JetSimly · 2026-10-20 · Last updated: 2026-10-22
In the United Kingdom a JetSimly eSIM uses the EE and 3 networks (4G/5G). All plans can be topped up.
Plans
- Fixed-data: 1 GB / 7 days, 3 GB / 30 days, 5 GB / 30 days, 10 GB / 30 days, 20 GB / 30 days, 50 GB / 30 days and 50 GB / 180 days.
- Daily: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. You get 3 GB a day at full speed; after that the speed drops to 1 Mbps, and the allowance resets about every 24 hours; the exact time can vary.
How to choose
First find out how much data you use in a day; the cellular data counter in your settings shows it. If you stay under 3 GB, a fixed-data plan is enough. If you use maps, video and hotspot often, a daily plan is more comfortable; a 7-day plan gives 21 GB in total at full speed. Hotspot is on every plan and no ID is needed. The plan starts when you first connect to a network in the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom is part of the Europe (33 countries) plan (Europe guide). If you are also visiting Ireland, there is an Ireland & United Kingdom plan too. All plans: United Kingdom eSIM.
Frequently asked questions
Does hotspot work?
Yes, hotspot is on every plan.
What happens when the data runs out?
On a fixed-data plan the connection stops when the data runs out; you can add data or days before the plan ends. On a daily plan the speed drops to 1 Mbps once the allowance is used, and the allowance resets about every 24 hours; the exact time can vary.
Does the United Kingdom eSIM also work in Ireland?
No, this plan is for the United Kingdom only. If you are visiting Ireland as well, there is an Ireland & United Kingdom plan and the Europe (33 countries) plan.
Can I install the eSIM before I travel?
Yes. The plan starts the first time you connect to a network in the United Kingdom.
