What will my phone number be?

Unfortunately as the UK & Europe eSIM is a data-only eSIM, it doesn't come with a traditional phone number for voice calls or SMS. Instead, it provides high-speed data connectivity for browsing the web, using apps, and staying connected online while you're in UK and/or Europe.

How do I check My Data Balance?

We usually recommend using your device settings to check your data balance for the UK & Europe eSIM. Unfortunately, aside from this method, there are no other ways to check your data balance. Depending on your device type, please use the following steps:

iOS: Settings > Mobile > under Mobile Data for your [UK & Europe eSIM name] > Current Period

Android: Settings > Connections > Data usage or Mobile data usage

Pixel: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network or Data usage

Can I recharge my eSIM?

The UK & Europe eSIM is designed as a single-use eSIM and cannot be recharged or extended once it has been activated. If you need to extend your data connectivity beyond the initial duration, you will need to purchase a new eSIM for the desired duration.

 

Which countries does this eSIM work in?

The UK & Europe eSIM Card is specifically designed for use in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom. It provides high-speed data connectivity within these destinations, allowing travelers to stay connected while visiting these countries. If you plan to travel to other countries, you may need to purchase a separate eSIM card or make alternative arrangements for connectivity in those destinations.

 

How do my family and friends call and message me?

Since the UK & Europe eSIM is a data-only eSIM, your family and friends won't be able to call or text you using a traditional phone number. Instead, they can communicate with you through internet-based messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or email. You can share your contact details or preferred messaging app username with them to stay in touch during your time in UK and/or Europe.

 

What happens if I am travelling for longer than the Service Days I purchased?

If you are travelling for longer than the duration covered by the UK & Europe eSIM, you will need to purchase another eSIM for the additional days you need. This allows you to continue enjoying high-speed data connectivity during your extended stay in UK and/or Europe.
