Hello,

 

I currently have a UK mobile number with another provider on a physical SIM, but I am abroad for a few months, and it has stopped working. I am considering transferring my number to your service so I can generate an eSIM, as the current provider does not support this.

 

Before proceeding, I need to confirm: will I be able to activate the eSIM from abroad, or does activation require being in the UK? This is particularly urgent for me as I have all my banking and sensitive accounts linked to this number.

 

Thank you for your guidance and prompt response.

Regards,

Magdalena

Hi ​@Magdalena Kardasz,

Welcome to the Community!

eSIM’s can be activated abroad they just need to have Wi-Fi coverage to activate it.

I hope this helps.
