    I imagine they will be coming soon. In the meantime, iD Mobile offers similar deals to Smarty, also using Three's network, and they already have eSIM.

      SmartyTrousers  I wonder if they will ! It's been 'coming soon' for at least two years to my knowledge!

        There's a few reasons why I think eSIM is probably on its way (unlike, for example, Visual Voicemail, which I suspect there are no plans for):

        • ID mobile have it, which proves that it's an option for Three MVNOs
        • More and more devices are coming out which support eSIM
        • It would enable Smarty to save on the cost of having physical SIMs manufactured and posted out
        • If people need a mobile service urgently, providers which don't support eSIM are going to lose out to providers who do
