eSim for a second number

Socksbandit

Hi all.  I'm lost in the eSim world!  I have a personal number with Lebara and am looking for a second number eSim.  Does anyone have any advice on where to go for a good deal?  Lebara don't do eSims yet and a couple of the others I've looked either won't provide an eSim if you're not already with them, or they only ask whether you want to switch your number

What do you want of your second sim? Data? Voice/Txt only? Mainly receiving or sending too?

I got an esim from Lyca mobile on a 99p deal for 3 months. Similar to Lebara

I'm basically wanting to use it as a business line, so to make and receive calls/texts.  Don't really need a load of data as I'll be using my laptop for work and have my personal plan for personal use.  Though I suppose a bit might be useful occasionally!

Although Lyca mobile have acquired a poor reputation for customer service in recent months they offer esims on 30 day rolling contracts.

If you go via Uswitch there is 3Gb of data for £4. 40 a month (or if you just want to try them out 30Gb for £3.49 for the first 3 months). Cancel anytime.

They use the EE network and EU roaming is included.

Alternatively, RWG have 5Gb of data for £5 per month rolling contract on an esim deal using the 3 network.

I'm just about to buy one from Lyca.  It isn't asking anything about whether I want a new number or to switch my existing one.  Does it automatically give a new one and then you switch it if you want to?  Thanks for all your help!

I have an eSim via eSim.net. I also have a Lebara as my main number which runs on the Vodafone network. So I chose an O2 eSim in the hope that if one network was poor the other would be better.
