Which networks does the United Kingdom eSIM use?
It uses O2, EE and 3, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Does it work on the London Underground?
In more and more of it. Most central London stations and tunnels now have 4G or 5G, and the Elizabeth line has it the whole way. Some stretches still don't, so load your route before you go down.
Can I pay for the Tube with my phone?
Yes. Tap your phone on the reader: Apple Pay and Google Pay work on the Tube, buses and most trains, with a daily cap. Paying doesn't use data, so it works underground too.
Does it work in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Yes, all of the UK. Signal gets patchy in the Scottish Highlands and islands. The Republic of Ireland isn't included: Ireland has its own eSIM, and the Europe eSIM covers both.
Does it work in Paris or the rest of Europe?
No, it's the UK only. For a trip across the Channel, the Europe eSIM covers the UK, France and 37 more countries on one plan.
When does my United Kingdom plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in the United Kingdom. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the United Kingdom eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every United Kingdom plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the United Kingdom eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
