Airtel Kenya has rolled out digital SIM cards that will eliminate the need for a physical one, following its rival Safaricom in launching the technology that allows seamless switching from one mobile network to another.
The launch, which Airtel Africa chief executive Segun Ogunsanya oversaw, follows the trend in other markets such as Nigeria, where the telco launched the e-SIM (short for an embedded subscriber identity module) in January.
