For many African students studying abroad, one of the first challenges they face upon arrival is how to stay connected. International roaming is expensive, local SIM registration can be time-consuming, and public Wi-Fi is rarely reliable. This was exactly the case for a Ghanaian student who recently moved to Canada for university.
Instead of relying on traditional methods, she opted for a digital solution—an eSIM from Prestmit—and it changed her entire experience.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a programmable SIM that comes built into modern smartphones. It doesn’t require any physical card to be inserted. With just a QR code, users can activate a mobile data plan from anywhere in the world.
