Advice Need On Sim For Traveling Companion

get the same British SIMs for both of you - they are almost free with a quid or two credit on when registered - I could have offered to send you a couple, but I'm just about to leave for 3 weeks

for occasional roaming with a UK SIM, Vodafone is probably the one - with its Passport scheme you can make off-peak calls for 5p/min to landines, with 75p connect charge - use this with a calling card like Bizon to call home

It looks like other roaming costs will be dropping pretty soon, but maybe not in time for this trip - I expect you aren't planning to go to the football World Cup for which T-mobile UK has just announced roaming at 25p

you might consider easyMobile SIMs for calls between you at 3p/minute, and they keep having special offers like the current ?15 credit for ?1 ..... read the thread I wrote about it though, as you need to cancel the SIM when you leave to avoid 75p a month low use charges
