iOS users can now install an eSIM in one tap - with Gigs!

Apple announced the update late last week and our team worked fast to launch it in Gigs. Now, our customers can offer their users the fastest phone plan activation on the planet.

Buy, tap, connect

Imagine getting a message from your favorite fintech app or music streaming platform offering a discounted unlimited data plan bundled with free perks. Then all you need to do is buy, tap and connect.

With Gigs, it’s possible.

Gigs enables brands of all shapes and sizes to sell custom phone plans that can be activated in seconds. With this new update, switching phone plans is easier than ordering an Uber.

Users can install their eSIM directly in Gigs Connect (Gigs’ hosted checkout) or by tapping a link from a Gigs email.

Why eSIM-plicity is a huge opportunity

A recent YouGov poll found that 35% of Americans would happily switch carriers for a better deal, but 49% think switching is too much hassle. Gigs is helping businesses change that narrative.

By making it easy to buy and activate a new phone plan, businesses can capture millions of customers that are looking for a plan tailored to their needs.

But the opportunity doesn’t stop there. eSIMs are also opening the door for customers to purchase multiple plans, whether for work, travel, or additional devices such as smartwatches. This gives providers a chance to significantly increase the revenue on each customer they win.
