First things first... Set-up your eSIM

To set up your eSIM, just click on the phone you have and follow the steps. Make sure you land in Europe first then follow the steps below.

iPhone

Samsung

Huawei

My data isn't working...

  1. Check that you have Data Roaming & Mobile Data turned on in your Settings.
  2. Make sure that you have changed your APN settings to match the following:
    For iOS devices
    Name: o2 internet
    APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
    User name: vertigo
    Password: password
    Ensure 'password' is typed in and not blank.
    For Android devices
    Name: o2 internet
    APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
    Proxy: [leave this section blank]
    Port: [leave this section blank]
    User name: o2
    Password: p
    MCC: 234
    MNC: 10
    Authentication type: PAP
    APN Protocal: IPV4
    APN Roaming Protocal: IPV4
  3. Restart your phone
If you've been using your eSIM but suddenly your data has stopped working

Sometimes the SIM can stop working. When this happens:

  1. Turn on Airplane Mode for 1 minute
  2. Turn off Airplane Mode - this should reboot the connection!
  3. If your phone says it's connected to LTE or 4G but the data isn't working, try to manually turn off LTE/4G to connect to 4G/3G.

Apple:

Settings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart

Android:

Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart

It might look different depending on your device! If these instructions don't match exactly, explore your settings until you find Network Mode

How do I find my number?

You can find your phone number through your phone settings or your contacts.

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 can check your balance by looking at your phone settings under data usage.

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.

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.

We'd highly recommend using data applications like FaceTime, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Zoom or Google Meet to make calls and texts to Australia or USA. This will work using the 10GB of data you have allocated to you.

Can I hotspot/tether from my phone?

Yep, you can hotspot/tether from your phone.

How do I know if my device is unlocked?

If you bought your device outright, it's most likely unlocked!

If you're unsure, the best way to find out is to call your Aussie network provider and ask! They'll be able to unlock it for you too. This might incur a fee! 🤔
