Context
Three UK has introduced a new 30-day eSIM trial for businesses. The offer allows companies to test its 5G network alongside their existing service, using a dual-SIM setup. This lets firms compare coverage and speeds directly without ending any current contracts. The trial is initially available in Birmingham and Bristol. Together, these cities host more than 50,000 businesses across financial services, tech, aerospace, and media sectors. According to Three, they were chosen for their rapid growth and the provider’s near-complete 5G coverage in both outdoor and indoor locations.
