Best eSIM for UK travel from Pakistan

Whether you're visiting family in London, starting university in Manchester, or attending a business conference in Birmingham — having data the moment you land in the UK makes everything easier. From ordering an Uber at Heathrow to letting your relatives know you've arrived safely — you need internet. Here's how to get it.

Why UK roaming is so expensive

Since Brexit, most European carriers no longer include the UK in their free roaming zones. Pakistani carriers charge premium rates for UK data — typically Rs. 1,500-3,000 for just 1-2GB. That's barely enough for a day of maps and messaging. And once you exceed the limit, per-MB charges can rack up thousands of rupees before you even notice.

Our UK eSIM plans

We offer UK plans from 1GB to unlimited data, validity from 1 day to 30 days. All plans connect through major UK carriers including EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three — whichever has the strongest signal where you are, your phone will use it. 4G and 5G speeds are standard across all plans.

For most travellers, we recommend: 3-5GB for a weekend trip (maps, messaging, light browsing), 10GB for a 1-week trip (adds some video streaming and social media), 20GB for 2+ weeks or heavy data users.

For students: keep your PK number active

This is the biggest concern for Pakistani students heading to the UK. You need your Pakistani SIM to stay active for banking OTPs, WhatsApp, and calls from family. With an eSIM, this is simple: install the travel eSIM before departure, set your PK SIM as the default for calls and messages, set the UK eSIM for mobile data only. Both lines stay active simultaneously — you get UK data without losing access to your Pakistani number.

Coverage across the UK

Our eSIMs work across all of the UK — England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Coverage is excellent in all major cities (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff) and good across most towns and motorways. Very remote rural areas may have weaker signals, but that's true of all UK networks.
