What is an eSIM?
An eSIM performs the same job as a physical SIM card, but the mobile profile is downloaded to a chip already built into your phone, tablet or wearable. Compatible devices can store more than one profile, making it easier to separate personal and work numbers or add another mobile plan.
Two lines on one phone
Many compatible devices can use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM, useful for work, travel or a second number.
Less plastic and delivery
A digital profile removes the physical card and packaging from the activation process.
Choose data, voice or a combined plan
Octopus Mobile offers flexible UK mobile connectivity for phones, tablets, laptops and hotspots. Options can include data-only service or data with calls and texts, with allowances from everyday use through to high-data requirements.

Is my device compatible?
