At FlexiFone, different SIM versions may use different IP address ranges depending on the service type and network configuration. This article explains the differences between our standard V2 SIMs and Enterprise/Data-Only V3 SIMs.
Standard V2 SIMs (Default for All Customers)
Our latest FlexiFone V2 SIMs use an offshore UK IP address based in the Isle of Man.
For the vast majority of customers, this works perfectly fine and provides normal internet access without any issues.
Some websites or services will detect the connection as being outside mainland UK. To resolve this, you can use any VPN to access restricted content.
For eg. certain banking, streaming, or security-sensitive services may require a mainland UK IP address for which any free or paid VPN app can be used.

Enterprise V3 Data-Only SIMs (Local UK IP)
We also offer Enterprise/Data-Only SIMs with a mainland UK IP range routed through London.
These SIMs are mainly designed for enterprise, IoT, business, and customers requiring UK mainland geolocation services.
Enterprise V3 Data-Only SIM Details
IP Type | IP Address | Geolocation |

This option is currently primarily available for Enterprise and Data-Only customers.
If you require a mainland UK IP, please contact our support team for availability.
Upcoming Consumer V3 SIM Upgrade
We will soon begin offering free upgrades to V3 SIMs for eligible customers using Data-Only plans in Q3 2026.
Important:
V3 SIM is Data-Only and no Voice/SMS capability. It also supports Roaming in additional destinations. It is designed for a segment of customers who travel often and require
The difference between V2 and V3 is that the V3 supports a local UK IP and more Roaming Destinations; however, the network switching speeds of the V2 SIM are much quicker.
Customers having a Voice/SMS plan will not be offered any upgrades.
