If you've been using your eSIM but suddenly your data has stopped working
Sometimes the SIM can stop working. When this happens:
- Turn on Airplane Mode for 1 minute
- Turn off Airplane Mode - this should reboot the connection!

Settings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart
Android:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart

How do I find my number?

For Apple:
Settings > Mobile > Mobile Plans > You can find your new UK number (it'll start with +44)
Alternatively:
Phone > Contacts > My Card > Your number will be there
For Samsung/Android:
Settings > About Phone > Under "My Phone Number"
Alternatively:
Contacts App > Tap or name or profile > Your number will be there
How do I check my balance?
You will need to register and create an account with O2 at https://accounts.o2.co.uk/register after you have activated your SIM card. You can follow the registration instructions and your data balance will be available for you.
How do I recharge?
As described on the website, the eSIM is non-rechargeable. The only way around this is to buy multiple eSIMs and swap them out as you go.
Can I call USA or Australia with this SIM?
Unfortunately, this SIM doesn't come with calls/texts to USA or Australian numbers!
We'd highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, iMessages, Viber or Skype to make calls and texts instead. This'll use the 10GB of data you have allocated to you.
Read this neat little article about ways to call home!
I'm having issues making phone calls or text messages
This SIM does not come with calls or texts as it's data-only! You can still receive phone calls or text messages though.
Can I hotspot/tether from my phone?
Yep, you can hotspot/tether from your phone.

How do I know if my device is unlocked?
