How Does Cedar Mobile’s eSIM For The UK Keep Australian Travellers Connected Across Multiple Cities, Including London And Manchester?

We’ve teamed up with the UK’s top-tier mobile networks (Vodafone, O2, and 3) so you get widespread, high-speed, 5G data across all the major cities! (And the charming little ones too.) 

Whether you're in the heart of London or unwinding in the Lake District, you can stream, share, scroll, and video chat without a hitch. Our coverage stretches from the Scottish Highlands to the cliffs of Cornwall, keeping you online wherever your adventure takes you.

What Are The Best Data Plans Available With Cedar Mobile’s UK eSIM For Australian Tourists?

We keep it simple with four data sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. No confusing fine print, just what you need:

  • Small: Great for quick trips or light use (think maps, emails, and the odd Instagram story). The Small plan provides 3GB of data over 30 days.
  • Medium: Perfect for a week or so, with enough data for Google Maps, etc. In total, the Medium Plan provides 5GB to use over 30 days.
  • Large: Ideal for longer stays or heavier use. Think video calls, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch streams, etc. The Large Plan provides 10GB of data over 30 days.
  • Extra Large: If you’re staying in the UK for several weeks or you simply can’t do without ample data, Extra Large is for you. With 20GB of data to use over 30 days, you can binge-watch, stream, video chat, and download larger slices of content with ease.

All plans include hotspot usage and are prepaid. There are no nasty surprises or hidden fees with Cedar Mobile.

How Easy Is It To Activate And Use Cedar Mobile’s eSIM For The UK On My Phone Before I Travel?

So easy it almost feels like cheating! 

Once you buy your UK eSIM, we email it to you instantly as a QR code. All you have to do is scan the QR code, follow a few simple steps, and then you’re all set. You can activate the eSIM as soon as you receive it or wait until you land. However, we’d strongly recommend having it all set up before jetting off—it makes the whole process even simpler.

A couple of points to keep in mind:

  • Your phone will need to be eSIM compatible—most newer phones, both iPhones and Androids, tend to have eSIM compatibility. But always double-check before purchasing your eSIM.
  • Your phone also needs to be unlocked—this means it’s not locked to any set carrier, such as Telstra or Optus. If your phone is locked, you’ll need to request an unlock from your carrier.

If you’re still stuck, ping our support team anytime or check out our general FAQs for additional guidance on confirming your phone’s compatibility.

Should I Get A UK Plan Or A Europe Plan?

If you are just visiting the UK, then any of the UK eSIMs are the perfect friendly plan for you. However, if you’re planning to visit other European countries on your holidays, then check out our Cedar Mobile Europe plan, which also includes coverage for the UK.

What Makes Cedar Mobile’s eSIM The Best Choice For Seamless Connectivity During Short And Long Stays In The UK?

Whether you’re doing a short trip or plan to stay for a while, Cedar Mobile has you covered. Our eSIM plans are structured with flexibility in mind, built for travellers who want hassle-free, high-speed data without all the needless telco drama. There’s no need to swap SIM cards or mess with your phone settings—just scan the QR code, activate, and you’re good to go.

How Does Using Cedar Mobile’s eSIM In The UK Save Time And Money Compared To Using Traditional SIM Cards?

We all know that, more often than not, airport SIM shops charge obscene fees just to get service in the destination country. And using roaming on your phone is similarly a colossal waste of money. 


With Cedar Mobile, you can skip all the headaches and excessive costs. With our plans, you can avoid the following:

  • Long queues or dodgy airport SIM kiosks
  • Fiddling with SIM ejector pins or losing a tiny nano SIM
  • Needing to switch numbers or losing your Aussie SIM
  • Surprise bills or undisclosed fees

Instead, you pay one upfront price, have your eSIM emailed directly to you, and can have it set up within minutes. Zero drama, and more time for actual sightseeing and enjoying your trip.

What Features Of Cedar Mobile’s eSIM For The UK Make It Ideal For Both Business And Leisure Travellers From Australia?

Our business travellers love the fast setup, reliable data, and hotspot support for laptops and tablets, making it far easier to stay connected and productive while abroad.

How to set up your Cedar Mobile eSIM

(Super Easy!)

  • Make sure your phone is eSIM compatible and unlocked!

    (Better to check first, right?)

  • Pick a budget-friendly eSIM and buy it!

    Just choose your destination and the perfect data plan for you.

  • Download your Cedar Mobile QR code

    It’ll land in your inbox soon!

  • Activate your eSIM...and boom, you’re good to go! 

    It’s that simple!

What's an eSIM?

Say goodbye to fiddly little plastic SIM cards! An eSIM (that’s short for embedded SIM) is a new digital technology version that lives right inside your phone or device. No more old fashioned SIMs and finding a paperclip - it’s all done electronically! Just as clever, but way more convenient.

How much data do I really need

Ah, the million-megabyte question! How much data you need totally depends on how you use your phone – are you a map-checking, music-loving, TikTok-scrolling, Netflix-bingeing travel adventurer, or more of an “email and chill” kind of explorer? Let’s break it down so you’re never caught off-guard abroad.

Is my phone eSIM compatible? Let’s find out!

Wondering if your phone is part of the cool
eSIM club? If your smartphone was born (aka released) in or after 2019/2020, there’s a good chance it’s already eSIM-ready. But not worth the risk - let’s do a quick check!

Read more for 4 super easy ways to find out.

How do I know if my phone is unlocked? (And what on earth is a locked phone?)

Great question! Before you jet off on your next adventure—or snap up that shiny new digital SIM—it’s a good idea to check whether your phone is locked. Don’t worry, it’s super easy, and we’ll walk you through it.

So, what’s the difference between Installation and Activation?

Great question, globetrotter!

When you're setting up your Cedar Mobile eSIM, your phone will give you a little nudge to activate it. But let’s break it down:

Installation means downloading your eSIM onto your phone - think of it as moving in. Whether it’s automatic or manual, it’s just your phone getting cozy with your new Cedar Mobile eSIM.

Activation? Well, this is a two-step party:

  1. First, your phone activates the eSIM itself - this gets everything set up and ready to roll.
  2. Then, when you land in your destination, boom! It activates again - this time, our Cedar Mobile data plan connects to the local mobile network and goes live.

Pro tip:
You’ll need internet and a phone that’s eSIM compatible and unlocked. So, do yourself a favor and get all this sorted before you jet off. That way, your phone is ready to say “Bonjour” the moment you land!

Remember: your data plan only kicks in when you're actually on the ground in your destination country. Until then, it's just chillin’ and waiting patiently.

When should I activate my eSIM?

Oh, the age-old question! Don’t worry, but you do need to:

Just double-check that your phone isn’t locked and is eSIM compatible, your VPN and firewall are turned off and your phone has the latest software downloaded on it -  no surprises at the airport, please!

You've got 2 options:

1.Before you jet off

This is the best and smoothest way to go. We recommend installing and activating your eSIM the day before you fly out. That way, you’re ready to hit the ground running (or strolling, if you prefer).

2. When you arrive

Decided to leave it to last? (always the optimist). You can activate your eSIM once you land. Just make sure you’ve got Wi-Fi handy - your eSIM needs a little internet love to wake up. And trust us, you don’t want to discover your phone isn’t compatible or locked when you’re tired, jet-lagged, and Wi-Fi-hunting in a foreign country.

Want the step-by-step juicy details? Check out the next question: How to activate your eSIM QR code

How do I activate my eSIM with a QR code?

Ah, the magic QR code - your golden ticket to glorious mobile data!

Once you buy a Cedar Mobile eSIM plan, you’ll get an email with your QR code (usually within a minute or two - faster than you can say “expensive roaming charges!”). Can’t find it? Poke around in your spam or junk folder just in case.

Just double-check before you start activating the QR code that your phone:

  1. Isn’t locked and is eSIM compatible,
  2. Your VPN and firewall are turned off, and
  3. Your phone has the latest software downloaded on it - iOS or Android ... old phone software will cause you problems activating your QR code (just warning you in advance).

Tip: You can activate your eSIM before your trip (highly recommended!) or upon arrival
