Lebara does post and prepay esims
The eSIM is available for both Lebara mobile postpaid and prepaid subscriptions. You can use your eSIM abroad as well; there are no differences compared to your traditional SIM card.
I think it's only a matter of time as more devices become e-sim ready that all companies will offer it. Why wait for a physical SIM card when you can scan a QR code and go? Great for travellers. Saves the environment by not manufacturing and posting out a piece of plastic that eventually ends up as landfill - if not recycled.
From Vodafone
An eSIM is a tiny chip that’s already installed in a device. Vodafone Pay monthly customers can enjoy the flexibility of an eSIM instead of a physical SIM on a number of compatible devices.
From O2
Can I get an O2 esim as an Enterprise customer?If you’re an Enterprise customer, you can use an esim if you have a compatible phone.
You can request an esim pack using
My O2 Business, or by calling your customer service helpdesk.
We’ll send you an esim voucher with a QR code, which you’ll need to scan using your phone’s camera. You’ll also need a wifi connection. To move your existing mobile number across to an esim, you’ll need the Sim Serial Number (SSN) of your esim profile, which you’ll also find in your esim pack.
Whenever you upgrade or replace your phone, you’ll need a new esim pack. Unlike a plastic sim, esims can’t be moved from one device to another, so you’ll need to request a sim swap from your old esim to your new one.

Can I get an O2 esim on Pay As You Go? We’re not currently offering esim to our Pay As You Go customers. We’re working on this and it won’t be long before we can offer esims to all our customers with compatible phones.
