The physical sim will be in our phone in the uk.</P><P>Thank you&nbsp;</P> Fri, 21 Jun 2024 09:57:44 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/E-sim-abroad/m-p/1399240#M46975 amanchungh 2024-06-21T09:57:44Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/E-sim-abroad/m-p/1399250#M46976 <P>It is unlikely this will work.</P> <P>New SIMs usually need activating in the UK, the roaming permissions to enable access to foreign networks may also be reset.
