United Kingdom eSIM for travellers
Data in United Kingdom, from the moment you land
London, Edinburgh or the countryside: get data from Heathrow or Gatwick arrivals, and keep using it on the train, the Tube and in the Scottish Highlands.
Choose your plan
Unlimited: 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 512 kbps for the rest of the day.
Prices will be shown at launch. Leave your email at checkout and we'll tell you the day we open.
Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for United Kingdom
- Most London transport takes contactless bank cards and phone wallets, so you don't need an Oyster card, but you do need your phone working.
- The Tube has signal in most central stations and many tunnels; still, download train tickets before going underground.
- Highlands and national parks have gaps in coverage. Download offline maps before long drives.
United Kingdom eSIM questions
Does the UK plan work in Ireland?
Northern Ireland, yes. The Republic of Ireland is a separate country: take the Europe plan, which covers both.
Will it work in the Channel Tunnel?
Coverage inside the tunnel depends on the network. Expect a gap of about 20 minutes and plan downloads before boarding.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in United Kingdom. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
