GS25, T-Plus e-SIM Sales..."Self Activation with QR Code"

GS25 becomes the first convenience store in the industry to sell T-Plus 'e-SIM,' which allows the use of two numbers on an iPhone.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS25 announced on the 5th that it will be the first convenience store in the industry to sell T-Plus 'e-SIM,' which allows the use of two numbers on an iPhone.

The newly introduced e-SIM is a service that enables the activation of an additional number simply by scanning a QR code, instead of using a physical SIM card as in traditional phones.

The subscribed e-SIM uses the SKT network and offers six types of plans with no contract. The 1GB, 3GB, and standard plans can be used free of charge for 5 to 7 months. When activated through GS25 with an e-SIM, GS25 mobile gift certificates worth 10,000 to 20,000 KRW are provided depending on the plan.

A GS25 official stated, “The e-SIM, which was previously only available for purchase through the T-Plus Direct Mall in Korea, will now be exclusively sold offline at GS25 stores,” adding, “We will strive to provide differentiated services and benefits in the future.”
