Get on itWill my phone work?

  • No paperwork

    Your name, your email and a card. No credit check, no proof of UK address, no UK bank account. Most cards from home work, as do Apple Pay and Google Pay.

  • Keep your home number

    Most eSIM phones hold two lines at once. Leave your home SIM in for bank codes and family, and use GetOnIt for everything in the UK. WhatsApp stays on the number it is on now.

  • Order before you fly

    Your eSIM arrives by email, usually within a few minutes of paying, so it can be waiting for you. Your first month starts the day your eSIM goes live, not the day you pay.

  • No contract

    Pay for one month at a time and cancel whenever you like from your account. No exit fees, and a 14-day cooling-off period after you join.

  • Unlimited UK calls and texts

    On every plan, with 4G and 5G where it is available. Calls to 999 and 112 are always free.

  • Europe included

    Trips over the holidays? Use your plan in 37 EU destinations at no extra cost. Outside them your line does not connect, so there are no surprise bills.

Your first 15 minutes

From arrivals hall to online

  1. 1

    Check your phone

    Dial *#06#. If you see an EID, your phone supports eSIM. It also needs to be unlocked: phones bought on a contract back home are often locked to that network, so check before you travel.

  2. 2

    Pick a plan and pay

    About two minutes. Your name, your email and a card. No account to set up first.

  3. 3

    Scan the QR code

    It arrives by email. Scan it in your phone's settings on any Wi-Fi: the airport, your halls, a café. iPhones need one extra setting, and the email shows you how.

  4. 4

    You're on

    Your line is usually live within 15 minutes. Your new UK number is in your account.

Questions

Asked by people who just arrived

Do I need a UK address, bank account or credit history?
No. We only ask for your name and email, and you pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. There is no credit check.
Can I keep using my number from home?
Yes, on most eSIM phones. Your home SIM stays in the phone and GetOnIt runs alongside it on the eSIM. Choose which line handles data and calls in your phone's settings.
What if my phone doesn't support eSIM?
Then GetOnIt won't work on it, because we don't send physical SIM cards. Check your model before you buy. Check your phone
What happens when I go home?
Cancel in your account. Your line keeps working until the end of the month you have paid for, and nothing more is charged.
