Traveling to UK

mav0126 — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:14:00 GMT

Traveling to UK for vacation. We would like to get the pay-as-you-go 30 day plan. Can you use an eSIM with this plan or do you need a physical SIM card? If you need a physical SIM card, how can you get it other than going to a store?

Thanks.

Hi @mav0126

No eSIM on EE PAYG.

You can pick up a SIM from the airport, most supermarkets.

However if you want an eSIM then consider services such as https://saily.com or other travel services as they will likely better meet your needs.

Thanks

You can buy a standard phone PAYG SIM online from EE pay as you go SIM but only as a physical SIM.
However you can buy UK eSIM for visitors
