Frequently Asked Questions

Most recent smartphones support eSIM, but you should always check before buying: On iPhone, go to Settings → General → About and look for an EID number. On Android, go to Settings → About phone and look for eSIM, SIM manager or an EID field. Your device must be network unlocked to use an international eSIM in the UK. If you are not sure, share your phone model with Gohub support. The team can help you confirm compatibility before purchase.
For the Gohub UK eSIM plans shown on the product page, you usually do not need in store registration or local KYC. You buy online, receive the QR code by email and install it yourself. There is no need to visit a shop at the airport or show your passport at a counter. If a specific plan ever requires extra verification, this will be mentioned clearly in the plan details before you pay.
The smoothest setup is: Buy your UK eSIM a few days before your flight while you have stable Wi Fi. Install the eSIM profile on your phone before departure but keep the eSIM line switched off. Activate mobile data after you land in the UK so your validity starts at the right time. This way you can go online as soon as you arrive without searching for a SIM counter.
Yes. On most phones you can: Keep your physical SIM in the phone for calls and SMS from your home number. Use the UK eSIM for mobile data. In your phone settings, set: Primary line for calls and SMS. UK eSIM line for mobile data. This setup is useful if you still need banking OTPs or important SMS on your home number.
Yes, Gohub UK eSIM plans are hotspot ready, as long as: Your phone supports personal hotspot or tethering. You stay within the data allowance and fair usage policy of your plan. Hotspot is ideal for connecting a laptop or a travel companion, but it can use data faster than normal browsing, especially with video streaming.
Gohub UK eSIM can connect to 4G or 5G where available on local networks. In practice: Large cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and major airports usually have strong 4G coverage and some 5G coverage. Your phone will automatically select the best signal available for your location. 5G access depends on your device model, supported bands and local coverage at that spot. Even if your phone supports 5G, you may still see 4G in some streets, buildings or rural areas.
Gohub UK eSIM uses local networks that cover most populated areas: Coverage is generally strong in cities, towns, train routes and main roads. In remote countryside, coastal areas or parts of the Highlands, signal can be weaker or intermittent. If you plan to drive or hike through remote regions, it is a good idea to download offline maps as a backup.
It depends on how you use your phone, but this guideline works for most travelers: Light use (maps, chat, basic browsing) About 1 GB every 3 days. Normal use (social media, maps, search, some video) Around 1 to 2 GB per day. Heavy use (HD video, constant social media, laptop hotspot) Around 3 GB or more per day. Rough estimate: 7 day trip Light user: 3 to 4 GB Normal user: 7 to 15 GB 14 day trip Light user: 5 to 8 GB Normal user: 15 to 30 GB If you are unsure, pick a plan with a little extra data for peace of mind.
Most UK plans on Gohub are data only and are designed for mobile data use: They usually do not include traditional voice minutes or SMS. You can call and message using apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, Telegram or Zoom over data. Keep your physical SIM active if you need banking SMS or OTP codes from your home provider. If a specific UK plan includes voice or SMS, this will be shown clearly in the plan details before you complete payment.
No. A travel eSIM profile is intended for one device only: Once you install and activate it on a phone, it cannot be moved to another device. If you change phones, you will need a new eSIM for the new device. If you accidentally delete your eSIM or have issues during activation, contact Gohub support. The 1 hour eSIM Replacement Policy can help in eligible cases.
If the eSIM does not connect, try these steps: Enable data roaming for the eSIM line in your phone settings. Set the UK eSIM as your primary data line so the phone uses it for mobile data. Restart your phone and wait a few minutes while it searches for the local network.

If it still does not work, contact Gohub 24/7 human support through WhatsApp, app or email. Share screenshots of your SIM and network settings so the team can troubleshoot and apply the 1 hour eSIM Replacement if your case meets the policy conditions.
