YTL Communications’ Yes chooses Valid’s eSIM Solution for seamless User Experience

Madrid, Spain, January 17th, 2024 – Yes, a leading mobile network operator by YTL Communications in Malaysia, is spearheading a transformative journey towards a fully digital onboarding experience for its eSIM subscribers.

In a strategic move to redefine the eSIM activation process, Yes has partnered with Valid, a leading provider of interoperable eSIM services around the world. Through Valid’s eSIM provisioning and orchestration solutions, Yes now empowers its customers with a seamless eSIM activation process via its market-leveling MyYes application (available in both Android and iOS), eliminating the need for manual process or individual QR codes to be scanned.

Valid’s state-of-the-art Private Network Offering facilitates smooth and uninterrupted transitions for mobile devices and consumer IoT as they seamlessly switch between public and private networks. This is made possible through Valid’s Remote SIM Provisioning platform, which ensures a seamless and unbroken connection. By harnessing advanced eSIM technology, this solution provides secure management of transitions, enforces vital business rules at the network’s edge, and offers convenient remote management capabilities.

Embracing the Digital Onboarding Revolution

In the hyper-competitive mobile industry, offering customers a hassle-free, 100% digital experience is paramount. It is projected by Kaleido Intelligence that eSIM (and its successor iSIM) active connections will exceed 4.4 billion by 2028. As the leading all-digital techno in Malaysia, Yes correctly recognized the importance of using eSIM as a competitive lever and led the way in creating a 100% digital purchase and activation experience.

Yes’s selection of Valid as its partner for this transformation was natural. Valid brings an abundance of expertise to the table, not only providing eSIMs but also an entire suite of eSIM solutions from remote SIM provisioning to eSIM orchestration including digital onboarding, omnichannel eSIM activation and eSIM multi-sourcing. Valid’s robust technology empowers Yes to efficiently create, store, personalize, and download subscriber profiles onto eSIM devices, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for Yes customers, whether they are in Malaysia or abroad.

Driven by our commitment to deliver the best user experience for our customers, we are the first operator in Malaysia and the region to offer a 100% digital app based eSIM experience for our subscribers, instead of relying on QR codes which is cumbersome and risky. We are proud to pioneer this innovative approach in our market as we continuously seek to innovate and provide our customers with best-in-class solutions.” Stated Wing K. Lee, CEO of YTL Communications.
