Our take on the UK eSIM

A digital SIM for the UK that you install by scanning a QR code or entering an SM-DP+ address and activation code. Plans run from 1 GB to unlimited data over 7 to 30 days, with 5G or LTE where the device and coverage allow. Data-only plans let you pick O2, Vodafone or Three; call plans use Vodafone and add a UK number, free incoming calls, SMS and 100 or 200 outgoing UK minutes. Hotspot is included on GB plans but not on Unlimited. It suits short trips and visitors who want a local UK connection without a physical SIM, and it covers Northern Ireland plus Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
