"Set it up at Heathrow before take-off. Landed in Tokyo, toggled it on, and was on Google Maps within 20 seconds. Zero faff."

"Was about to pay £180 for EE roaming on a 10-day Spain trip. Got a Bookora plan for £8.50 instead. Same speeds. Wish I'd found this sooner."

"Tested in 6 countries this year. Always works first try, signal is the local 5G everywhere. Topped up twice from the dashboard — done in seconds."

"Solid product. The 2-step picker actually understood what I wanted ('a week, average data') without making me read 30 plans. Bought, scanned, done."

🤔 Common questions

Quick answers to the things travellers ask most.

What is an eSIM and how is it different from a normal SIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Instead of swapping plastic, you scan a QR code and it installs a profile that connects to a local mobile network.
Will it work on my phone?
Most flagships from 2018 onwards: iPhone XS / XR / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Pixel 3+, and most Huawei / Xiaomi / OnePlus.
Can I keep my UK number while using the eSIM?
Yes. Your UK SIM keeps your number for calls / texts / WhatsApp. The Bookora eSIM handles data only.
When should I activate the eSIM?
Install the eSIM before you fly (you need internet to set it up). Toggle it ON the moment you land — the data timer starts when you first connect to a local network.
What if I run out of data while abroad?
Top up from your account in seconds — pick a top-up bundle, pay, it auto-applies to the same eSIM.
How do I get help?
