Description
Brexit didn't change the eSIM experience for visitors, but EU SIMs no longer roam free in the UK — a dedicated UK plan saves you from surprise GBP roaming charges. Install before you fly, activate when you land at Heathrow or Edinburgh.
After purchase, your Globalia eSIM details are delivered digitally. Install before you travel, then connect to a fast and stable internet connection in United Kingdom.
It's connectivity that fits your needs
Tourists exploring London, Edinburgh, and the Scottish Highlands; business travellers shuttling between offices in London and Manchester; weekend break travellers from continental Europe.
Stay connected everywhere
Data, phone numbers, international calls and SMS. All in one app.
One balance for everything
Top up once and use your credits for data, calls, and SMS.
Single Global eSIM
Roams onto EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three — between them, 99%+ population coverage. EE is generally the fastest in central London; Vodafone the most reliable in rural Scotland and Wales.
Local tip
London Underground stations have Wi-Fi on the platforms, but no cell service in tunnels between stations. Download offline Maps before the Tube.
Connection information
How does Globalia eSIM work?
Data plans and pay as you go use a single global eSIM, so you do not need to install a new eSIM for every country.
How does my data plan activate?
Activation timing depends on the selected United Kingdom plan. Check its Starts field before checkout: validity may begin at purchase, installation, or first supported-network connection.
What happens when my data plan expires?
You can add another plan or switch to your available Globalia balance when pay as you go is enabled.
Can I make calls with Globalia?
Yes. Calls are handled through Globalia Credits and work alongside your data plan.
Can I use data plans for calls?
Data plans are for mobile data. Calls and SMS use Globalia Credits or Globalia Numbers.
