Vittal stressed the flexibility of e-technology by stating that users can manage mobile numbers on a single e-SIM. This offers convenience and adaptability. He further pointed out how easy it is to switch devices with an e-SIM making the transition smooth, for users.
Regarding security Vittal mentioned that e-SIMs present an obstacle, for criminals trying to get rid of stolen smartphones because they don’t have the option to physically remove the SIM card like traditional ones do. To address worries, about stolen smartphones, Vittal reassured customers that e-SIMs simplify tracking increasing the likelihood of finding a lost device.
He emphasized Airtel’s commitment to providing a convenient and efficient connectivity experience for its users.
