Cyprus eSIM for UK travellers

Since Brexit, several major UK networks have brought back daily roaming fees in the EU, including Cyprus. Over a one- or two-week holiday, those charges add up. A local Cyprus data eSIM usually costs much less, and you keep your UK SIM in place for calls and texts.

Check your UK network first

Roaming terms differ by network and tariff, and they change often. Check your provider's current daily rate for Cyprus. Some plans include EU roaming, while many charge per day.

Keep your UK number

Leave your UK SIM switched on for calls and SMS (including bank codes), but turn off its data roaming. Use the Cyprus eSIM for all mobile data. Your phone handles both at once.

Good to know for UK visitors

Cyprus drives on the left and uses UK-style three-pin plugs, so the only thing you need to sort is data.

Getting set up

  1. Step 1

    Choose your plan

    Select the amount of data you need for your trip. Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card.

  2. Step 2

    Install before you travel

    Receive your eSIM by email and install it over Wi-Fi. It takes about two minutes, and validity doesn't start yet.

  3. Step 3

    Connect when you arrive

    Switch the eSIM on when you reach Cyprus. Maps, WhatsApp and 5G before baggage claim.

FAQ

Will I still receive texts on my UK number?

Yes, as long as your UK SIM stays switched on. Receiving texts is usually free, but check your tariff.

Is my UK phone unlocked?

Most UK phones sold since December 2021 are unlocked by law. Older phones bought on contract may still be locked, so check with your network.
