USA 10GB for £12, Turkey 20GB for £15: Breeze eSIM Review UK (October 2026)

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Is Breeze eSIM any good for UK travellers? As of 26 October 2026, yes for most short trips: a 10GB USA eSIM from Breeze costs £12 for 30 days (shown against £16), Turkey and Japan are also £12 for 10GB, and Spain is £10, with hotspot included and validity that only starts when you land. Breeze is data only, so you keep your normal UK number for calls and texts, and it holds a 4.2 out of 5 rating from 2,714 reviews on Trustpilot. The main things to weigh up are that it has no app, support is by online form, and its multi-country Europe plan is dearer than a single-country eSIM. This SwitchSquid review covers Breeze prices in pounds, how the eSIM works, where it is cheapest, and when Mozillion Travel eSIM is the better buy.

What is Breeze eSIM?

Breeze is a travel eSIM seller. Instead of buying a plastic SIM at the airport, you buy a data plan on Breeze’s website before you go, install it on your phone as a second line, and switch it on when you arrive. Breeze sells single-country plans for more than 190 destinations, regional plans such as Europe, and a global plan.

Each Breeze eSIM connects to local partner networks. On its USA page, for example, Breeze lists Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, with 4G and 5G where available. Your UK SIM stays in the phone, so WhatsApp, iMessage and your banking texts keep working on your normal number while Breeze handles the data. If you are new to the idea, our guide to what an eSIM is and how it works explains the basics.

Breeze eSIM prices in pounds (October 2026)

Prices below are in pounds from Breeze’s and Mozillion’s own product pages, when we checked on 26 October 2026. Fixed-data plans of 5GB and above last 30 days; 1GB plans last 7 days. Where Breeze shows a crossed-out price, we list it as “shown against”.

What the numbers say: Breeze is cheapest per gigabyte on its bigger single-country plans. Turkey 20GB at £15 works out at 75p per GB, and USA 20GB at £21 is £1.05 per GB. The 1GB plans at £4 are fine for a weekend but poor value per GB. The Europe regional plan costs about twice as much as a Spain-only plan for the same 10GB, so only buy it if you really are crossing borders.

Do you still need roaming from your UK network? Probably not for data. Our best travel eSIM deals this month page compares Breeze with other providers by country.

How does Breeze compare with Mozillion Travel eSIM?

For the USA, Mozillion was £1 cheaper on 26 October 2026: 10GB for 30 days at £11 against Breeze’s £12. Mozillion also sells a 10GB plan that lasts 7 days for £9 and 25GB for 30 days at £25. Breeze wins on bigger bundles (20GB for £21) and on its wider list of single-country plans with crossed-out prices when we checked on 26 October 2026.

• Choose Breeze if you want 20GB or more, you are going to Turkey, Japan or Spain, or you are buying for two or more people.

• Choose Mozillion if you want the lowest price for a 10GB US trip and prefer to buy from a UK retailer in pounds.

• Either way, check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you pay.

What do Breeze customers say?

On 26 October 2026, Breeze’s Trustpilot page showed a TrustScore of 4.2 out of 5 from 2,714 reviews. Independent reviewers broadly agree on three points. Speeds are good on the big local networks, setup is simple once you have the QR code, and the main weak spots are the lack of an app and support that runs through a web form rather than live chat.

That matches what we would expect from a web-only seller. You manage your plans and top-ups by logging in to Breeze’s website, and Breeze says it sends an alert as your data runs down. If you like doing everything from one app on your phone, that is a genuine drawback; if you just want data that works when you land, it matters less.

How to set up a Breeze eSIM before you fly

1. Check your phone. It must be eSIM-compatible and network-unlocked. Most iPhones from the XS onwards and recent Samsung and Google Pixel phones support eSIM.

2. Buy the plan at home. Breeze says validity starts on first use in the destination, not at purchase, so you can buy a few days early.

3. Install it on Wi-Fi. Scan the QR code from a second screen or use the manual details, and label the line something like “Travel”.

4. Leave it switched off until you land. Then set the Breeze line as your data line and turn on data roaming for that line only.

5. Keep your UK line for calls and texts, but turn its data roaming off so your UK network cannot charge you for data.

Hotspot, top-ups and unlimited plans

Breeze says tethering is included on every plan, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel companion at no extra charge. You can top up at any time by logging in to your account. Breeze also sells “Unlimited Essential” day plans, for example 7 days in the USA for £22. These carry a daily fair-use allowance, after which speeds slow, so read the allowance on the plan page before you choose unlimited over a fixed 10GB or 20GB plan.

For most holidays, a fixed plan is simpler and cheaper. A family streaming on a hotel TV might use 2GB to 3GB in an evening; maps, messaging and social media for a week usually fit in 5GB to 10GB per person.

Who should not buy a Breeze eSIM?

• People who need a local phone number. Breeze plans are data only, with no calls or SMS on a local number.

• Owners of locked or older phones without eSIM support.

• Anyone whose UK plan already includes the destination. Some UK SIM-only deals include roaming in Europe or selected countries, so check yours first.

• People who want app-based support. Breeze has no dedicated app at the time of writing.

If your UK contract is ending anyway, see whether a SIM-only deal with roaming built in suits you better; our PAC code guide explains how to keep your number when you switch.

Fit summary

• Good fit for Breeze: you are going to one country for one to four weeks and want 10GB to 20GB at a fixed price, with hotspot included.

• Good fit for Mozillion: you want the lowest price for a 10GB USA trip and prefer a UK retailer.

• Consider a regional plan: you are crossing several European borders in one trip.

• Consider your UK plan: your contract already includes roaming at the destination.

Can I use a Breeze eSIM as a hotspot?

Yes. Breeze says tethering is included on every plan at no extra cost. Hotspot use counts towards your data allowance, so a laptop can use it up quickly.

Is Breeze cheaper than roaming with my UK network?
