Benefit #1: Mobile Coverage Across 96% of the UK
With a PrimaSIM eSIM, you get 4G coverage across 96% of the UK, not just in major cities like London, Manchester, and Liverpool, but also in rural parts of regions like Cornwall, famous for its picturesque villages. Meanwhile, 5G is available in 90–95% of inhabited regions, with especially strong signal in urban zones. In England, 5G covers 92–96% of populated areas, in Scotland – 91%, in Wales – 86%, and in Northern Ireland – 92%.
Important: 5G statistics refer specifically to inhabited regions. In remote rural zones and natural locations, you will most often have only 4G.
This extensive coverage is made possible through partnerships with multiple UK operators – EE, O2, and Vodafone. You can switch between networks as needed to improve signal quality.
