Hello as the question states has anyone got a current iPhone and used in the UK after setting up here? (In the uk).

My husbands on Vodafone and they do esims but want to know if it’s a smooth process?

Thanks!

Not exactly what you’re asking but both me and the wife has bought phones in the US in the past when on trips and used them back in the UK without issue. Obviously the chargers won’t work but never used esims.

15 Pro 512, yeah. The phone + the flight round trip was cheaper than getting it here lol 🤣
It was just a bit trickier to preorder cos I needed an american phone number, then there was some payment drama cos my bank declined initially, then they cancelled my order, then I cried, then they put it back and took my money so when I landed I went from JFK straight to Apple Store haha
