What is the Telecel eSIM?

A Telecel eSIM is a digital SIM embedded in your mobile device.

It’s a modern alternative to physical SIM cards. So, instead of inserting a SIM card to access mobile services, you can download and activate your SIM profile digitally from Telecel.

It’s available to both new and existing customers, with a 5GB bonus awarded upon activation.

Eligibility and requirements

To get a Telecel eSIM, you’ll need:

• A valid Ghana card.
• A working email address.
• An eSIM-compatible device.

Note: To check compatibility on an Android device, dial *#06#. If your device shows a 32-digit EID number, it supports eSIM.

If you’re eligible following the requirements above, follow these steps to get a Telecel eSIM:

1. Visit the nearest Telecel retail shop.
2. Provide your Ghana Card, Telecel number (if you are an existing customer), and email address to the agent.
3. After registration, Telecel will send an activation QR code to your email.
4. Open the QR code on a laptop or another device, then scan it with your mobile phone to install your eSIM profile.

Note: Keep the QR code secure to prevent unauthorised access to your eSIM. You can follow the steps here to install your Telecel eSIM profile.
