Scan the QR code from your email

Pixel 3, 4, 5 in United Kingdom
Common questions.
Yes. Pixel 3, 4, 5 ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three in United Kingdom. The line activates the moment you land — install takes under two minutes and is fully refundable if it fails to activate.
Yes. Pixel 3, 4, 5 supports dual SIM worldwide, so your home SIM stays in the tray and travel.to installs alongside it as a second line. No swapping, no removing your primary number.
On Pixel 3, 4, 5 open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs (Samsung calls it SIM card manager under Connections), tap Add SIM, choose "Download a SIM instead", and scan the QR from your travel.to email — 6 taps total.
Under two minutes. The QR arrives by email seconds after payment; 6 taps later the profile is installed on Pixel 3, 4, 5. It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in United Kingdom (UTC · UTC+1 summer) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In United Kingdom we route on EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three. Pixel 3, 4, 5 hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
120 – 220 Mbps urban · 32 ms RTT. Pixel 3, 4, 5 negotiates the fastest band the local network offers, so in covered areas you get the same speeds a native SIM would pull on the same carrier.
Default home-carrier roaming in United Kingdom runs about $14 – 24 per GB. A travel.to plan for United Kingdom sits an order of magnitude below that, and you never get a surprise bill — you pay once, up front, for the data you chose.
No need. The airport SIM kiosks in United Kingdom keep limited hours (Heathrow T2/T5 · 05:30 – 22:30) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on Pixel 3, 4, 5 before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Four carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold Pixel 3, 4, 5 falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the United Kingdom eSIM profile already on Pixel 3, 4, 5 — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your United Kingdom order page in one tap.
Full refund if the United Kingdom eSIM fails to activate on Pixel 3, 4, 5. Half refund if it activates but underperforms on EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few Pixel 3, 4, 5-specific notes: Carrier-unlocked variants only. If your phone is locked to a US carrier, you'll need to unlock it first. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in United Kingdom is the standard Android path.
