To activate, simply insert the sim into your device and turn your device ON. The sim will automatically connect to a network which will commence your 30 days of service. This sim will activate in ANY country, so please only insert the sim once you are ready to use the service and not any time prior.

Please note, you will need to have both MOBILE DATA and DATA ROAMING functions ENABLED/TURNED ON in your device to use the service.

Going for longer than 30 Days?

This UK SIM Card plan will last 30 Days from activation. If you are staying longer than 30 days, you will need to recharge the sim. As mentioned above, if you wish to add credit or recharge the sim you can only do this whilst you are in the UK at 3 UK stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and convenience stores. Unfortunately, you are unable to top-up online via the 3 UK website, as it requires a UK debit/credit card that is linked to a UK residential address.

However, we advise that you visit a 3 UK store when recharging, as this will ensure that the recharge has been done correctly and you have received the most appropriate plan.

Alternatively, as another option if you are travelling for longer than 30 days, you can purchase additional sim cards based on the duration of your travel and place the activation date approximately 30 days apart for each sim and swap the sim over at the end of 30 days. However, please note you will have a different phone number for each sim.
