Frequently asked questions

Does eSIM work in the UK?

Yes — Simply eSIMs run on the UK’s main local networks with speeds up to 5G where available. Install before you fly and activate on landing at Heathrow or Gatwick in seconds.

Does it work on the London Underground and outside the capital?

Yes — data works across most Tube stations, so navigation apps stay with you below ground. Beyond London, coverage is excellent in the cities and good on the main roads, thinning only in the deep Scottish countryside — download route maps ahead if you are heading north.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes — your primary SIM stays in place and receives calls and bank verification texts as usual, while your data flows through the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need for a UK trip?

London runs on your phone — transit, payments, bookings — so budget 1-2 GB per day for typical use, more if you share a lot of video. You can top up from the app anytime during the trip.
