What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital version of the physical SIM card living inside your phone. Instead of a tiny chip, eSIMs store all your network info digitally. Think of it like the SIM card's smarter, more convenient sibling.
No. eSIMs are the digital version of a physical SIM card. Smart SIM is our game-changing eSIM, giving you unlimited essential apps around the world and on the big 4 UK networks.
Pretty soon when you join our waiting list (and even sooner if you refer 5 friends 👀). We’re rolling out beta Smart SIM as we speak and improving it everyday.
What’s the ‘beta’ all about?
It’s still early days for Smart SIM, so we’re calling it a beta product while we continue testing and improving it. Over the next few months, you might notice some changes and experience the odd hiccup or two. We’re constantly improving and welcome your feedback anytime.
Is data really unlimited?
It sure is. Consider it the all-you-can-eat buffet for your essential apps 📱
Will Smart SIM always be £5/month?
We’re still in the Beta phase of Smart SIM and getting user feedback to determine its price when we launch more widely. Rest assured though, you’ll get plenty of notice if we decide to change pricing in future.
Does Smart SIM really work in 180+ countries?
Yes. From South Africa to Sri Lanka, Italy to India, Smart SIM has got you covered.
Can I call and text with my Smart SIM?
No. Smart SIM is a data-only SIM giving unlimited data for essential apps. You’ll still need your primary SIM to call and text.
The same goes for WhatsApp – for now, it's messaging only.

Do I have to be an Honest customer already to get Smart SIM?
No (although we’d love you to be 🤗). Smart SIM works alongside your original SIM, so you’d still be with your current network.Unless you’d like to switch to Honest, of course. Is now a good time to mention we’re one of the UK’s top rated mobile networks?
Does Smart SIM switch networks automatically?
Yes. Smart SIM will automatically connect you to the strongest network when you turn off your primary SIM or have no signal.
After that, you can switch between networks in settings with just a few taps.
