United Kingdom eSIM

Use it to be online from the moment you land: maps, WhatsApp and signing in to your UKVI account for your eVisa. For the rest of your course, get a UK SIM with a UK number for day-to-day life.

No, it is data only, so there are no SIM-swap or registration steps. Keep your home number on your main SIM for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp over the eSIM data. Here is how to keep your WhatsApp number.

The validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in United Kingdom, not when you buy it. Install it before you travel, then switch the eSIM line and data roaming on when you land.

Yes. Hotspot and tethering are allowed, so you can share data with a laptop or family members.

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Look for an EID in Settings → General → About on iPhone (on many phones, dialling *#06# shows it too). Carrier-locked phones, including most JV iPhones, usually cannot add another network’s eSIM. See eSIM phones in Pakistan.

Pay in rupees with JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank transfer and upload the receipt. Your QR code arrives on WhatsApp and email within 6 hours of the payment being confirmed.
