These days, when we travel, we still need our phones for everything – maps, messages, bookings, and even work.
So staying connected while you're in another country is really important.
But when you're going abroad, there's one big question: Should you use a regular SIM card or an eSIM?
Let's explain it in a simple way.
What Is a Physical SIM?
A regular SIM card is a small plastic chip that goes into your phone.
It gives you a phone number and connects you to a mobile network.
Most phones use it.
You can buy one in many countries, and it's easy to move it from one phone to another.
But if you travel a lot, regular SIM cards can be a bit annoying.
You have to take the chip out and put a new one in every time you go to a different country.
You might lose it, or need help setting it up, especially if you don't speak the local language.
What Is an eSIM?
An eSIM is different.
It's already inside your phone — no chip needed.
You just scan a code or open an app to start using it.
It's fast and easy, and you don't have to worry about losing anything.
You can also have more than one number on the same phone — like one for personal use and one for work.
Still, eSIMs aren't perfect.
Some older phones don't have eSIM support.
And in some places, you can't get an eSIM yet.
It can also be harder to move it to another phone if you get a new one.
Which One Is Better for Travel?
For most people, eSIM is the better choice.
It's quicker, easier, and you don't need to visit phone stores in every country.
But here's something many people don't know: most eSIMs only work in one country at a time.
So if you fly from the UK to Spain and then to Germany, you'll often have to get a new eSIM in each place.
Why Keep My Number Is Different
That's why we created Keep My Number.
It's not just a regular eSIM.
It works in many countries without needing to change anything.
You don't have to set up a new eSIM every time you cross a border.
Even better — you can still use your UK number while traveling.
So if your bank, your family, or your clients try to reach you — they still can.
Affordable, Easy, and Reliable
The price is also great — much cheaper than roaming.
And it only takes a few seconds to get started.
If you travel sometimes or all the time, Keep My Number is a smart and simple way to stay connected — and stay reachable.
No stress, no SIM swapping, no missing important calls.
Just enjoy your trip.
