eSIM for United Kingdom — 7-day plans 🇬🇧
A 7-day eSIM for the UK (ISO GB) is ideal for short-term tourism, business trips, or airport transit layovers up to a week. The validity clock starts the moment you activate the plan via the QR code—not at purchase—and runs for 168 consecutive hours. If your trip extends beyond that window, simply buy and activate a new eSIM on the same device.

FAQ
Does this eSIM work immediately after scanning the QR code?
Yes, activation begins as soon as you scan the QR code and complete the profile installation on a compatible, unlocked eSIM device. Data usage then starts counting against the 7-day window.
Can I activate the eSIM before my flight to the UK?
You may install the profile ahead of time, but the 7-day validity does not start until the first time you connect to a mobile network in the UK. Activating earlier just stores the profile on your device.
What happens if my stay in the UK is 10 days instead of 7?
After the 168-hour window expires, your data stops working. To continue, purchase a new eSIM plan for the remaining days—you can install it on the same device without needing a new QR code each time.
Is this eSIM suitable for a layover or transit in the UK?
Yes, for layovers under 24 hours the plan provides more than enough data. However, since it covers a full 7 days, you may find a shorter plan cheaper if you only need a few hours of connectivity.
Can I share data from this eSIM to other devices (hotspot)?
Hotspot/tethering functionality depends on your device’s operating system and the specific eSIM profile—most modern smartphones allow it, but we cannot guarantee every model will support sharing. Check your settings after activation.
