Need more data in Europe?

Need more than 12GB data in Europe? Just buy two (2) or multiple SIM Cards and each will give you 12GB to use in Europe.

More than 30 days in Europe?

You can only use My UK SIM Card for 30 consecutive days in Europe. Then it will stop working in Europe even if you refill.

This is because My UK SIM Card is a UK SIM Card that roams in Europe, and the roaming is only meant to be for short durations. The network sets a maximum of 30 days.

However this 30 day restriction gets “reset” if you use your My UK SIM Card again in the UK. Then you can again use the SIM Card in Europe for up to 30 days and so on.

The solution is easy: just buy two (2) or multiple SIM Cards and each will give you 30 days use in Europe with 12GB data to use in Europe.

Here’s some examples:

John is going to France for two weeks, Italy for three weeks and Spain for one week. He’s not visiting the UK at all.

John will need to buy two (2) SIM Cards. The first will work for 30 days (and cover him for his France trip and two weeks of his Italy trip) but he won’t be able to refill the first SIM Card. Instead, after 30 days he’ll throw the first SIM Card away and use the second SIM Card which will cover the remainder of his time in Italy and Spain.

Tabitha is going to France for three weeks, UK for two weeks, Spain for three weeks, UK for one week and finally to Sweden for three weeks.

Tabitha can use the same SIM Card and simply refill it every 30 days. That’s because at no time is Tabitha in Europe for more than 30 consecutive days. When Tabitha goes to the UK and uses the SIM Card there that will “reset” the 30 day Europe restrictions.

You can only use 12GB of your data in Europe. Learn more.

Whichever My UK SIM Card you buy you can only use 12GB of your data in Europe. This is due to network roaming restrictions. For example, even if you buy the 60GB SIM Card, you can only use 12GB of the 60GB when you’re in Europe. Need more than 12GB in Europe? Then just buy multiple My UK SIM Cards and you’ll get 12GB data on each SIM Card to use in Europe.

There’s no data restriction when you’re in the UK. For example, if you buy the 60GB My UK SIM Card and you’re only traveling to the UK then you’ll have 60GB data to use in the UK. Or if you used 10GB of the data in Europe, you’d have 50GB remaining to use in the UK.

How much data will I need?

How much do I need? 10GB? 30GB? 60GB? UNLIMITED GB? Learn more.

You have a choice of 10GB, 30GB, 60GB or UNLIMITED GB.

Make sure to select the right SIM Card for you because you can’t add more data if you run out. For example, if you buy the 10GB SIM Card, and you use up the 10GB, you can’t add more data (you can only refill for another 30 days once the first 30 days ends).

The most popular SIM Card is 30GB.

10GB is best for a very light data user who just occasionally uses their phone, or will use wi-fi most of the time.

30GB is best for the average person using their phone quite a lot, perhaps to check Facebook/Instagram, send messages on WhatsApp, check Google Maps etc.

60GB is best for people who are always on their phone, looking at websites, sending and receiving photos, uploading to Facebook/Instagram, making videos calls etc.

UNLIMITED GB is the ultimate for the very heavy data user or someone who doesn’t want to have to worry about how much data they’ve got left. It’s perfect for someone who will be out and about most of the time, away from wi-fi. With unlimited GB, it’s perfect for streaming movies and music, sending and receiving lots of photos and videos, using their phone as a hotspot.

Whichever SIM Card you choose remember you can only use a maximum of 12GB of the data in Europe (or 10GB if you buy the 10GB SIM Card). So even if you buy say the Unlimited GB SIM Card you’ll only be able to use 12GB in Europe. Need more than 12GB in Europe? Just buy two or multiple SIM Cards.

The SIM Card is posted from the USA which means you’ll have it before you leave. 

Keep reading the FAQs below for answers to more frequently asked questions.

I'm after an eSIM. Do you sell eSIM?

Our standard UK & Europe Phone SIM Card is a physical SIM Card (not an eSIM).

What's the 30 day restriction in Europe all about?

You can only use the SIM Card for 30 consecutive days in Europe. Then it will stop working in Europe even if you refill.

This is because the SIM Card is a UK SIM Card that roams in Europe, and the roaming is only meant to be for short durations. The network sets a maximum of 30 days.

However this 30 day restriction gets “reset” if you use the SIM Card again in the UK. Then you can again use the SIM Card in Europe for up to 30 days and so on.

Here’s some examples:

John is going to France for two weeks, Italy for three weeks and Spain for one week. He’s not visiting the UK at all.

John will need to buy two (2) SIM Cards. The first will work for 30 days (and cover him for his France trip and two weeks of his Italy trip) but he won’t be able to refill the first SIM Card. Instead, after 30 days he’ll throw the first SIM Card away and use the second SIM Card which will cover the remainder of his time in Italy and Spain.

Tabitha is going to France for three weeks, UK for two weeks, Spain for three weeks, UK for one week and finally to Sweden for three weeks.

Tabitha can use the same SIM Card and simply refill it every 30 days. That’s because at no time is Tabitha in Europe for more than 30 consecutive days. When Tabitha goes to the UK and uses the SIM Card there that will “reset” the 30 day Europe restrictions.

What's included with My UK SIM Card?

5G/4G LTE data

Choose 10GB, 30GB, 60GB or UNLIMITED GB. If you choose 30GB, 60GB or UNLIMITED GB you can use a maximum of 12GB in Europe due to roaming restrictions. Need more than 12GB in Europe? Just buy two (2) or multiple SIM Cards (each will give you 12GB to use in Europe).

Unlimited minutes and texts

When you’re in the UK: you can use your unlimited minutes and texts to UK landlines (starting with 01 and 02), national numbers (starting with 03), free call numbers (0800) and UK mobiles (starting with 07), and you get unlimited minutes and texts to other people who are using our SIM Card.

When you’re in the included European countries: you can use your unlimited minutes and texts to local landlines and mobiles in the same country (eg when in France call and text French numbers), landlines and mobile in other European countries (eg when in France call and text German numbers), UK landlines (starting with 01 and 02) and UK mobiles (starting with 07), and other people who are using our SIM Card. For example, when you’re in France you can call a local Paris restaurant, text someone in Germany, call your airline in the UK and text someone else who is using our SIM Card.

Unlimited minutes and texts are subject to a Fair Use Policy of 43,200 minutes of calls (yes, that’s 720 hours of calls) and 43,200 texts.

Incoming calls and texts are free for you

It’s free for you to receive calls and texts from anyone anywhere in the world. So if someone in the USA calls or texts you in doesn’t cost you anything (the person calling will pay whatever it costs them to call or text a UK number).

A local UK mobile number

The SIM Card has a local UK mobile number which you can write on baggage labels, government forms, and give to family and friends.

Free unlimited wi-fi on the London Underground

You get free unlimited high speed fiber optic Wi-Fi at over 250 London Underground stations. Connect once, register, and then your phone will automatically connect (just like how your phone auto-connects each time to your home Wi-Fi).

There’s no mobile coverage at London Underground stations (many are very deep underground), so being able to connect to free Wi-Fi is a great feature.

Running late? Send a text. Keep in touch on Instagram and Facebook. Plan your journey, check train times, directions and connections. Stay up to date with the news, sports scores and the latest updates from your friends.

Access to exclusive UK cinema, cafe and restaurant offers through the Three+ rewards app

With our UK SIM Card you get exclusive offers from the Three + rewards app. This includes Cineworld, Caffe Nero, Frankie & Benny’s, Uber Eats + more.

Use your phone as a hotspot and share the data

Will I know my new cell number before I leave to the UK/Europe?

Yes. Once you receive your My SIM Card, simply email us quoting the SIM Card serial number and we’ll be able to tell you your UK cell number so you’ll know it before you leave to the UK/Europe. This way you can tell your family and friends, include the number on your baggage labels, on government forms etc.

Can I keep my WhatsApp number?

Yes. You don’t need to anything to keep using WhatsApp with your USA number. You’ll keep your number, contacts and all your conversations. People in the USA will still keep messaging you on WhatsApp as normal.

What phone number is the SIM Card?

My UK SIM Card has a UK cell number (the format is 07XXX-XXX-XXX, for example 07100200300). This is a standard regular UK cell number–the same cell number format as every other cell number in the UK. Think of it like as if you were a tourist to the USA and your number was 310-123-4567.

How can I check my data balance?

You can easily keep an eye on your data balance by logging into your account at Three.co.uk.

Do you offer UK timezone support if I have a problem?

Yes. We have UK timezone support via a dedicated Rapid Response Support Team you can email or WhatsApp message, whether it’s after a red-eye flight landing in Heathrow, or at 10pm when you’re at dinner in Madrid.

Travel is stressful enough, and after flying for almost 24 hours you want to know that you can speak to someone if you have a problem or question.

How does the free unlimited Wi-Fi work on the London Underground?

With our SIM Card you get free unlimited 100Mbps wi-fi at over 250 London Underground stations. Many stations are deep underground with no 3G/4G/5G service, so having free wi-fi is really helpful to stay connected. You can check train times and plan your journey, keep in touch on Facebook etc, and check the latest news.

Once you’re at an Underground Station, switch on Wi-Fi and connect to Three_WIFI.

IMPORTANT! 30 day Europe use restriction! You can only use the UK SIM Card in Europe for a maximum period of 30 days. After 30 days, the UK SIM Card will stop working unless you use it in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland).

It’s free and doesn’t cost anything. Talk and text to landline and mobile numbers when you’re in the 34 European countries comes from your included unlimited talk and text.

Sorry, there’s nothing we can do to get around the Europe fair use policy.

Need more than 12GB in Europe? Buy two or multiple SIM Cards and each will give you 12GB to use in Europe.

Can I add more data?

No. You can’t add more data if you use it all up. Data will stop working completely. So if you think you’ll be a heavy data user, consider choosing the 60GB or UNLIMITED GB SIM Card.

Note that whichever SIM Card you buy you can still only use up to 12GB of the data when you’re in Europe due to Europe roaming restrictions

What happens to my apps, contacts, emails etc on my phone?

Everything stays the same! Nothing changes when you use the UK & Europe SIM Card. All your apps, contacts, emails or any other settings on your phone don’t change because they are all stored on your phone, and not on your SIM Card. For example, all your phone contacts and conversations will still be on your phone, your Facebook profile stays the same, and also your photos stay on your phone.

The UK & Europe SIM Card uses the Three UK mobile network in the UK, and roams onto different local networks when you’re in Europe.

The Three mobile network is the UK’s fastest 5G network, and the combined 3G & 4G network covers 99% of the UK outdoor population. The Three mobile network won the Speedtest.net fastest 5G mobile network award for Q1/Q2 2022. You can read more on the Three mobile network website.

You can check specific coverage on the Three UK network by entering an address or post code into the network coverage maps.

Yes – if you’re staying longer than 30 days just refill on our website and get another 30 days. And you can keep refilling again every 30 days if you’re staying even longer (you can keep refilling forever if you want). Unused data does not rollover. However you can only use the SIM Card for a 30 day continuous period in Europe (the 30 days resets if you use the SIM Card in the UK). Staying longer than 30 days in Europe? Just buy two or multiple SIM Cards.

What are your shipping options?

All orders are dispatched from our USA warehouse on the next business day after you order. For example, if you ordered on Friday it would get posted on Monday. Order on Tuesday it will post out on Wednesday.

You can read more here about our shipping options.

Do you have any customer reviews?

Can I re-use my phone SIM Card for another trip?

You can re-use your SIM Card within six (6) months of the last recharge. For most customers the “last recharge” will be the date you initially activated the SIM Card in your phone.

After six months without a recharge your SIM Card is considered inactive by the Three UK and it is permanently and forever cancelled, cannot be re-used or recharged and the mobile number cannot be retrieved for future use. To confirm, this means that if it has been more than six months since you last recharged your SIM Card cannot be re-used.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Paypal, credit card (Visa, Mastercard & American Express), Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Our entire website, and our checkout page, is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is a security protocol that provides privacy, authentication, and integrity to Internet communications. SSL encrypts data that is transmitted across the web. This means that anyone who tries to intercept this data will only see a garbled mix of characters that is impossible to decrypt.

You can click the little padlock icon in your browser’s address bar to verify that the checkout page is secure before entering your credit card details.

What is your money back guarantee?

We’re so confident that our SIM Card will work for you that we provide a 100% money back guarantee if it doesn’t work. To take advantage of the money back guarantee we just need you to do the following:

1. If you get to the UK/Europe and your SIM Card isn’t working, you must contact us on WhatsApp (+447882165545) or email [email protected]. Just connect your phone to wi-fi to do this.

2. When you contact us, include your name and your SIM Card serial number (it’s on the back of the SIM Card and starts with 8944).

3. Allow us a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue (it will be a maximum of 24 hours, but usually in as little as 1-2 hours).

4. If we can’t fix the issue because your phone isn’t compatible with the UK & Europe SIM Card network then we’ll provide a 100% refund of the amount you paid for your SIM Card.

Just to be clear, the money back guarantee only applies if you do steps 1-3 above. So, for example, if you wait until you get back to Australia to contact us then the money back guarantee won’t apply.

Is your website secure?

Our entire website, and our checkout page, is protected by SSL.

SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a type of technology that helps protect online credit card transactions. It does this by encrypting, or scrambling, the information that is sent between a customer’s computer and the website they are making a purchase from. This makes it much harder for anyone to intercept and read the information, such as credit card numbers, during the transaction.

When you see a website that uses SSL (likes ours does), it will typically have a padlock icon in the address bar and the website address will start with “https” instead of “http”. These are signs that the website is using SSL and that your information is being transmitted securely.

In simple terms, SSL helps ensure that when you make a purchase online, your credit card information is kept private and secure, and only the intended recipient (the website) can read it.

Do you have a shop or office I can visit?

We don’t have a shop or office, but we do offer a new service if you are in Melbourne. We can deliver the SIM Card to you, and help you install it, show you how to activate the SIM Card, and set up the Three UK app on your phone. The cost for this is $150. If you’d like to know more, just email us at [email protected].

Maximise your data usage when in Europe

Your UK Phone SIM Card comes with a lot of data – a full 25GB. That’s easily enough to see you through the 30 days your SIM card is valid for. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to how much data you are using. There are certain settings your phone may have, some apps you use and some websites you visit that can quickly drain a lot of your data.

While the amount of data certain operations use depends on many factors, here’s a rough guide to what 25GB of data means. You could

  • Send and receive 240,000 emails, or
  • Instant message chat with your friends for 8 full days, or
  • Spend 4 full days on Facebook or web surfing, or
  • Upload 4000 photos, or
  • Watch YouTube on standard-quality for 36 hours, or
  • Call home with 32 hours of video chat, or
  • Play online games for anything between 32 and 320 hours (it varies wildly), or
  • Watch two movies streaming in HD.

There are other factors to consider rather than overall time. One of the most unexpected ways your mobile device can use up a lot of data without you knowing is automatic app updates. On some devices, apps are set to automatically download large updates regardless of what sort of connection you have. You might not even get a notification that an app you’ve never even used is silently getting a 200MB update. So, go into your mobile device settings and change them so apps can only update if you give permission. There are different ways to do it for iOS and Android. Once you’ve done that hold off on updating until you have a good signal on an unlimited connection.

Keep an eye on your phone SIM balance:

  1. Switch on the device that has your phone SIM installed
  2. Turn OFF Wi-Fi
  3. Go to https://www.three.co.uk/New_My3/My3_Home
  4. Click “Check your balance”
