Seprate esim and roaming on s22+

Paul655 · ‎07-06-2025

Hello,

I've recently purchased a separate esim from a diffrent company that auto switches networks within the UK when I have bad signal.

My issue is I have to have roaming turned on at all times to use this esim. I'm worried that I will get charged for roaming on my ee sim when using ee data, I'm not leaving the UK so I don't know if I will get charged or not with roaming on. With Samsung you can't select each sim to have roaming so they both have to have roaming on at all times.

Will I get charged roaming prices whilst still in the UK with roaming on and using data through my ee sim?

Many thanks!

If you don't leave the UK you won't be roaming on your EE SIM. So you can't be charged for roaming by EE. Roaming is only when you use your UK SIM while abroad.

You won't be turning roaming ON to use this eSIM. It's Roaming Data you'll be turning ON.

Whilst true, a "be aware" is when you are in a border location where foreign networks can be picked up and crucially, if EE doesn't have coverage.

Whilst there are no roaming charges for Ireland, be aware that the Isle of Man, France & Channel Islands all have their own networks which can sometimes be picked up from the UK mainland.
