Melon Mobile is continuing to spearhead the digital innovation of mobile services on our shores with now their launch of two new (In-App) features – Melon eSIM and Family Plans. These offerings cement their commitment to break free from a traditional in-store retail approach, to give the consumer freedom, control and value through an entirely digital journey.
eSIM
- eSIM is now available on the Melon Mobile App.
- Melon offers a truly digital eSIM experience whereby you can be up and running within 5 minutes without the need to visit a store.

Calvin Collett, Founder and CEO of Melon Mobile, envisions a mobile future without the constraints of physical stores, stating, “eSIM is another step towards a truly digital mobile company. Our customers now have the choice to use our service over eSIM or physical SIM, or even have a Melon eSIM as a secondary SIM to take advantage of our Data & Voice prices – especially when they are locked into long term contracts they can’t get out of.”
Family Plans
