Using your eSIM in United Kingdom

It depends on how much data you want.

Every plan on this page prints its total, the days it lasts and the price you pay, so a few days in London and three weeks around Scotland are priced apart rather than guessed at.

In parts.

Service has gone in line by line, so some platforms and tunnels have it and some do not.

Download your route above ground and it stops mattering.

On the single track roads, through the glens and out on the islands it drops for long stretches, and we promise nothing finer than the country on the list.

Save your maps and your accommodation address before you leave Inverness or Fort William.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.

The Republic of Ireland is a separate country with its own networks, so check the coverage list on this page before you cross the border.

Mostly, with gaps in cuttings and tunnels.

The train company's own Wi-Fi is often slow and sometimes missing altogether, so your own data makes the delay announcements easier to follow.

No.

Paying with a card or a phone works without a connection.

You do need data to check a route in an app or to top up an Oyster card while you are out.

Your phone needs to support eSIM and be unlocked.

Check your model before you buy.

Check my phone

No.

Ryvo eSIMs are data only.

There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.

Yes.

Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.

Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.

It depends on the plan.

Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.

Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.

If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.

Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.

If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.

EE, Vodafone and Three are among the main networks here, and the list on this page says which of them your plan uses.

Signal falls away in the Highlands, across mid Wales and over the moors.

Citymapper beats a plain map app for London buses and tubes, and the National Rail app tends to know about a cancelled train before the platform board admits it.

What the Underground does line by line changes as the work goes on, and it is not something a plan can promise, so sort your route out above ground.

Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
