About Ubigi

Ubigi is a travel eSIM from Transatel. It is not a UK home network. You keep your EE, O2, Vodafone or Three number for calls and WhatsApp, and add Ubigi as a second line for data when you leave the UK.

The profile is reusable. Buy a France pack this summer and a Japan pack next year on the same eSIM. Plans are data-only — use WhatsApp or iMessage for calls unless you add a local number elsewhere.

Frome Fonez sends you to Ubigi’s official shop for today’s country prices. We do not cache a stale GB-per-pound table.

Coverage abroad: Local partner networks in each country — not one UK host

Typical plan types: Country, regional and global data packs on a reusable eSIM

UK use: Useful as a visitor eSIM in Britain, not as your everyday Frome number

Key points

What matters before you buy a Ubigi pack.

Reusable profile

Install once. Buy a new pack in the app when the next trip comes up.

Data only

Keep your UK SIM for the number. Ubigi is for maps, messages and hotspots.

Cars and laptops too

Ubigi is also used in some connected cars and eSIM Windows machines.

Check the country page

Speed and 5G depend on the local partner. Open Ubigi before you fly.

Pros

One eSIM you can refill instead of a new QR code every trip
Country, regional and global packs
Works alongside a UK dual-SIM or eSIM phone
Useful if you already know the brand from a car or laptop

Watch-outs

Not a replacement for a UK phone number
You still need an unlocked, eSIM-capable handset
Fair-use and speed vary by destination — read the pack

Consider Ubigi if…

You fly a few times a year and want one travel profile to keep.

Maybe skip if…

You only ever roam on your home UK plan and never want a second line.

Questions about Ubigi

Travel data, not a UK home SIM. Checked September 2026.

Is Ubigi a UK network?

No. It is a travel eSIM. For everyday Frome coverage use EE, O2, Vodafone, Three or an MVNO.

Do I keep my UK number?

Yes, if your phone is dual-SIM. Leave the UK SIM on for calls and iMessage; use Ubigi for data abroad.

Can visitors use Ubigi in the UK?

Yes — Ubigi sells UK data packs. That is for visitors, not a substitute for a BA11 home SIM.
