Government telecom company
bsnl has started eSIM facility for its
customers, which has started from
tamil Nadu circle. The company is planning to launch this
service in a phased manner across the country in the coming time. With this move,
bsnl will now stand at par with private operators like Airtel,
jio and Vi.
How does eSIM work?
Through the eSIM feature,
bsnl users will no longer need a physical SIM card. Instead,
customers can download their SIM profile directly to the device by scanning a secure QR code. The KYC (Know Your Customer) process will be completed at BSNL's
customer service center. Company CMD Robert J. According to Ravi, this
technology reflects BSNL's commitment to provide modern and secure connectivity under

Availability and activation process
Customers with eSIM-supported devices can visit their nearest
bsnl customer service center with a valid identity card. The
bsnl team there will do

service is available to both new and old
customers who want to switch from physical SIM to eSIM.
BSNL's anti-spam and anti-smishing protection
BSNL has also started anti-spam and anti-smishing protection feature for users across the country. Its purpose is to protect users from fraudulent SMS and messages that can cause financial loss or identity theft by obtaining sensitive information.
How does this security system work?
This solution has been developed by Tanla Platforms. It can be activated directly at the network level, eliminating the need for users to install a separate app or change device settings.
