Our eSIM for the United Kingdom gives you immediate access to high speed data without having to wait for (and pay for) the shipment of a physical SIM card. The eSIM works in all of the United Kingdom including England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Please note that while the eSIM is data only, you can make calls using apps as they run on data. Apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime and other apps work perfect but we also recommend Talkatone as it is a free app that allows you to call and text to the USA and Canada. You can even call landlines.
Select how much data you need for your UK trip and we will send you a QR code and instructions on how to activate the eSIM.
Please note that your cell phone, besides being eSIM compatible, must also be unlocked.
Here is how to check to see if your phone or iPad is unlocked and eSIM compatible. Go to:
– Settings
– General
– Information
– Carrier lock : you will see in this field “NO SIM restrictions” or “SIM restricted” which means it is unlocked.
In case your device is locked, contact your carrier and see if you qualify to have the device “unlocked” (you just need to provide its IMEI that you can find under the Settings or dial *#06# to display it on your screen).
