ADD eSIM / POSTAL & RETAIL

Online and in-store distribution

Potentially low physical inventory

03 / HOW IT FITS
One product, several retail touchpoints
Start with one clear customer touchpoint. Keep the operating model simple.

A customer encounters connectivity through a retail or digital channel.
- 02
The retailer provides clear terms and a supported purchase or redemption route.
- 03
The supplier fulfills and supports the eligible eSIM according to the agreed operating model.
IMPORTANT / PRACTICAL FIT
Retail scale comes with retail responsibilities
National postal operators and large retail networks may require point-of-sale integration, staff guidance, taxation review, consumer disclosures and tender approval. Test a low-complexity digital path before committing to full nationwide checkout integration.
04 / QUESTIONS
THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER.
Is physical SIM-card inventory necessary?
Not for a digital eSIM offer. The retailer may still need a clear method for delivery, activation assistance and receipts.
Can the same offer work in stores and online?
It can be designed that way if the platform supports multiple channels, unique attribution and the required payment flow.
Does every phone support eSIM?
No. Device compatibility varies by model, region and network lock status. A compatibility check should be part of the customer journey.
Can a postal operator start with a pilot?
A limited digital or selected-branch pilot may reduce risk before larger operational integration.
