Getting connected

Land first.
Then install.

  1. Before you fly

    Your setup details arrive by email.

    We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.

    Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.

  2. After you land

    Connect to Wi-Fi. Then install.

    Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.

    Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.

    Before you go onlineSelect your travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on Data Roaming for that eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM.

    Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.

Phone checkYour phone comes first.

Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.

For the journey

UK eSIM data for the journey

For London and Edinburgh, save station exits, hotel details and onward tickets so they remain available underground or between connections. If you are driving in the Highlands or other rural areas, check the selected plan’s supported network along the route and download offline maps before leaving Wi-Fi.

Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.

Compare the available plans

Data plansOne data allowance to use across the whole trip.

Day passesA set amount of high-speed data each day.

Choose fixed data for one allowance across the plan, or daily high-speed data for a fresh allowance at each reset. Compare the total price, reset time and reduced-speed terms before choosing.

Buy UK eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.

London, Edinburgh and the roads beyond

For London and Edinburgh, save station exits, hotel details and onward tickets so they remain available underground or between connections. If you are driving in the Highlands or other rural areas, check the selected plan’s supported network along the route and download offline maps before leaving Wi-Fi.

Check Ireland and the islands separately

Northern Ireland is part of the UK; check the chosen network’s local coverage there. For the Republic of Ireland, confirm that Ireland is included in the offer. The Channel Islands and Isle of Man also need an explicit coverage check rather than an assumption based on a UK label.

For London followed by Paris or another European stop, compare the current Europe range against your complete itinerary. More countries on the label is not automatically better value: compare the same data amount, validity and total price. A shared regional allowance does not reset at the border.

Daily high-speed options are day passes with a set high-speed amount each day. After that daily amount is used, speeds may reduce until the next daily reset.

These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.

Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
