Cheapest way to do e sim for ee backup

I’m looking to get a cheap e sim for ee - ideally payg just for when my other network has no coverage. I was thinking talkhome but can’t see e sim listed on the website. Grateful for help please!
 
You're pretty much looking at EE Themselves or Spusu for eSIM on the EE Network. That's it.

Lycamobile also support eSIM but giving them your details would probably be a terrible mistake.

CMLink are due to release eSIM but they have told me it's imminent for a while now and I am still yet to see the launch. Hopefully soon.

It's not exactly cheap, but there's also Anywhere eSIM as an option. £50 for the year if you just want it for occasional use to keep you going where there's no signal. That will give you access to all 4 networks rather than just EE, giving you an even better chance of having signal.

Is it just for data or call and texts?
 
If you just want data, BNE does 1GB for 75p/month for Europe. I think both the older and newer eSIMs support EE and you'll have another network available at least.

No VoLTE TAC access though, I have access to EE and Vodafone and iirc older ones are EE, Three and O2.

Ah yeah I’m not looking to use a Chinese network because of their human rights records. are there any others

After 4 months when the price goes up from £1, you could just cancel and order another offer.

TalkHome do 3GB for only 1p a month for 3 months, but they don't have eSIM while Spusu does.

BNE isn't a chinese network. I assume you meant that you don't want CMLink (who don't do eSIM anyway, at the moment).

Your answer is Spusu or Lyca if you want a "native" EE MVNO eSIM. But of course the problems with Lyca have been noted above.

Otherwise a travel eSIM from a provider like BNE or others will roam onto EE.

I think they mean the BNESIM office is in Hong Kong.

Oops, missed that, fair enough.

There are some other eSIMs around then.

I have DENT which lets me on all 4 (Plus PL routed), Firsty which lets me on everything except Vodafone (KPN NL routed) and Vodafone IE which lets me on Vodafone UK and EE. There are probably others that are better and/or cheaper.
