@Lexus1984 If you’re using an eSIM in your device you can just put a local network sim in your phone and it’ll work. What phone are you using? As most phones support the use of 2 sims at the same time. This can be a physical sim and a eSIM.

@Lexus1984 No you don’t. You can switch off the eSIM so you don’t incur any additional charges from EE and just use a SIM card from a local network provider and then when your back remove that sim and just switch back on the eSIM.

You’ll find this in settings>cellular >sims
