ISO a great 30 day eSim deal please!

Posted 31st May 2023
Hey guys!

Visiting the UK and Europe late June for about 10 days.

Looking for a good eSIM deal so I can hit the ground running, as far as connectivity goes!

Will probably use my phone as a hotspot also (would this work in Europe?), so a generous-ish data allowance would be great!

Spending most of my time in Newcastle (allegedly EE is best there, but it was as bad as the others when I tried it last time lol).

Any deals or leads much appreciated.

Thank you!

    Appreciate this, but for some reason no deals have the ESIM option

    If you want an eSIM for all of Europe including the UK then order a travel SIM from Orange.

    The benefit of this is that you’ll roam in every country at no extra cost meaning you’re not tied to a single network. You can use all 4 in the UK for example!

    travel.orange.com

    If you really want a UK SIM then Lyca is the only pay as you go option. And they run on the o2 network which is the worst in the UK and their data is straight up unusable in parts of Newcastle - Speaking from experience.

    Right, thanks for this!

    What is up with the shocking reception in Newcastle?
    Who would you recommend?

    Orange is quite expensive... (edited)

    Just a thought, you're asking for esim is that because you've got a regular SIM but your phone can also have an esim? If so what about converting your main number to esim if possible then the choice for a temporary holiday SIM would be loads better.

    I've used Keepgo before. They're not the cheapest but their data lasts the longest and there are various codes around to reduce the price. Their eSIM has access to all 4 UK networks but I did have some issues trying to manually switch networks on my iPhone 14. I had no issues with auto selecting a network. Their SIMs also allow data roaming in the EU.
