Manchester eSIM FAQs

Will my data work when I land in Manchester?

Yes. Manchester Airport has mobile signal. Install your eSIM before you fly, skip the airport SIM hunt, and you'll be online before baggage reclaim.

  1. When you land, switch the eSIM line on and turn data roaming on for it.
  2. Set it as your mobile data line.
  3. That's it. You're ready to explore Manchester.

Which eSIM plan do I need for Manchester?

Any of our UK eSIM plans. They all cover Manchester and the rest of the country with unlimited data, so one plan does the whole trip.

Does it work outside Manchester, like Liverpool or the Peak District?

Yes. It's a UK eSIM, so the same plan works wherever there's network signal across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Do your eSIM plans allow hotspot?

Yes. Share your data with your laptop or a travel buddy anywhere in Manchester.

How do I pay for the tram?

Touch in with your contactless card or phone at the tram stop before you board, and touch out at the end. Use the same card or phone all day and your fares are capped.

Can I tap my card on the bus?

Yes. Tap your contactless card or phone as you board any Bee Network bus. Use the same card on the tram and one daily cap covers both.

Which app should I download for getting around?

The Bee Network app. It plans routes across bus, tram and train, shows live times and sells tickets.
