eSim for UK Visitor Login Issue

[highlandcow2026]

Hi there,

I am a tourist visiting the UK next week. I would like to order a 14-day travel eSim. 

1. Can I order the eSim in advance and activate it later? Or do the 14-days start at date of purchase?

2. How will I activate the eSim? I cannot log into my app because I do not have a UK phone number. I can only login on my laptop. I am hesitant to purchase the eSim if then I have difficulty accessing it from my app. 

Thank you!

@highlandcow2026 : 

1. After buying your eSIM, you'll have 90 days to start using it - see UK eSIM for visitors 
2. You may activate it online. It is aimed at users from overseas who won't necessarily have an EE a/c.
