Just back from a trip to the UK with family. At Melbourne Airport got offered a SIM card for the UK from Simcorner. Operates on the 3 network in the UK. $40 for 300 mins, 3000 txts and (most importantly for me) unlimited data. Popped into my unlocked iphone on arrival and worked a treat. One off payment, no extra fees and simply removed and replaced by my Aus SIM on return. Phone shows I used about 6.5GB of data. very pleased and thought I'd share as I was a bit suspicious of the deal initially. Wife decided to wait and buy SIM in the UK and now wishes she hadn't. Would certainly use again.

Thanks for the info - can I ask if the texts need to be within the UK or can you text home (Oz) ?

Hmm, sounds very like : which at times has been available for $15.30 (£8.50). Has 'Feel At Home' for no cost roaming across much of Europe.

I'd agree it's a good bet for holidays - but just to say you paid a premium for buying at the airport.

That's a lot of 1 reviews!

UK texts only. Could still receive from Oz of course. Garry - looks similar I must agree but I needed a SIM to use right as soon as we arrived at LHR. My data speeds certainly seemed good and I chewed through quite a bit in a short space of time. Won't be for everyone but worked for me

Thanks DML

3's deals look like good value, but it would be worth checking their coverage maps. Last time I checked, their Network was good in the urban areas but not so strong in the boondocks.

good point windy. I was travelling in the Scottish Highlands including the Outer Hebrides and the cover (esp 3G) was excellent, better than O2 that my wife was using.
