The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSMA) eSIM Discovery service is one of 1GLOBAL’s most useful tools, and not just because we’re one of only four SM-DP+ service provider partners on the planet. It’s because we’re keen on industry standards when it comes to technology – especially when it’s there to safeguard something as huge as the ongoing eSIM revolution.

Simply put, the GSMA eSIM Discovery service is the industry specified, universally recognized method for remote eSIM provisioning. Working with an SM-DP+ partner, operators can rest assured that they are in expert hands for the next step in their eSIM journey. This standardized way of activating eSIM subscriptions will make life easier for the customer, operator and the entire ecosystem – saving time and money for all.
Benefits for operators

eSIM adoption can be maximized by making the customer journey quick and easy with one-time setup on their chosen network – ensuring a true digital customer journey.
