Community Fibre, a London-based broadband provider best known for its affordable high-speed internet packages, has taken a bold step into the mobile connectivity space. The company has announced the launch of its new international eSIM service, targeting frequent travelers who want a simple way to stay connected abroad without facing steep roaming bills.

Already known in London for delivering great value versus the national broadband providers, Community Fibre is now offering affordable data roaming to help travellers avoid hefty data roaming fees.

The Community Fibre eSIM can be easily set up to provide instant data within minutes, with no hidden fees, charges, or contracts, to help you stay connected abroad to provide:

• Great value: Save up to 96% with our prepaid data plans in over 160 countries.
• No hidden costs: Pay for what you need upfront. Top up at any time, even when you’re offline.
• Easy set up. Instant access: Plans instantly activate once you arrive at your destination.
• Share data via hotspot: Keep your household’s devices safe by avoiding public WiFi.
• Dual SIM option: Use your physical SIM to receive mobile calls and SMS for roaming, WhatsApp calls and messages.
• 4G and 5G connection: Get the best coverage and speeds available.

The flexible 4G and 5G eSIM global data roaming plans allow users to choose the amount of data they need and the number of days they’ll need it for, helping globe-trotters to save money by avoiding their existing mobile carrier’s hefty data roaming charges (where applicable). You can even use it alongside your existing physical SIM and number.

Although Community Fibre Broadband operates exclusively in London, as well as parts of Surrey and Sussex, the Community Fibre eSIM can be purchased and used by anybody living in the UK.

Here’s how it works: 

1. Check whether your phone is unlocked by your mobile provider. You can find more information at communityfibre.co.uk/esim to find out how to easily unlock your device and save up to 96% on international data roaming costs.
2. Download the Community Fibre eSIM App before travelling, which can be done via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
3. Follow the installation guide and install your eSIM.
4. Select and pay for your data plan and you are all set.

Users will then be able to roam instantly with global coverage.

What This Means for the Future

This launch suggests Community Fibre sees itself evolving into a broader digital connectivity brand. If successful, the move could encourage other broadband-focused companies to follow suit, bridging the gap between home and travel connectivity. For consumers, it’s another sign that eSIM technology is moving from niche to mainstream faster than many expected.
