_{Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)}

How to get an EE eSIM?

If you're a UK resident with an EE contract, you can get an eSIM (on bill pay) directly from EE. However the best way to get a prepaid eSIM—whether you're travelling or living here—is through Sim Local. We offer exclusive plans that aren't directly available from EE.

‍

Does EE support eSIM?

Yes, EE does support eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones are eSIM-compatible.

Sim Local partners with EE to deliver this service to anyone living or staying in the United Kingdom.

‍

Can I get an EE eSIM with unlimited data?

Yes! Sim Local offers an EE eSIM plan with unlimited data for anyone who needs unrestricted access. This plan includes unlimited data, unlimited local minutes and texts, plus international minutes, all valid for 30 days.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is simply a digital SIM card that can be downloaded directly to your phone without the need to swap out your physical SIM card. If you're new to eSIM technology, you'll find it offers many benefits for travellers compared to traditional physical SIM cards. Here are a few advantages:
‍

1. Instant activation upon arrival in the UK

No need to wait in line at a store or kiosk to get a travel SIM card. No more fumbling with ejector pins and SIM card trays. Your eSIM can be downloaded remotely and activated in your settings, so you'll be connected the moment your plane touches down at your destination.

‍

2. Free yourself of roaming charges

By using a local eSIM, you avoid the often exorbitant roaming fees charged by your home network provider, potentially saving you a ton of money.

3. Keep your home SIM card for incoming calls

eSIM technology allows for dual SIM functionality, meaning you can stay reachable on your home number while using local data.

4. Simple switching between plans

Manage multiple plans in the app and switch to a different plan with ease as you move from country to country.
