I have a relative visiting from overseas for 3 weeks. Should I buy them a PAYG esim or a Pay Monthly esim? They will obviously need to keep their existing number after their trip has ended. Not quite sure what the difference is. Thanks

Hey @Slim ,

I’d suggest a Pay as you Go SIM as a Pay Monthly SIM requires a Credit Check.

Thanks.

I bought the PAYG esim, it was breeze to set up and they now have calls/data while in the UK.👍

strange that when I searched for esims for the UK, none of the traditional operators nor any of the MVNOs came up, just traveller specific esim companies, which are more expensive
