You do not get a new phone number with this eSIM.
Setting up your eSIM? The installation and activation guide walks through it step by step, and the full FAQ covers device compatibility, hotspot, dual SIM and topping up.
One plan covers England, Scotland and Wales, so a single eSIM handles London, Edinburgh, the Cotswolds and beyond. Scan the QR code before you fly, switch off airplane mode on arrival, and you are connected without a plastic SIM.
The eSIM activates when you turn off airplane mode at Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN) or Stansted (STN). Your Heathrow Express or Elizabeth line ticket, black-cab or rideshare app and maps are ready before you reach the Underground.
The plan uses the UK's main networks - EE, O2, Vodafone and Three - with 5G across the cities and solid 4G through the regions. Coverage is strong in towns and along motorways; the Scottish Highlands, the Lake District fells and rural Wales can thin out, so download offline maps for hill days.
Underground coverage is expanding fast: the Elizabeth line and a growing number of tunnelled sections across the Tube now have mobile signal, so live maps and transit apps work on more of your journey than ever. Above ground in London you are connected throughout.
Above ground you are connected everywhere. Underground, coverage is rolling out - the Elizabeth line and a growing number of Tube tunnel sections now have mobile signal, with more added over time.
Towns and main roads are well covered. Remote glens, fells and rural valleys can lose signal, as on any UK network, so download offline maps before heading into the hills.
No - this plan is for the United Kingdom only. Since Brexit, UK plans do not include EU roaming, so you would need a separate eSIM for Ireland or mainland Europe.
