Olimit Tips & Tricks
Is eSIM better than a physical SIM?
It depends on your needs. An eSIM offers more convenience — there’s no need to wait for delivery or insert a physical card – perfect for travel. You can switch networks instantly, store multiple profiles, and manage everything digitally. It’s especially useful for frequent travellers or those who change providers often.
However, if your phone doesn’t support eSIM or you prefer a traditional setup, a physical SIM still works just as well. At Olimit, we list whether a deal supports eSIM, so you can choose the option that works best for you.
Can I use an eSIM while travelling abroad?
Yes, and it’s one of the best reasons to get one. An eSIM makes travel easier by letting you download a local or travel SIM plan before you even land — no need to hunt for a shop or swap physical cards. Many global and UK providers offer international eSIM plans, ideal for tourists, remote workers, or frequent flyers.
At Olimit, you can compare eSIM-ready SIM Only deals that support international roaming, so you stay connected wherever you go.
