Melita eSIM
The eSIMs offered by Melita streamline user experience, enabling multiple numbers on a single phone. They also enhance security by eliminating SIM card theft and cloning risks, while promoting sustainability by reducing the need for physical SIM cards.
Melita Green SIM Card
For customers without eSIM-compatible phones, Melita has launched Physical SIM cards made from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a degradable material that burns cleanly when recycled. These green SIM cards offer reliability and functionality, while minimizing pollution compared to traditional PVC cards.
Melita emphasizes that the introduction of eSIMs and Green SIM cards align with their commitment to sustainable practices. They stated, “Offering eSIM options and introducing physical SIM cards made of ABS are small but important actions that support our goal of embracing sustainable practices across our operations.”
