If you have an upcoming trip we would advise buying and installing eSIM before you travel, but make sure data roaming remains off until you wish to use the eSIM.
This article walks you through the necessary steps required to select and buy an eSIM.
Buying an eSIM
1. Go to the Uswitch eSIM homepage.
2. In the search box, start to type the country you require an eSIM for, in this example we will be purchasing a bundle for the United Kingdom > click Search.
3. Select how much data you need for your travels. In this example we are going to select a 1GB, £1.00 bundle.
4. From here, at the bottom right-hand side of the screen, click Buy Now.
5. Check your device is compatible, if it is then click the I confirm box shown on the bottom hand left side of the pop up > click Checkout.
6. Once you have checked that the correct order has been added to your cart, click Check out.
7. Purchase the eSIM.
The recently purchased eSIM is now displayed in the Manage your eSIMs section and is ready to install.
