**Five-star service when something went wrong** I don **Five-star service when something went wrong** I don't normally write a review before I have even used the product, but the service I received from UK Prepaid SIM Card deserves one. I managed to make two purchases of the same eSIM within about a minute after believing the first payment had failed. I contacted the company expecting the usual lengthy exchange of emails and perhaps several days before getting anywhere. Quite the opposite happened. They responded almost immediately, explained what had happened, located both orders and sent through both eSIM activation codes. When I then decided, because of their excellent service, to keep the second eSIM for myself rather than have it refunded, that was dealt with just as easily. I originally bought the eSIM for my 75-year-old wife, who is travelling from Australia to the UK on her own and gets understandably anxious about technology and having a working phone when she arrives. Knowing that everything can be installed and ready before she leaves is a considerable reassurance. Fast, friendly, human service from people who actually read the email and deal with the problem. Rather refreshing in an age when getting past a chatbot can sometimes be the greatest achievement of the day. Based on the customer service alone, an easy **five stars** from me. I'll happily update the review once we've used the eSIMs in the UK. Richard Morton

Seamless and practical travel solution I really appreciated being able to keep my own SIM card active while using the eSIM upon arrival in the UK. The activation process was smooth and hassle-free, making it an excellent choice for travelers. It was cost-effective and saved me the trouble of swapping SIM cards. The only downside was not being able to extend the eSIM for just an extra week, as our trip lasted five weeks. Still, I’d highly recommend this to anyone traveling overseas for its convenience and simplicity.

Super easy and convenient! Setting up an eSIM was a breeze! This was my first experience with an eSIM, and it was so much easier and more convenient than buying a local SIM after arriving—no hassle, no delays. Highly recommend it for anyone traveling or needing a quick, seamless solution.

I was really happy with my prepaid Sim Card. Was so easy to download and use as I am not tech savvy. I was able to keep in contact with my Family and Friends in Australia while I was travelling around the UK. I was there for just under a month and will definitely use this service again next time I travel to the UK.

Worked perfectly for our 5 week tour of Ireland & the UK. We activated both sims once we’d arrived in Ireland and were able to top-up once whilst travelling once we entered the UK. What was great was having not only plenty of data, but being able to make calls as and when needed. Definitely recommend this product for ease of implementation and a great price.

Perfect for a multi country Europe or UK trip! This is such a great service and provides so much peace of mind. I am very grateful I organised this in advance before our 5 week trip to Europe and UK. I ordered 3 separate 30 day sim cards, was rather pricy, but suited what we needed. We started two on our arrival date, then started the 3rd a bit later so we still had 1 active up until our departure date. Everything went smoothly, if you read the directions thoroughly it really helps. I emailled "UKPrepaidSimCard.com.au" twice with some queries and my questions were answered promptly and explained well. The only negative issue I encountered was once our plans expired I had no way of removing my details from the ThreeUK registry. I couldn't login to the ThreeUK app either as it requires text message on the number you want to login with. So its best to deactivate the app and contact ThreeUK ahead of time if you want your name and personal details deleted from thier data base. But otherwise this is a fantastic service! I highly recommend if you are travelling to multiple countries within Europe or UK.
Why our eSIM is different

Most travel eSIMs are data only. Ours includes a real UK number.

Many travel eSIMs only give you mobile data, without a phone number and no calls and texts. That can work for maps and browsing, but it can be limiting when you need calls and texts for bookings, local services, or verification codes while travelling.

Most travel eSIMs

Data only

No phone number

No calls and texts

Harder to use for bookings and local services

Often app-only support

Our UK & Europe eSIM & SIM

Real UK mobile number included

Unlimited UK and Europe calls and texts

Fast 5G/4G UK and Europe coverage

Instant eSIM or physical SIM

Set up before you fly

Australian support

Keep your Aussie SIM/eSIM turned on to receive one-time passwords

Why this matters: A real UK mobile number is important for bookings, local services, verification codes, rideshare apps, restaurant reservations, bag tags, hotels and travel changes while you are overseas. Imagine if your rental car breaks down in the south of France and you need to call for roadside assistance. Or your luggage is lost at Heathrow and you need to give a phone number to be called when your bags are found. Or tickets to that show get sent by SMS to your phone.
