Frequently asked questions
Will my phone work with a United Kingdom eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our United Kingdom eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the United Kingdom eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network in United Kingdom, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the United Kingdom eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The United Kingdom eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps, and apps keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in United Kingdom?
Yes, all our United Kingdom plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in United Kingdom?
You can buy a new plan for United Kingdom at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the United Kingdom eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded.
