eSIM Go Partners with Vodafone UK to Remove MVNO Barriers

Mobile network operator Vodafone UK has today announced that they’ve signed a new partnership with eSIM Go, which will allow the latter to offer connectivity on Vodafone’s network in the UK to their business customers and thus remove MVNO (virtual operator) barriers to entry for organisations of all sizes.

In case you haven’t heard of them, eSIM Go enables organisations of any scale, or sector – including alternative broadband networks, fintechs, energy utilities, retailers, charities and football clubs – to offer their own virtual mobile products and services to customers. The company already works with various partners, such as Western Union, Lufthansa, Uswitch, Wizz Air, and Confused.com, along with various travel eSIM stores worldwide.

The new agreement with Vodafone aims to open up the UK domestic mobile market to existing partners and a wide array of B2B and B2C telecom and non-telecom distribution channels. Businesses will thus be able to allow customers to simply select connectivity as a package or bolt-on from their sites or apps, through eSIM Go’s technology platform.

Maria Grazia Pecorari, Director of Wholesale and Strategy at Vodafone UK, said:

“This partnership with eSIM Go highlights our commitment at Vodafone UK to innovation and growing customer choice. MVNOs play a crucial role in the UK, allowing people to experience our reliable connectivity through different platforms. eSIM is the next evolution, allowing businesses and consumers to enjoy Vodafone’s network with more flexibility.”

Zacc Couldrick, CEO of eSIM Go, said:

“We’re very pleased to sign this contract with Vodafone UK and open up MVNO opportunities for everyone. And I do mean everyone – any business with subscribers, customers, employees or followers will be able to offer a variety of UK mobile phone services under their own brand and gain almost as much control as if they were full MVNOs.”
