UK eSIM guide: data from Heathrow to the Highlands

Mind the gap — and mind the roaming charge your EU phone plan quietly added after Brexit.

When you land

Since the UK left the EU, many European phone contracts charge roaming there again. A UK travel eSIM avoids that and puts you online from the moment you leave the Heathrow Express.

Networks and coverage

Our UK plans connect to O2, EE and Three, the country's major networks, covering London, Manchester, Edinburgh and most of the map. The Scottish Highlands and some rural valleys have patchier signal.

How much data?

City trips with maps, journey planners and messaging use around 2–3GB a week. Streaming on trains or working remotely needs 10GB or more.

Quick answers

Does my EU roaming cover the UK?

Not always — many EU operators now charge extra in the UK. Check your contract, or use a UK eSIM.

Does the UK plan cover Ireland?

No, Ireland is a separate country. A Europe regional plan covers both.
