Travel Data eSIMs for Business and Leisure
Stay connected abroad with travel data eSIM options for business trips, holidays, remote working and international travel. A travel data eSIM is added to your compatible handset as an additional digital SIM profile, allowing you to use mobile data abroad while keeping your existing UK SIM in place.

Travel Data eSIM vs UK SIM Roaming Costs
Using mobile data abroad on your normal UK voice and data SIM can sometimes lead to daily roaming charges, out-of-bundle data costs or unexpected bills, especially outside your inclusive roaming zone. A travel data eSIM gives you a separate data option for your trip, helping you choose your data allowance and duration before you travel.
⚠️
Using Your Normal UK SIM Abroad
- Roaming charges depend on your UK network, tariff and destination
- Some destinations may trigger daily roaming fees or out-of-bundle data charges
- Costs can be harder to predict if you use more data than expected
- Your UK SIM remains responsible for roaming data charges if mobile data roaming is left switched on
