Just thought I'd share some of the free eSIMs we've tried if anyone's interested in cellmapping.
Would highly recommend getting the proper SIMs if possible for the best experience but free eSIMs still work fairly fine for it.
Be careful though that these free eSIMs will usually have a catch of some sort.
As a quick note, [VoLTE] listings for EE means that it is able to access B20/28 on macro sites and B3/7 on certain micros. Three has removed this requirement lately.
Firsty 5G Access on most devices
Networks available are EE [VoLTE], 3 UK, O2 - UK and vodafone UK (VF seems to only work on 2G for me)
Downsides: Requires app (phones without eSIM support will not be able to generate an eSIM), 100kbps speed limit once you've used initial 100MB Fast allowance, Requires users to watch video advertisements every hour to have browsing time

Red Bull MOBILE 4G Access
Networks are vodafone UK and 3 UK with limited EE access in low signal conditions
This is ran by an Austrian mobile operator, A1. You'll get 100MB for free and you'll have to pay for any extra. Use the code "TRAVELDEALZ" (not an affiliate code) for 1GB free to add to your 100MB (only lasts a year).
Downsides: Requires app, no 5G
