Esim and UK

[olive]

We racked up some small excess charges with our Movistar simmed mobile on our last visit despite being careful.

Next one is coming up soon. Might be a month or more again.

Mobile takes an eSim

Any suggestions please on supplier and usage.?

Dim quesion.

Does the phone work as normal but internet surfing and the myriad whatsapps use the esim data ?

Good morning olive,

Another way to go.............

Get a £10 / month SIM package from GiffGaff ................. can stop the auto Topup and start again on your following trips over. This is what I use.

Been into Movistar today and good news. We have 50gb of data roaming per month but subject to limit of six months across a year ( I think) Not so good is 5 free minutes of calls t the UK.

Our other mobile is Lobster which is great for its virtually unlimited calls to the UK.

Problem sorted.
