Competitive Analysis - User Journey Map

By studying competitors' eSIM trial experiences, it helps us identify user's actions and touchpoints throughout different stages of the experience.

We utilized user journey map as a guidance and methodology to design the test drive user experience and find opportunities.

From the studies, we identify five stages of the user journey: Awareness, Consideration, Decision, Use and Loyalty
