Here are the advantages of XL Axiata's e-SIM that can increase customer convenience and flexibility:

1. No need for a physical SIM card

One of the main advantages of e-SIM is that customers no longer need to use a physical SIM card on their smartphones. This not only reduces the potential disadvantage of losing a SIM card but also makes the device lighter and free of physical SIM slots that limit the design capabilities of the device.

2. Easy switching of number profiles and internet plans

e-SIM makes it easy for customers to switch number profiles or packages without having to replace the physical card. Customers can easily select or change data plans or number profiles without the need to go to a physical store or receive delivery of a new SIM card. This provides greater flexibility in managing data plans and services to suit customer needs.

3. Ease of activation

XL Axiata's e-SIM activation process is relatively easy and fast. Customers can activate e-SIM through the website https://store.xl.co.id/pilih  or directly visit the nearest XL Center. Customers can also activate it using a QR code.

4. Broad compatibility

e-SIM is already supported by a number of the latest smart devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. It ensures that many customers can adopt e-SIM technology more easily, conveniently, and efficiently.

5. Reduced Environmental Impact

By eliminating the need for producing and distributing physical SIM cards, e-SIM helps reduce environmental impact. It is a positive step in supporting sustainability and safeguarding natural resources.
