eSIM for Mobility and Transport Brands
eSIM for transport companies keeps travellers and drivers connected and turns every journey into a sale. Platforms can embed eSIM with the API, while railways and airlines can launch a branded app, as SBB did with ZIM@SBB.
What is the opportunity for transport brands?
Travellers still face expensive roaming or hunt for a local plan on arrival. Every journey booked through you is a moment when they need data abroad, yet that spend goes to carriers.
For platforms: the eSIM API
Ride hailing, rental and cross border platforms offer a regional eSIM at checkout, activate before pickup and allow top ups in app. App whitelisting keeps the platform working even when data runs out.
- Book a cross border trip
- Offer regional eSIM at checkout
- Activate before pickup
- Top up in app
For railways and airlines: a branded app
Captive travelling audiences monetise the journey with a branded eSIM app. SBB launched ZIM@SBB alongside its insurance and top up services.
Why it works
Fewer connectivity related support tickets, stronger retention and a new revenue stream, with no telecom infrastructure or dev team to build.
