Traveling to UK

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
