Default Cheapest prepaid UK mobile sim?? (Oz spending Xmas in UK)

Hi Guys

I am making the trip home for Chrissie but will need a phone whilst I am there.

I have an unlocked mobile phone, can anyone recommend a prepaid 10 pounds sim card I can easily buy?

Thanks in advance.

There are lots of options now, but the one I use is http://giffgaff.com/

Top up with a £12 goody bag - 250 UK minutes, unlimited UK texts and unlimited mobile Internet for one month.

You do need an address to get the SIM sent to.

Go to somewhere like TESCO, you can buy a sim card there for £10, most of the major supermarkets have sim only deals which will go into any UNLOCKED phone, and no waiting for delivery.

Yes, a sim only deal is cool with me as I dont need the net and cant have delivery as I am turning up on the doorstop a surprise.

I am hoping that one of the 3 fones I am taking are unlocked

Is there a particular sim which has the cheapest call rates anyone knows of?

You can usually find a "little man in the market" who will unlock them if they arent too ancient. My DH has a 3 sim which is ample for his needs and I have an 02 one - neither of us spends more than £10 in the month and both of us get a good data allowance as part of that -DH's is probably marginally more generous than mine but I have a cheapo bolt on for overseas calls which his doesnt have. Coverage is about the same. Getting a sim is a breeze.
