eSIM plans in Ireland for Microsoft Surface Pro (the LTE model)

    Wondering about eSIM plan availability in Ireland.

    In Australia, when I search for available eSIM services on a Microsoft Surface Pro (the eSIM model) there are 3 results:
    * GigSky World Mobile Data
    * Ubigi
    * Telstra

    The latter is the local 'biggie'. I had never heard of the first two, but as well as being available in Australia they both offer eSIM plans for use in Ireland.

    I couldn't find which network they use in Ireland. Does anyone know which network support eSIMs in laptops like the Surface Pro?

    Very curious to know if anyone on here has a laptop with an eSIM - what providers do you see if you search for available providers using your eSIM?

    No networks here issue them.

    You'd roam on whatever roaming partner they use. You can usually look this up on their site.

    Thanks Ed_E.

    I've since found that Ubigi have partnered with Meteor (now Eir?) but I can't find which network GigSky are with.

    It's important to me because where I'm going in Ireland only has Vodafone.

    GigSky appear to be iPhone only so not sure it matters.
