Teletalk, Bangladesh's state-owned mobile operator, has officially entered the era of eSIM technology, marking a new era in digital connectivity for the state-owned operator. The inauguration, led by Zunaid Ahmed Palak, State Minister for Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology, took place at the ICT Tower in Agargaon, Dhaka, on Martyr's Day, February 21.

Teletalk Introduces eSIM

Teletalk’s adoption of eSIM follows similar moves by private operators Grameenphone, Robi, and Banglalink. Grameenphone led the way by introducing eSIM in March 2022, with other operators swiftly following suit.

eSIM, short for embedded SIM, represents a departure from traditional SIM card technology. Unlike physical SIM cards requiring manual insertion, eSIMs are integrated directly into handsets, facilitating seamless network connectivity without the need for physical SIM card swapping.

Experts anticipate a significant global surge in eSIM usage, with projections indicating a rise to 3.4 billion eSIM connections by 2025. This trend underscores the increasing adoption of integrated and flexible mobile telecommunications solutions.
