Questions UK travellers ask
How did you compare the prices?
We only compare plans with exactly the same data allowance and number of days, both priced in pounds, using each company’s published prices checked on 26 October 2026. Graba SIM was the same price or lower on 13 of the 15 plans compared.
Is unlimited data worth it?
Only if you use a lot of data: streaming, video calls or tethering a laptop every day. For maps, messaging and social media, 1 to 2 GB a day is usually enough, and a fixed-data plan may cost less.
Do all three keep my normal number?
Yes. They are data-only eSIMs. Your normal SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts.
How do I get help with a Graba SIM eSIM?
Live chat in the Graba SIM app is available 24/7. Email and contact-form requests are answered Monday to Friday.
