Sineli Telecoms Launches Detty December eSIM Initiative to Ease Travel Connectivity Challenges

Sineli Telecoms has launched a seasonal connectivity initiative aimed at easing mobile data challenges faced by travellers during the December peak travel period, widely referred to as Detty December.

The initiative comes as international travel volumes surge during the festive season, a time when many travellers encounter connectivity difficulties immediately upon arrival. Common challenges include high roaming charges, unreliable public Wi-Fi, and delays associated with purchasing physical SIM cards.

According to the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sineli Telecoms, Ayo Afonja, the initiative was designed to respond to a recurring pain point within the global travel ecosystem.

“December is one of the busiest travel periods globally, and it consistently exposes how difficult it can be for travellers to stay connected immediately after landing,” Afonja said. “Reliable connectivity has become a basic travel expectation, yet it is still not guaranteed in many destinations.”

As part of the Detty December initiative, Sineli Telecoms provided complimentary 1GB eSIM data packages to up to 100 travellers at no cost. This allowed recipients to access mobile data instantly upon arrival, without relying on roaming plans or purchasing physical SIM cards.

The service was delivered using eSIM technology, which enables digital activation of mobile data, often before departure. At the time of the initiative, Sineli Telecoms supported connectivity in more than 170 countries, allowing travellers to remain connected across multiple destinations through a single digital solution.

Afonja explained that the initiative was intended as a practical response to seasonal travel challenges rather than a traditional marketing effort.

“If we can remove even one point of friction during peak travel, it significantly improves the overall travel experience,” he added.

The initiative reflects a broader shift within the travel-tech sector, where mobile connectivity is increasingly regarded as essential travel infrastructure rather than an optional service.

As global travel continues its recovery and peak travel periods become more concentrated, solutions that simplify digital connectivity are expected to play a growing role in shaping seamless travel experiences.
