iPhone 12 Pro Max - UK eSIM

[danb1979]

Just wanted to see if there's anyone on here from the UK that uses a non-EE eSIM in their iPhone 12 Pro Max?

I'm with Three (business) and GiffGaff (personal) and currently neither offer eSIM

I'd be looking to move my personal SIM to an eSIM as all that's used for is calls & texts; my business SIM is with Three and has 10GB data monthly & it's 5G etc; so that'll always be my data SIM

The only option I can see so far is this company: https://www.esim.net/uk

Does anyone use them, any issues or does it all work as it should?

Any other options?

Cheers 👍🏼

I was just about to post the same question. I’ve just bought a new iPhone and found that Three won’t allow me to move my current eSim to the new phone! Looking at other networks and they are at least twice the price of Three for unlimited everything, but at least eSim.net don’t tie you down for 2 years.

Who did you decide to go with?

I went with eSim.net but they were useless customer service wise unfortunately; but I got rid of the iPhone and went back to an S21 Ultra, 2 physical sims and much better dual sim functionality compared to the iPhone (which you cannot differentiate between the SIMs (ie can't have 2 separate contact lists etc)

FYI its this site you need to use for eSIM: https://www.esim.net/UKStore/ - that'll give you a 30 day sim only contract and full iMessage usage etc

Thank you for replying, and with useful info. I might just go with O2 or Vodafone for a 12 month contract and hope Three get their eSims running again within the year.
