About this Ireland & UK eSIM

A short-stay plan for Ireland & UK: 1 GB of data for 3 days, at $1.60. It is sized for a stopover, a weekend or a quick business trip, when a full-length plan would mostly go unused.

Spread evenly, that is about 341 MB a day. It is one pool for the whole 3 days rather than a daily cap, so a quiet day leaves more for a busy one.

There is room here for real everyday use — social feeds, music streaming, sharing photos as you go and the occasional video call — without rationing.

One eSIM covers 2 countries, so crossing a border needs no new plan and no new QR code — the same data keeps working.

Per gigabyte it works out at $1.60/GB, or $0.53 per day of cover.

How far will 1 GB go?

Roughly what the plan covers, if you spend it all on one thing (in total):

Mapsabout 200 hours
Browsingabout 17 hours
Socialabout 3 hours
Video callsabout 3 hours
SD videoabout 1 hour

Estimates only — real use depends on the app, the quality setting and the network. Downloading maps and playlists on Wi-Fi before you go stretches any plan much further.

Questions about this plan

Is 1 GB enough for 3 days in Ireland & UK?

Yes, comfortably — there is room for social media, music and some video calls each day. It works out at about 341 MB a day if spread evenly.

When does the 3 days validity start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Ireland & UK, not when you buy it. So you can buy and install it before you travel without the clock starting.

What happens if I run out of data?

The eSIM stops using mobile data until you add more. You can buy more data in the Go2Calls app whenever you need it.

Does one eSIM really work in all 2 countries?

Yes. You install it once and it connects in every country the plan covers, so there is nothing to change at the border.

Will I keep my own phone number?

Yes. This eSIM carries data only. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, and you choose which line uses mobile data.

Does it renew automatically?

No. It is a one-off purchase of $1.60. When the data or the 3 days run out, it simply ends — no card is kept on file to charge again.

How do I know my phone supports eSIM?

Most iPhones from the XS onward and most recent Android flagships do, but the phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, look under Settings › General › About for "Digital SIM" or "Available SIM"; on Android, search Settings for "eSIM".

How to set it up

Buy the plan in the Go2Calls app and the eSIM is ready straight away. On your phone, add a new eSIM and scan the QR code the app shows you — on iPhone under Settings › Mobile Data › Add eSIM, on Android under Settings › Network › SIMs. When you arrive in Ireland & UK, switch mobile data to the new eSIM and turn on data roaming for that line only. Your usual SIM keeps handling calls and texts.
