Most modern smartphones from iPhone XS/XR onwards, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and Google Pixel 3+ support eSIM. You can install your United Kingdom eSIM simply by scanning the QR code we send to your email in your phone's Cellular/Mobile Data settings. -
How to buy and activate the United Kingdom eSIM? Is it active immediately?
You can purchase it directly on our website. It is not active immediately upon purchase; the validity period only starts when you arrive in United Kingdom and your phone connects to the local network. -
What is an activation QR code? Does it expire? Can it be reused?
The QR code is your digital SIM profile for the United Kingdom eSIM. It typically needs to be installed within 30 days of purchase. Once installed, it cannot be scanned again or transferred to another device. -

Is your 'Unlimited Data' plan truly unlimited? Is there a Fair Usage Policy (FUP)?
Our Unlimited plans provide continuous data. However, like all global carriers, a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) applies to prevent network abuse. If you consume an exceptionally high amount of data in a short period, speeds may be temporarily reduced. Even so, it will not affect your web browsing, social media usage, watching videos, etc. -
Can I share my United Kingdom eSIM data (hotspot) with other devices?
Absolutely. All our United Kingdom eSIM plans support mobile hotspot and tethering, allowing you to share your data with your laptop, tablet, or travel companions. -
What are the advantages of your United Kingdom eSIM compared to local SIM cards or other providers?
Unlike physical SIM cards, you don't need to queue at the airport or swap small plastic cards. We partner directly with top local networks in United Kingdom, such as Vodafone, EE, O2, to ensure premium speeds at a fraction of roaming costs. -
How do you compare with well-known eSIM providers like Ubigi, Holafly, Airalo, Klook, Saily, and Gigsky?
Roami focuses on providing the most cost-effective UK eSIM for travelers, with flexible short-term plans starting from $1.99/GB – ideal for tourists on 3–15 day trips. Unlike many competitors that use 30‑day billing cycles (e.g., EE, Vodafone, O2 prepaid), Roami offers true day‑based plans, saving you up to 70% on unused data. We accept global payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal) with no hidden fees, and provide 24/7 English‑speaking customer support. While great providers like Ubigi, Holafly, Airalo, Klook, Saily, and Gigsky offer reliable services, Roami’s automatic price‑matching and direct partnerships with Vodafone, EE, and O2 ensure you get the best value without compromising on quality or coverage.
