Is it possible to activate a physical or E-sim card whilst in the Europe-zone ? Is connection to a UK cell tower necessary for activation? Currently in Switzerland, is it doable from my location?

There is no guarantee it will work from Switzerland.. All you can do is try..

You will need O2 to push an esim to your MyO2 and you would then need to be able to access your MyO2 to install it (not always possible without receiving a verification text).

Guide: How to find help & contact O2 

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this
Thanks

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
