Default Temporary UK Mobile Phone

Back in UK for 10 days and needed a UK mobile. Ordered a SIM card from giffgaff.com before I left for UK, it arrived at my (UK) home in 2 days, put it in my iPhone, registered and paid online and bingo. £12 package giving 1 month's use, 250 mins and unlimited Internet. Impressed.

Seeks very good. Use Lyca or Libara myself but never there for a longish stay!

If you are traveling with multiple devices in areas without access to wifi - this works really well. We were in UK with 2 phones, 2 iPads and a laptop and all connected with this rented mobile wifi hub. It's really useful.

They send it to you or you can collect at some airports, £4.50 per day and then you simply post it back to them.

or alternatively, use the iPhone with the unlimited internet, and set that up as a Personal wifi hotspot....
