Hello,
I currently use an EE prepaid SIM card with my existing phone number, and I am planning to purchase an eSIM-only iPhone from Japan while I am abroad.
Before buying the device, I wanted to ask a few questions to make sure everything would work correctly with EE in the UK and during my travel between the UK and Turkey.
My questions are:
Can I convert my current EE prepaid physical SIM into an eSIM while keeping the same phone number?
Is there any fee for converting from a physical SIM to eSIM?
Will an eSIM-only iPhone purchased from Japan work normally on the EE network in the UK?
Are there any restrictions or compatibility issues I should know about with Japanese iPhones on EE?
Would I still be able to use my EE number normally while travelling between the UK and Turkey?
I would also appreciate some advice regarding EE plans and pricing.
Since I am a student and travel internationally quite often between the UK and Turkey, I wanted to ask:
Which EE plans or packs would you recommend for someone in my situation?
Are there any good-value prepaid or monthly options that support eSIM and international usage?
Approximately how much would the recommended plans cost per month?
Do any plans include roaming or affordable usage while travelling?
Would you personally recommend staying on prepaid or switching to another EE option for an eSIM-only phone?
I mainly use data, messaging, hotspot occasionally, and international travel is important for me.
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate any recommendations or guidance before purchasing the device.
Kind regards,
Ege Özgüven
