Does an eSIM work in Vereinigtes Königreich?

Yes. Our Vereinigtes Königreich plans connect to the country’s established mobile operators, so you get the same 4G and 5G service as a local prepaid customer in London, Edinburgh und Manchester and elsewhere. You need an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

How much data do I need for Vereinigtes Königreich?

For a week of maps, messaging, social media and occasional browsing, 3–5 GB is usually comfortable. Add more if you plan to make video calls, stream, or tether a laptop. We currently list 29 plans for Vereinigtes Königreich, so you can start small and buy again if you run out rather than overbuying up front.

When does my Vereinigtes Königreich eSIM start?

The validity period starts when the eSIM first registers on a network in Vereinigtes Königreich, not when you buy it. Install it at home over Wi-Fi and switch it on after you land — that way you lose none of the days you paid for.

Can I keep my own phone number?

Yes. The eSIM is a second line: your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps receiving calls and SMS, including bank verification codes, while the eSIM carries the data. Turn data roaming off on your home line so it cannot bill you in the background.

Do WhatsApp and my usual apps work?

They work as normal. This is a data plan, so anything that runs over the internet — WhatsApp, Google Maps, ride-hailing, email, streaming — behaves exactly as it does at home, and your accounts stay signed in because your phone number does not change.

Can I share the connection with a hotspot?

On plans that list hotspot support, yes — the plan page says so before you buy. It is the usual way to get a laptop or a travelling companion online without a second eSIM.

Which phones support eSIM?

iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z and Note models, among others. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Our device list has the full set — check it before buying if you are unsure.

Vereinigtes Königreich eSIM

Name: Vereinigtes Königreich eSIM
Brand: eSIM Thunder

Getting online in Vereinigtes Königreich used to mean queueing for a SIM card and handing over your passport. An eSIM does the same job digitally: choose a plan, install it in about two minutes, and it switches on when you arrive.

Coverage in Vereinigtes Königreich

Our Vereinigtes Königreich plans run on the country’s established mobile operators, which is why coverage in London, Edinburgh und Manchester and around London is the same 4G and 5G service a local subscriber gets. Signal follows the population, as it does everywhere: cities and main roads are well served, and remote areas depend on the operator your plan connects to. The exact network is shown on each plan before you buy.

Choosing a Vereinigtes Königreich data plan

There are 29 plans for Vereinigtes Königreich on sale right now, in 100 MB, 300 MB, 500 MB, 1 GB, 1.5 GB und 2 GB sizes and valid for 1–365 days. Pick by trip length first and data second: a week of maps, messaging and the occasional upload is comfortable on a few gigabytes, while video calls home or tethering a laptop will move you up a tier. Every plan is prepaid, so there is nothing to cancel and no bill after you leave.

Installing your Vereinigtes Königreich eSIM

After checkout you get a QR code by email and in your account. Scan it from your phone’s mobile-data settings while you are still on Wi-Fi — installation needs a connection, which is exactly what you will not have on arrival. The profile then sits dormant on your phone until you reach Vereinigtes Königreich and switch it on. Install before you fly; the plan itself starts when the network first registers you, not when you buy.

What to expect on the ground

The local currency is GBP and the main languages are English, so translation and payment apps are usually the first things travellers reach for — both are light on data. Keep your home number reachable for bank verification codes: the eSIM carries the data and your original SIM stays active for SMS on the same handset. Hotspot sharing works on the plans that list it, which covers a laptop or a travelling companion without a second purchase.

Travelling beyond Vereinigtes Königreich

If Vereinigtes Königreich is one stop on a longer route through Western Europe, a regional plan usually costs less than buying a separate eSIM at each border, and it stays installed as you cross. If Vereinigtes Königreich is the whole trip, a single-country plan is almost always the cheaper of the two.
