Thank you for both of your replies. They have been very informative. The T-Mobile UK sim card seems like a very reasonable option.

I just happened to take a peek at eBay today and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-NEW-T-MOBILE-U...2em118Q2el1247

Would these work for what I intend to use them for? The way I understand it, if I buy them, I can give the mobile#s out right away (even if they are NOT activated yet) to the hotels and pickup services that I have booked with so they can contact me if necessary while we're on our trip. Of course, as soon as we get to London, I will use the top-up card supplied for each sim to add at least 5pounds to each sim to activate the service.

I know there's a FREE promo for 2 sim cards right now. I'm trying to contact the Hotel i'm booked at in London to see if I can use their address with my name, and then just have them email me the mobile#s when they get the package. That's if they agree to this, of course

As far as my son in Canada phoning us on our mobile phones, I believe Primus TalkBroadband have an option where you pay an additional $10 for the month that you are in Europe, you get to make a number of calls for FREE to a cell or landline.

Thanks again for your great advice!!!
