What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of a traditional SIM card. It's built into your phone's hardware and can be programmed over the air.

1

Check Phone Compatibility

Ensure your smartphone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from XS onwards, Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards, and Google Pixel 3 onwards are compatible.

2

Choose a SecondSim Plan

Select a monthly, quarterly, or yearly plan. You'll receive a real UK mobile number instantly, not a virtual VoIP number.

3

Scan the QR Code

Open your phone's network settings and click the 1-click install link we email to you. Your new UK number will be active within 60 seconds.

Common Questions:

Does this drain battery?

Slightly, but far less than carrying a second physical phone. Modern Android phones are optimised for dual SIM standby.
