Plug.ng Launches Global eSIM in 150 Countries for Nigerian Travelers

Summary
June 15 marked Plug.ng’s rollout of a Global eSIM service that lets Nigerians traveling abroad buy and activate mobile data digitally instead of swapping physical SIM cards or paying roaming charges.
More than 150 countries are covered, and users can keep their primary phone numbers while activating plans within minutes on compatible devices through the Plug.ng platform.
Naira-denominated payments are a key selling point, allowing customers to fund and purchase data plans from their Plug.ng accounts rather than navigating foreign payment systems.
The product is primarily a data service for use outside Nigeria, with activation only after arrival in supported destinations across Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.
The launch broadens Plug.ng’s digital-services lineup beyond airtime, data, bill payments and virtual dollar cards, extending its push into travel-focused connectivity.
