    So I work for an MVNO business provider (Voda/ O2/ EE). We have seen a massive change in bills since ESIM/ Dual SIM handsets have come about. Lots of bill shock for personal users where they have not set the SIMS up properly and therefore done things like gone abroad and used their personal SIMS for DATA instead of business etc. We have these closure codes as 'user education'.

    In answer to your question - nope, neither Tesco Mobile or Sky Mobile support eSIM.

    As things stand, the only providers that do support eSIM are; the main network operators (EE, O2, Three, Vodafone) along with LycaMobile and Spusu (both of these run on EE) and a couple of niche providers.
    Lycamobile has "temporarily" suspended their eSim - my new iPhone 15 now is at the mercy of the big 4's rates.  Any suggestions welcome.

  • Tesco supports eSim on my Google Pixel 6.  It may depend on what contract you have with them.

    Still waiting for ID Mobile to release eSIM to the masses - surely it can’t be THAT long before they do?
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
