MANAMA — Leading digital enabler stc Bahrain has officially relaunched rova, its dedicated travel electronic SIM (eSIM) mobile application, introducing an upgraded user experience and expanded platform features engineered to streamline international connectivity while unlocking lifestyle benefits for travelers.
Available across iOS and Android through the Apple App Store and Google Play to both stc Bahrain subscribers and customers on external networks, the upgraded rova platform introduces a reusable lifetime eSIM profile that customers only need to install once per year. Following initial setup, travelers can purchase and activate localized, regional, or global mobile data packages covering more than 190 countries without replacing their physical SIM cards or scanning new quick response (QR) codes prior to each individual trip, while keeping their primary domestic phone numbers active for voice calls.
The redesigned platform streamlines trip management and accelerates repeat data package purchases, giving users heightened visibility and real time control over their roaming connectivity throughout international journeys.
Expanding its value proposition beyond mobile connectivity, rova now integrates lifestyle rewards and merchant promotions directly within the application, enabling travelers to access and redeem in app deals and discounts across partner restaurants, cinemas, and hotels. Furthermore, users can purchase discounted digital gift cards for major international mobility, dining, hospitality, and e commerce platforms including Uber, Uber Eats, Airbnb, and Amazon UAE. The relaunch reflects stc Bahrain’s ongoing strategy to evolve rova beyond a conventional travel eSIM utility into a unified digital travel companion supporting customers before, during, and across future trips.
