National Roaming eSIM (Anywhere eSIM)

Just to provide an update on my experiences so far, all has been rather good. The SIM switches networks when necessary, though seems to have some level of preference to Vodafone. Data has been good and support has been excellent. I’ve even gotten 5G on EE on my iPhone 14 Pro Max through the sim as shown below (confirmed as real 5G through field test mode).

@JaffaMeme thinking of getting one of these for a trip to the lake district, when it says 1k minutes or texts or 10gb data, do you have to pick one at some point? or if you want the 10gb data never call? or is it just like a payasyougo plan where it works out this way?
 
Slow2 UK. You must be lucky.

I don't use it for my broadband. 2gig a month would not get me far anyway.

I have never not got a signal in the UK and in Europe I pay no surcharge with my o2.

I also have an o2 PAYG in a tablet as a satnav and simply top that up when the data is running low. No monthly charge on that.
People such as me find that O2 can't even send text messages in certain areas, let alone websites for how oversubscribed it is. They refuse to upgrade their age old network and it's really starting to show

It’s like a pay as you go plan with a balance. You only get charged for what you use. If you want the full 10GB then no calls or texts.

Yep I see this 100%, My first experience on O2 was while I had a phone being repaired and I genuinely found it unusable. I optimistically found this out trying to watch TikTok, instantly realizing that expecting to load a 30second video in under 10 minutes at 3pm was a grave misjudgment of the power of the 3 6 year old B20 O2 masts in my town. Followed by a 50% success rate in sending iMessages, Google searches failing, Life360 constantly unable to connect, and even basic calls failing or dropping as soon as signal even gets a little bit bad - 2G in my grandparents rural Ireland town beats O2 most days here

Maybe it's better up North, that's the only possible explanation i've come up with for so many people staying on O2

Hi, just about to buy this

Just looking to confirm whether it can access EE/Vodafone B20 as I imagine this will be important for rural coverage like ill be using it

It doesn’t have VoLTE so can’t be entirely sure of its ability to use EE / Three B20 but I believe it does have access (I wouldn’t bet on it though). Definitely has access to B20 on Vodafone / O2.
 
Is this £50 for 10GB the cheapest National Roaming sim we can get?
Sorry I didn't do any research but just sounds to be overpriced when comparing with 1pmobile (the PAYG with best coverage (EE with B20 access) in my mind).
It does try to exploit a very small niche by the looks of it, hence the high price.
 
Sorry to hijack an old thread, do they support B20 on EE/Three?

Do they now support 5G, VoLTE, WiFi calling etc?

Are you still using them? Views? Thanks.

I guess this is useful if you want regular calls/texts to work everywhere, but for data alone, it would be cheaper to use a travel eSIM.

For example, on BNESIM (EE, O2, Three) 10GB costs less than £16 and doesn't expire. 1GB a month costs less than £1. Don't remember about 5G support (it worked on EE), but 4G works and I never had issues with speeds.

Use the missing network (Vodafone) for your main SIM and you get all 4 networks. One of the VF's MVNOs, Lebara, does calls/texts over data even if it's an EU IP, so you'd be able to make regular calls and sms via the eSIM's data if VF had no signal at all (not very reliable though).
