Cruise is the differentiator
Most travel eSIMs stop at the harbour. GigSky sells ship packs too.

About GigSky
GigSky is a travel eSIM, not a UK home network. You keep EE, O2, Vodafone or Three for the number and add GigSky as a data line when you leave the UK — or when you are on a ship that sells a GigSky pack.
The profile is meant to stay on the phone. Buy a country, regional or cruise pack in the app. New users sometimes get a small free trial; Visa card extras change, so read the offer on GigSky’s site.
Frome Fonez sends you to the official shop for today’s prices. We do not cache a GB table.
Coverage abroad: Local partner networks on land, plus cruise-ship packs
Typical plan types: Fixed GB packs, unlimited-style days, some trial data
UK use: Visitor data only — not a PAC-switch Frome SIM
Key points
What matters before you buy a GigSky pack.
Install once
Keep the profile. Buy the destination when the ticket is booked.
Trial first if offered
A small free pack is useful to prove the phone accepts the eSIM.
Still data-first
Keep the UK SIM for the number and bank texts.
Pros
- Land and cruise coverage in one app
- Fixed and unlimited-style options
- Reusable eSIM profile
- Worth a look if Airalo has no ship option
Watch-outs
- Not a UK phone number
- Unlimited-style packs still have fair use — read the day cap
- Cruise prices are a different shop to a Spain week

Questions about GigSky
Travel data, not a UK home SIM. Checked September 2026.
Is GigSky a UK network?
No. It is a travel eSIM. Everyday Frome coverage still needs a UK host.
Does it work on cruises?
GigSky sells cruise data packs. Confirm the ship on their list before you sail.
GigSky or Ubigi?
Both are reusable profiles. GigSky’s extra is ships. Ubigi is stronger as a refillable land eSIM.
