Lister now offer e-SIMs for travellers to beat hefty roaming charges

October 1, 2025
Whether travelling for business or a well-earned break, you often don’t want to be restricted to the hotel wi-fi anymore, even if just using Google Maps when you are out and about.

However, of the additional costs often forgotten by travellers, the dreaded roaming data charge is one of the most irritating.

But there is a way to beat the charges before you’ve even left the country –and that’s by using Lister's e-SIM.

Purchasing a dedicated travel e-SIM almost always works out cheaper than buying the additional data bundles offered by your UK phone network plan, especially for those headed further than Europe. Plus, by using an e-SIM rather than a physical one, there’s no need to wait for it to arrive or worry about losing your regular SIM card while it’s not in use.

Here are some indicative examples:
Sri Lanka
EE - £20 per 1GB data usage
Lister e-SIM - £19.95 for a 20GB data bundle on 30-day contract

Mauritius
EE - £72 per 1GB data usage
Lister e-SIM £25 for a 20GB data bundle on 30-day contract

USA
Vodafone - £7 per day to use your existing plan limits for data, voice &text
Lister e-SIM - £28 for a 20GB / 400 minute / 200 Text bundle on a 30-day contract

Some of the benefits include: 

It is easy to add a second e-SIM particularly for iPhone & Samsung phones.

There is no bill shock as all plans are pre-paid and billed via your Lister account, with charges appearing as ‘Roaming e-SIM’ on the next bill.

It provides a reliable back-up if primary SIM fails abroad.

Top-up options available if needed.

No fixed contract.

All supported by our mobile support team.

Pricing is based on the country/region you are visiting, data volume and duration. 

To check availability, pricing and how to set-up, please contact your account manager or the mobile support team 01453 829200 option 3 or mobilesupport@lister-communications.co.uk
