Collection: United Kingdom eSIM

For plenty of Australians, the United Kingdom is less a holiday and more a homecoming — catching up with family in Manchester, ticking off London's museums and West End shows, or road-tripping the Cotswolds and the Scottish Highlands. Whether you're over for summer festival season or a wintry Christmas-markets trip, a prepaid UK eSIM has you connected the moment you land at Heathrow, with no airport SIM queue and no roaming bill shock.

Why an eSIM for the United Kingdom

• Sorted before you leave: your eSIM arrives by email as a QR code straight after purchase, so you can set it up at home in Australia.
• Online from touchdown: scan before you fly and your data activates on landing — handy for the Tube, train bookings and finding your hotel.
• Reliable data: 4G/5G on partner networks where available, for maps, messages and video calls home.
• Keep your Aussie number: run the eSIM alongside your Australian SIM in dual-SIM mode, so bank codes and calls still reach you.
• Stay in control: track live data usage in the ESIMStore app (iPhone and Android) and top up whenever you need more.

How it works

Pick a plan from $8 AUD and check out online. Your eSIM lands in your inbox as a QR code — scan it before you fly. When you touch down in the UK, your data switches on and you're away. New to eSIMs? Our how it works guide walks you through setup step by step, and our Australian-based support team is on hand if anything trips you up.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in the United Kingdom?

Yes — as long as it supports eSIM and is unlocked. Most iPhones from the XS onwards are eSIM-compatible, and most phones bought outright in Australia are already unlocked. If yours is on a carrier plan, check it's unlocked before you fly.

Can I keep my Australian number while I'm in the UK?

Yes. The UK eSIM runs alongside your Australian SIM in dual-SIM mode, so your Aussie number stays active for calls and texts — including bank verification codes — while all your data goes through the eSIM.

What if I use up my data before I fly home?

You can top up without buying a new plan. The ESIMStore mobile app for iPhone and Android shows your live data usage, so you'll see a top-up coming well before you run out.
