Choosing an eSIM for the UK
These 58 plans use EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone; none uses Vodafone. Vodafone and Three merged into VodafoneThree in May 2025 but still run as two brands. Opensignal's January 2026 UK report (October to December 2025 data) gave EE the most awards, Three the fastest 5G speeds and O2 the best coverage experience.
None of these plans exits in the UK: 1 state an exit in Netherlands.
57 plans don't name a single exit country: some list France, the Netherlands or the UK as possible exits, others none. If you need a UK IP address, check “IP location” in the plan details before buying.
EE also sells its own data-only visitor eSIM, priced on its website. Plans here let you choose the network, and multi-country Europe plans cover the UK too if you're arriving from mainland Europe.
On the Tube, signal depends on the station, not on the eSIM: in June 2026 TfL said around 60% of underground stations had 4G and 5G on all four networks, with the whole network due by the end of 2026.
Visitors who don't need a visa, including US, Canadian, Australian and EU citizens (except Irish), need an ETA before travelling: £20 since 8 April 2026. See UK ETA.
United Kingdom eSIM networks compared
United Kingdom plans here use 4 local networks: EE, Three, O2, and Vodafone. Some plans stay on one network; others list several and connect to whichever has signal.

- Three 4G / 5G 50 plans · Per day / Total data
- O2 5G 43 plans · Per day / Total data

Signal depends on where you are. For a specific place, check the operator’s coverage map.
About eSIMs for United Kingdom
Do I need a UK phone number?
Whether a plan includes a UK number is in its details. EE's own visitor eSIM is data only as well.
Why does my plan list several networks?
A plan that lists EE and Three, or EE, O2 and Three, connects to whichever has signal where you are. Each plan's networks are in its details.
Which operators will my phone use in United Kingdom?
EE, O2, Three, Vodafone. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.
Where in United Kingdom can I use it?
Anywhere the plan’s networks have signal, including London, Edinburgh, Manchester; rural and mountain areas depend on local coverage.
Is 5G supported?
Yes. Operators here are listed with 4G / 5G; each plan's networks show which.
What happens when the data runs out?
It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 500 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.
When does the validity start?
It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.
Can I use a hotspot to share data in United Kingdom?
21 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.
Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?
No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.
Can I top up data or extend validity?
Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.
Are these prices tax inclusive?
Yes. The listed price is the final price.
