What to know before you land

Brexit didn't change the eSIM experience for visitors, but EU SIMs no longer roam free in the UK — a dedicated UK plan saves you from surprise GBP roaming charges. Install before you fly, activate when you land at Heathrow or Edinburgh.

Best for: Tourists exploring London, Edinburgh, and the Scottish Highlands; business travellers shuttling between offices in London and Manchester; weekend break travellers from continental Europe.

Local tip: London Underground stations have Wi-Fi on the platforms, but no cell service in tunnels between stations. Download offline Maps before the Tube.

Install and activate safely

  1. Confirm that your phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM.
  2. Install the QR code while you still have reliable Wi-Fi.
  3. Keep the eSIM switched off until the plan instructions say to activate it.
  4. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line if instructed.
  5. Keep your home SIM active only if you need calls or texts, and disable its data roaming.
