Roaming on your UK network against a travel eSIM, destination by destination, for all 15 UK networks, with network prices from their own pages. This site is not affiliated with these networks and is not their official site; we sell eSIMs. How we compare.
EE roaming, on your bill £16.50 Weekly EU Roaming Pass · 7 days · your UK data · pay monthly only As published by EE (checked on 24 October 2026). EE charges £2.72 a day to use your UK allowance in its Europe zone (49 destinations) on plans from 7 July 2021, or £16.50 for 7 days and £27.50 for 12 days. Ireland is included at no daily charge; Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar cost the same daily charge. Outside Europe there is no data without a Roaming Pass. EE’s own calculator still shows £2.59; we use the price guide of 31 March 2026.

If the trip is longer than a pass, we add passes of the same kind. “Included” means your plan already covers the destination within its fair use limit. Roaming keeps calls and texts on your UK number; the eSIM is data only. The eSIM is paid by card in pounds, exactly the price shown.
Your UK network vs eSIM, by trip length
0.8GB a day: 5.6GB for 7 days, 12GB for 15 days and 24GB for 30 days. For each of the 15 UK networks, the way that costs least to cover the trip: in the plan within fair use, a daily charge or passes. We compare each network’s public roaming passes and daily rates. Some plans have roaming built in (for example Vodafone Global Roam, O2 Ultimate, Three Complete and Sky Diamond VIP), so check your own plan. The week covers every destination with a network pass; 15 and 30 days, the 40 most visited from the UK.

Network prices as published for their own customers, checked on 24 October 2026; some passes are for pay monthly or Pay As You Go only, as marked. On roaming your UK number also takes calls and texts; the eSIM is data only. eSIM at its price in pounds on 1 Nov, charged in pounds by card. How roaming works on each UK network: roaming from the UK.
When roaming is the better choice
Ireland. All 15 UK networks include it as at home: a travel eSIM is not needed there.
The EU on a plan that includes it. O2, iD Mobile, Lebara, giffgaff, Tesco Mobile, SMARTY, Talkmobile, Lyca Mobile, BT Mobile and Asda Mobile include the EU within a fair use limit that starts at 5GB (giffgaff, Talkmobile, Asda) and differs by network; Tesco Mobile says it has no cap. If that is enough for your trip, roaming costs nothing extra.
A day or two in Europe. The daily charge on EE £2.72 (pay monthly) or £2.50 (Pay As You Go, 1-day pass), Vodafone £2.75 (pay monthly), Three £2.75 (pay monthly), Sky Mobile £2.00 (pay monthly) and VOXI £2.60 (1-day pass) is about the price of an eSIM for a short trip, and your plan’s data comes with it.
When an eSIM is the better choice
A week or longer on a network that charges for Europe. A daily charge adds up: seven days on EE at its daily charge cost £19.04. The longer the trip, the more an eSIM saves.
Outside Europe. Turkey is outside the European zone on all 15 networks, and most charge by the day or by the MB in the USA, Egypt and Thailand.
More data than your fair use limit. On plans with 5GB of EU roaming, a week of maps and photos can run out; the eSIM carries the extra.
Using both. Data goes through the eSIM; your UK SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, with its data roaming switched off.
Frequently asked questions
Is roaming or an eSIM cheaper from the UK?
For a week with 5.6GB, an eSIM costs less than roaming on every one of the 15 UK networks in 55 of 198 destinations (network prices checked on 24 October 2026). We compare each network’s public roaming passes and daily rates. Some plans have roaming built in (for example Vodafone Global Roam, O2 Ultimate, Three Complete and Sky Diamond VIP), so check your own plan. In 142 the answer depends on your network, or the prices are about the same. Roaming costs less, or is already in UK plans, in Isle of Man.
When is roaming the better choice?
Ireland is included as at home on all 15 UK networks. 10 of 15 include the EU in their plans within a fair use limit: O2, iD Mobile, Lebara, giffgaff, Tesco Mobile, SMARTY, Talkmobile, Lyca Mobile, BT Mobile and Asda Mobile. On a trip of a day or two in Europe, the daily charge of EE £2.72 (pay monthly) or £2.50 (Pay As You Go, 1-day pass), Vodafone £2.75 (pay monthly), Three £2.75 (pay monthly), Sky Mobile £2.00 (pay monthly) and VOXI £2.60 (1-day pass) is close to an eSIM. If you need lots of data, or travel outside Europe, an eSIM usually costs less.
Does pay monthly or Pay As You Go matter?
It can. On EE, Pay As You Go Roam like Home costs £10.00 for 7 days in Europe, while the pay monthly pass costs £16.50. Three has no daily charge on Pay As You Go. The table shows the way that costs least on each network, with the plan type next to it.
Will my UK number still work abroad with an eSIM?
Yes, if you keep your UK SIM switched on for calls and texts, for example bank codes. What calls and texts cost abroad depends on your network and plan. The eSIM is data only and has no phone number.
How do you compare the prices?
Each trip assumes 0.8GB of data a day. For each network we take the way that costs least to cover the trip: the destination already in the plan within its fair use limit, a daily charge or a set of passes, at the price the network publishes. For the eSIM we take our own price of the day in pounds, the amount your card is charged. “eSIM is cheaper” means every network costs at least 1.2 times the eSIM; between 0.9 and 1.2 times we call it about the same price. This site is not affiliated with the networks; we sell eSIMs.
