. Under this service, you will not have to take any physical SIM, rather the mobile network can be activated by scanning a QR code. This means more security, flexibility, and convenience.

What is the role of Tata Communications?
Tata Communications has provided technology to BSNL to provide eSIM service through its modern MOVE platform. This platform is certified by GSMA and is completely digital. Through this, BSNL will now be able to manage eSIM completely digitally, due to which the services will become even faster and secure.

How will this benefit users?
- Mobile service can be started without SIM card only through QR code.
- Easy access to 2G, 3G and 4G networks.
In dual-SIM phones, one eSIM and one physical SIM can be used together.
- It will be easy to connect to any local operator while traveling abroad.

What will India get from this technology?
This partnership between Tata Communications and BSNL takes India another step forward towards Digital India. This will not only benefit the users, but this system will also be scalable in future for enterprise IoT.
