en.Wedoany.com Reported - We 2 Stars, one of Ghana's licensed international operators, today announced the launch of AkwaabaSIM, a travel eSIM solution for travelers to and from Ghana, Africa, and around the world, in partnership with BTS and ZIM Connections. This product marks We 2 Stars' entry into the retail connectivity market and makes it the first operator in Ghana to launch such a travel eSIM service.

Akwaaba means "welcome" in a local Ghanaian language, reflecting the service's goal of making travel connectivity easier and more convenient. AkwaabaSIM is now live and commercially available, allowing travelers to obtain an eSIM before departure and stay connected without needing to purchase or replace a physical SIM card. The service is powered by ZIM Connections' digital travel eSIM platform and enabled by BTS. We 2 Stars CEO Richard Asare stated that ZIM Connections is honored to provide platform support for AkwaabaSIM, helping to launch its branded travel eSIM experience, and that the platform enables partners to quickly bring services to market with the flexibility to expand across destinations and customer segments.

AkwaabaSIM allows users to search, purchase, and activate travel eSIM plans through a seamless digital experience. The service primarily targets three user groups: Ghanaians traveling abroad, tourists visiting Ghana, and international travelers seeking simple and flexible connectivity. ZIM Connections Co-founder and COO Giulia Acchioni Mena noted that the partnership has evolved from a voice relationship into a broader collaboration focused on innovation and new services. BTS Vice President for Africa Javier Mariscal stated that AkwaabaSIM is a strong example of how BTS helps operators move beyond traditional wholesale voice to create new revenue growth opportunities.

This launch builds on the existing collaboration between We 2 Stars and BTS in the international voice sector, extending the partnership into new digital service areas. The service is now live and commercially available, with plans to launch promotional campaigns through digital channels and influencers across Africa, including the use of promo code AKWAABA1, offering users a 10% discount.
