IN another major stride towards delivering powerful digital experiences to its customers, Digicel is preparing to support eSIM-enabled (electronic SIM) devices, beginning December 2022.

This will allow customers, including those intending to get the e-SIM-only iPhone 14, more time to plan their purchases in order to enjoy a full-fledged digital experience.

Ahead of the December eSIM roll-out, customers can also purchase dual SIM (eSIM and physical SIM) versions of the iPhone 14 and connect immediately to the Digicel network using their existing SIM.

To date, more than 99 per cent of smartphones work with a physical SIM, even if they also have eSIM capability.

An eSIM is a digital version of the physical SIM card that customers now use to connect to the Digicel network via smartphones, tablets, or other devices.

It is embedded into the device for easy set-up and out-of-the-box use that ensures seamless connectivity to the Digicel network in seconds.

Last month Apple introduced its latest version of the wildly popular smartphone and announced that it will have an eSIM-only version for the United States market, where many Jamaicans acquire the device.
