Best eSIM Ready Plan

In the UK, it can be useful having an eSIM for your mobile phone. For instance, having an eSIM will allow you to use dual-SIM functionality on newer iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel smartphones. This will allow you to have two phone numbers and two plans on your phone at the same time (e.g. both your work phone number and your personal phone number on the same device).

With eSIM, you can also benefit from greater flexibility and lower prices when you travel abroad. This is because the eSIM plan may give you cheaper international roaming than on your regular SIM card.

At present, Lyca Mobile and Vodafone are our recommended networks if you’re looking for an eSIM plan in the UK:

Unfortunately, eSIM support is still fairly limited on other UK mobile networks. Many networks require you to get a physical SIM card first, before you’re able to convert it for an eSIM at a later date. In addition, eSIM functionality may be restricted to only certain types of plan (e.g. to Pay Monthly contracts).

If you choose a plan from EE, giffgaff, O2, Sky Mobile or Three, you’ll initially be sent a plastic SIM card in the post. You’ll then need to exchange your plastic SIM card for an eSIM.

How To Order & Set Up An eSIM

If you’re joining Lyca Mobile or Vodafone, you’ll be able to order an eSIM online to start using straight away. Simply choose the “eSIM” option during checkout.

Order Lyca Mobile eSIM Plan →

Order a Vodafone eSIM Plan →

On the other mobile networks (EE, giffgaff, O2, Sky Mobile and Three), you won’t be able to order an eSIM straight away. This is mostly due to how their internal systems are set up, but also partly for security (so they can verify your address when the plastic SIM card is sent to you in the post).

If you’re sent a plastic SIM card to begin with, you can exchange it for an eSIM as soon as you get it. Just follow the steps below to do this:

  1. Start by ordering your new SIM-only deal. Make sure it’s an eSIM-ready plan before you order.
  2. A plastic SIM card will be sent to you in the post. Put the SIM card inside your mobile phone to activate the plan.
  3. You can now transfer your plan onto eSIM. You can normally request a replacement eSIM pack online, at a local store, or by calling the customer services team. In some cases, you might need to wait for an eSIM to be dispatched. In addition, it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for your plan to be moved onto an eSIM.
  4. Scan the QR code for the eSIM when you get it. Once your plan has been moved to an eSIM, you’ll be given a QR code that you can scan on your mobile phone. Alternatively, you might be able to download the eSIM through an app. This will install the eSIM onto your phone.

In the future, when the technology improves, it should be possible to sign up for a plan on any network and to receive it on an eSIM straight away. This would make it a lot faster and more convenient when switching to another network.
