PAYG vs eSIM
I have an EE PAYG SIM (and number) that I've managed to keep alive for more than 10 years.
Having taking an iPhone update in the past year, I now find myself with a phone that only takes eSIMs. Looking through the UK, it seems that PAYG + eSIM is a near impossible challenge, so far I've only found lyca mobile, but have no clue about them. Is there something I'm missing here? |
Re: PAYG vs eSIM
No, I found the exact same. It's very annoying, and I'm annoyed at myself for getting a US iPhone which doesn't have a sim tray (should have got one while visiting the UK or Canada). I am assuming that eventually some one will start doing PAYG eSIM, but not yet.

Same. Just bought a new phone - 'dual SIM' - except that really it's one 'real' SIM and one eSIM. My UK number is PAYG - so that is my physical SIM: just hoping that when I get back to the US that it works with my US provider (!) - which is not PAYG, but had issues in the past.

Re: PAYG vs eSIM
In what I can only describe as a very happy result, in LHR T5 the company "simLocal" offers an EE PAYG eSim (see photo!).
I chatted with the guy about this a bit, seemingly it's a simLocal airport-only special... note the simLocal/EE branding. I asked about keeping my existing physical SIM EE number but he couldn't do it and asked me to try a EE store. In the EE store in London, they don't sell these SIMs, and they can't transfer numbers to this PAYG eSim. (All they can offer to do is to convert a PAYG physical Sim to a monthly eSim...). Looks like I got a new number. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...f93c79ca4.jpeg |
