i have to go back to the uk for a couple of months ,whats the best sim card to use as i'm going to buy one online before i go .

thanks

Wife bought a Vodaphone sim card for £5.00 and got £5.00 of free calls a while back at a Vodaphone shop in the UK.

I know nothing about other mobile phone providers, but the O2 Sim pre-paid card I have also works for me in Thailand and New Zealand. Probably the same for other UK providers, but might be worth checking out if roaming is important to you.

I was in the UK last week and bought a T-Mobile sim card. It worked very well and I thought the prices chaeged for Texts etc were quite acceptable. However it was a real pain getting it loaded as T-Mobile needed all sorts of information, which, as a non UK resident I could not give them. The sales girl overcame the problems in the end by using her address etc.

I have advertised this sim card for sale and is still available if wanted. It cost me GBP20 to purchase and it still has over GBP8 of value left. Much easier, before arriving UK put it into your phone and you are active !!

The last time I was back I got a sim card called Mobile World, free of charge just tell them how much credit you want. You can get them online at:

You can also pick them up from any Carphone warehouse shop.

Hope of help
