What esim plans are available in Ireland?

Only Vodafone offer them and I think I read on here they're not provisioning any new ones, best to check with them

According to Apple, only Vodafone offer eSIM in Ireland, echoing bennyx_o’s comment above. BUT…

Three sell the iPhone 14 which ONLY works with eSIMs, so they must be able to do it.

I’m in the States at the moment but split my time between here and Dublin and carry two phones. I have Three at home. I’m thinking of getting a new iPhone 14 here. But I’m wondering when I get back there will Three give me the runaround when I ask to transfer my Three number to it as well?

The european iphone 14’s do have sim trays. It’s the US version doesn’t have one.

How recent was this?

Saturday 15th. Online was giving errors to transfer it.

Good to know this. Thanks!

@shanec1928 I ported a number in from 3 to VF eSim a week ago all while in NY. It did give me an error with the order and I got on to chat and they cleared something in the background and it was available immediately within MyVodafone. I will say it seems like a problem with agent knowledge with Vodafone when it comes to eSim. Some say they stopped doing it months ago and others do it without any issues... Maybe try chat again?

3UK do eSIM, 3 Ireland don't for those saying 3 do esim

vodafone esims definitely working in ireland. have provisioned a few for people this month on iphone and android.

no other network does them. if its just data you want there are a number of online providers of esims but you would get a phone number with calls / texts on most.

Will be interesting to see if iPhone 15 line announcement next week will push any Irish telecoms into eSim announcements. Asides from the ease of swapping networks, another huge plus as I see it is theft. Thieves can’t just whip out your SIM card and stop you tracking a phone making it less appealing to steal. I’d like to see a “unlock to power down” feature added to iPhone / android to help keep phones tractable when stolen with eSim.

Can anyone confirm if I Can buy a vodafone E-Sim remotely as of today?

Got my phone nicked in Bordeaux over the weekend. In France for two more weeks, and I just need a number etc to get access to my 2FAs (even if its not my number)

Looks like Lyca Mobile now offer esim and 5G. Much better over than 48

Ah yeah, getting the same error trying to place an order. I sent an email with the details to cs@lycamobile.ie

Never got it working. Got a reply from support on Saturday saying the website was working fine and to try ordering using a different browser etc etc.

Called them but Iay as well not have. Described the problem and was told just to follow her instructions which was exactly what I was doing. Then clear cache, blah blah blah. And then finally got asked to wait 30 mins- 1hour and try again. Clearly wasn't going to help and just wanted me off the phone.

Might have pushed it to PROD a little too soon! Just a pity their customer service agents are worse than useless. May as well have been talking to the wall.
