Sim deals for in-store purchased sim card

Hey all.
I'm in need of a cheap sim deal but I'll not have time to wait for delivery. So is anyone aware of a decent deal I can use on one of those sim's which you can buy from the supermarkets?

As far as I'm aware the Lebara offers can only be ordered online? Or can they be added to an existing (new) sim card?

Thanks in advance for any help

    The Lebara deals are no good for you. You can't put the offer on another SIM you got elsewhere.

    Does your phone not support eSIM? That would be a good way of instantly downloading an introductory offer from one of the other networks.

    It doesn't have eSIM unfortunately, my old phone does have eSIM from Lyca (old phone is broken) hence why I can't just transfer the sim over

    The mention of disappointment with not being able to promptly buy & activate a Lebara sim implies OP is OK with Voda signal,
    in which case buy a Voxi sim in supermarket, corner shop, etc and choose a package to immediately apply to it online.
    Current example: £12 for 60GB + unlim social media & music plus unlim UK mins / text
    voxi.co.uk/sim…ans

    Obviously gross overkill if OP only wants to send one text a month, but OP hasn't stated allowance expectations.

    As you can use vodaphone, but time is urgent, then an asda Sim (50p) plus minimum top up for a month (£5?), and order your lebara Sim. You could port the asda number, so there would be no need to tell people twice of a change.
    But how critical is the time, as Lebara rarely take more than 2 days, not inc Sunday.

    Voxi
    You can purchase a SIM card and then load what ever plan you want from their website. Not sure what data ect your after but I know they currently have 300gb data for £20 and if your quick you can also get a free Costa worth up to £3.80 using Voxi drop. Oh and if you know a student you also get the first month free.
