Purchased this sim as a stop gap, during the period without broadband. Easy to activate, took less than 24 hours. Signal fine. Would recommend for anyone looking for a temporary supply of broadband/data.
Purchased specifically for a trip to the west coast of Scotland where mobile coverage was limited with O2 showing as the only real option. Installed it in a TP-Link 4G router, followed the provided guide and was up and running in minutes. I've purchased data SIMs in the past, but the service and supporting information from this supplier is excellent and will definitely use again
I have had quite a few SIM cards now from SIMS4Travel/SIMS4Home. All previous ones were Vodafone and this was my first O2. Unusually, I did have a bit of a problem trying to get this one to connect but the company soon sorted that out.
I order this sim card the 02 one, As my three sim provider has being letting me down in my area i have 2 sim contracts with them ,they be saying there update the new mask in the area for months i live in area all i want is a speed off 30 mb coming down so i can play cloud gaming on my Xbox in stead taking weeks to install the game files on my hard drive ,then its doesn't mater what the speed the internet is running ,but the internet sim provider will cap you data speed and how fast you speed comes down ,i still in contract with one off sims ,that i cant get out and both three sims speed is rubbish where i live ,i thanks this dealer on amazon for selling this product ,trust me it works and you will not unhappy ,im playing cloud gaming and the speed are 60mb or some times 90mb and i live in a area where its hard to get any sim signal ,hope this help you lot out there
I ordered initially a Three SIM. Tried it in my area but it was super slow and found out from neighbours that Three was slow in our area. So told the seller Richie who is MD of Sims4Home about this via WhatsApp message and he immediately responded, offering to send an O2 SIM which arrived the next day.
Took about 45 minutes to activate.. Really easy and fast delivery.
I needed a SIM for a product demonstration where there was no WiFi, so had to quickly order a 4G router and SIM card. The SIM arrived the day after I ordered it from sims4home. I plugged it into my brand new TP-Link router but as I am new to this stuff I had to ask sims4travel for help with setting it up. They responded almost immediately with accurate and helpful information. I will most definitely be ordering from them again.
I purchased this as i didn’t want to wait a couple of weeks for my broadband to be installed after I moved home. So I stuck this sim in an old android phone and used it as a Wi-Fi router. This has been a surprisingly stable and fast fix for my predicament, although it was a bit of faff trying to get it set up. But I now have the maximum of 10 devices that are all connected to the internet and each other. I’ve watched streaming services including Netflix and Prime etc. through my Fire TV stick 4k with no issues whatsoever. It’s as good as proper Wi-Fi.
I can not recommend this company enough. As a video production company with a need for a back up connection for livestreams, having a contract free unlimited data option is a really good route for an intermittent need. However, whatever the need for a SIM card, what has been brilliant about Sims4Home is their customer service. Every time we have had the slightest question they have been super responsive. We have had a number of these SIMS in the last 2 years. The most recent one we did not activate straightaway and when we needed to use it could not find it. Sims4Home have immediately sent out a replacement without question. It is a good value product with massive value added by the company going above and beyond for a customer.to solve a problem. Very refreshing in a world where the computer so often says no.
"Great product, Even better support from Sims4Home. Very happy customer, highly recommend"
Like the privacy
Bought this since my property is new and doesn’t have a bt box yet. Very impressed with the signal quality and performance and with the customer support.
At the first the card provided didn’t work. Was a bit frustrating. But after the video call from Sims4Home we found that card was damaged. They sent me new one O2 preloaded with added photo of proof. I’m very happy at the end, specially the kids. Very professional respond and highly recommended.
What can I say. Just off the phone to Ritchie who helped me...sorry saved me, from not having internet access. Not an issue to some people maybe, but given the tier 4 conditions would be the only way I can communicate with family and friends. He was an absolute star and has made my day, so helpful!!! Thank you Ritchie, Merry Christmas
Would highly recommend the ease of service with Sims4Home. Friendly Communications and simple Immediate activation. Will use again.
Ideal for seasonal use with SIM card router in static lodge without the need of a contract! Excellent service and the seller is readily available to assist with any queries or give any help required.
Nothing to dislike. Easy to set up and fast internet. I’m using it with a HUAWEI E5785 cat 6 300 mbps 4g wifi router as in between moving house and work from home. I would definitely recommend. Only o2 works in my neighbourhood as in a valley. Perfect 👌
Unfortunately with most providers switching off their 3G I lost my Internet connection as 4G isn't stable enough at present in my location to maintain good Internet connection. Research shows o2 are only switching off 3G in 2025 and hopefully providers will have increased coverage range before cut off. O2 Sim card arrived as arrival date stipulated inside plastic mailing bag that held envelope with set up instructions and sim card. Followed instructions and had my Tp link Archer Mr600 connected to Internet on getting sim card activation email. Thumbs up to Richie who called me one evening, after ordering Sim, to see how the o2 sim worked out for me, once set up, and suggested a 3 network sim that maybe better for my area, but to call if there was any problems in getting set up sorted with provided sim card. So currently pretty stable on 3G. I have had 4G preferred and changed band from Auto to manual selecting Band 8 & 20 on router but noted signal strength drop from 3 to 2 bar and Internet drop out mainly in the evenings. So I've left it on 3G & Auto Band meantime. I'm not into online gaming and haven't had any issue watching Netflix through smart TV for the few days I've had Internet through purchased o2 sim.
We live remotely and were without internet after someone set fire to our nearest Three mobile mast, which looks like it will take weeks to be fixed. We found our phones on O2 with limited data allowance were just able to pick up O2 signal if right by a window. So purchased O2 data sim. Came with perfect instructions for activating sim, and spot on instructions for changing our router settings for working with O2 sim rather than our Three sim. Working great! Thanks
Used it with my huwai dongel absolute fantastic unlimited 4/5g for £30 a month with no contract
Bought this with Wi-Fi dongle when I was in between broadband deals and needed to be online 24/7 - those YouTube feeds for kids doesn’t know when to stop you know lol!
I cannot praise Sim4Home high enough. Purchased with TP Link Mi-Fi, dropped a query to their website and within minutes I have received a phone call and full set up instructions via email. Absolutely brilliant customer service.
My mistake I inputted my email address wrongly when activating, the service support was excellent and got me up and running within minutes. I cannot recommend this service highly enough it was truly excellent Thanks again.
Very very impressive! Easy to set up, less that 5 mins to activate and currently running 2 Xbox consoles streaming Fortnite and rainbow, 4 phone's and an iPad without cliching. Was given a courtesy text the day after activation. Really pleased with this product!
This is the second sim I've had from sims4home, absolutely brilliant service. Activation was really quick, Richie was really responsive to emails and it was a lifesaver when our internet was down. Will definitely use again in the future
Bought this to use whilst waiting for Internet to be set up at new home. Tried to connect it to a TP link device but it didn't work so I called up Sims4home customer service and got through to someone straight away who was so helpful and sent me an email with instructions on how to get it working. Can't recommend highly enough!
We purchased the O2 Unlimited 4G data for 1 month SIM for £49.99 as we live in a rural area and our wired BT/Zen Internet is terrible (less than 1 Mbps at times!) We bought it to use with a new TP-Link 4G router also from Amazon. Whilst the results we have been getting are not particularly consistent, especially during the main part of the day, it is still definitely a major improvement over our wired broadband set up. We are getting between 10 and 30 Mbps download and the same or greater upload on occasions. So we are happy with the tech itself and realise we are at the mercy of our geographical location, 3 Km from the nearest cell tower with lots of trees in the way as well!
I am using it between moving houses and it's been brilliant so far. I could easily watch all the streaming services.
I can highly recommend this service. Received my sim card the following day. Had a problem as it would not connect. Contacted Sims4Home within an hour he was on the phone helping me to connect. What a wonderful service. Will use again when needed. Thank you.
Simple to use, great customer service every day of the week. I used it in a TP LINK router.
Fantastic customer service. Had a call from them straight away to check everything was ok and they provided extra info on how to set up my new 4g router. Then need to talk to them again about bolt on and they were amazing!
This was brilliant. Setting it up was really easy. I spoke to a delightful man on the phone and he worked me through. He then sent a couple of emails that highlighted the steps required. The data has been as promised - really fast. My kids and I were tired of the wifi where we were staying for a break in the UK as they were quite slow and dropped too often. This one was like a breath of fresh air. My boys who had been waiting for ages for their Fifa 2024 to download were pleasantly surprised to see it download quickly. The stability of the network has been a relief too. Will stay with O2 for data after this.
We planned a week away in Cornwall and hadn't considered there wouldn't be a solid broadband connection available. Our mobile provider didn't have good (any!) coverage in the area so we needed a solution. O2 apparently had good coverage so we opted for this SIM + Huawei E5576-320 mobile internet device. They arrived quickly and I'm pleased to say did the trick perfectly. Very easy to activate the SIM and good communication from the provider. Will be using again. Thanks!
Excellent service by seller, quick delivery, when I received the sim called to activate, left a message and was called back immediately. Now I top up data every month with them, should have done this years ago. Thanks Sims4Home
I am using the sim card, which is working fine, in a TP-Link 4G LTE mobile WiFi Router which required extra set up. Richie from SIMS4HOME was so helpful in guiding me through this TP-Link process despite him being the sim card provider only. Nothing was to much trouble. I highly recommend this company.

5G is the next generation of mobile technology and gives faster speeds, less buffering and more reliability than 4G. 5G speeds are around five times faster than 4G. This means you could download a full HD movie in as little as three minutes.
Latency, or lag, is much lower – down from an average of 75 milliseconds on 4G, to around 8 milliseconds on 5G.
5G has more bandwidth than 4G which means there is more capacity to use data. So, if you are in a crowded area, there is much less struggle to get signal with 5G
You need:
- A 5G-compatible phone – up to date with the latest software
- A 5G bundle – both our Vodafone and O2 sims are 5G ready
- 5G signal – see a full list of places with O2 5G coverage / Vodafone 5G coverage
5G is the fifth generation of our global mobile networking standard. It has:
- Faster speeds – download music, movies and more in seconds, with speeds of up to 200Mbps
- Lower latency – no interruptions with quick response times making lag a thing of the past
- Greater capacity – no competing for signal even in busy places
Yes, based on research carried out by major international bodies such as the World Health Organisation.
5G frequencies are covered by safety guidelines that are based on extensive research carried out over many years. These guidelines apply to 5G as they do to 2G, 3G and 4G technologies, as well as other radio frequencies used for radio and TV.
The World Health Organisation has concluded that there are no adverse health effects to 5G exposure at levels under the safety guidelines.
