That's exactly why I still have my Orange Call Abroad SIM (similar to Camel; no longer available). It's cheap enough.

Orange was the only UK provider that would let me register my Canadian credit card, too, so it's easy to keep it alive.

It doesn't hurt that I have an awesome, awesome phone number (0796 xyxyxxx)!
