There is an additional bonanza for customers. They can add a new number to their account while continuing to use the physical sim. The two numbers can be operated from the same phone, thereby helping customers not to have another phone for the new number. The company also said that the customers who are mobile using services of other operators can switch over to the e-Sim facility being offered by the company.
Airtel Tanzania sources expect the new and innovative service of the company will have more takers. The mobile telephony services in Tanzania are getting penetrated so also the broadband connectivity.
