don't you like international sims like Travelsim or icq um+? Imho they are cheaper than local sims (above all if you travelling not only in 1 country)

I like the rates, but I don't like the delay of the callback when you are dialing an overseas number. Also, with T-Mobile, I'm assured of an instant connection when I direct-dial my son in Canada

. At most, we'll only be using our phones to call each other just in case we choose to go our own way (ie. shopping) and for sure only once a day to call Canada and see how things are back home while traveling in Europe.

I also want a standard UK number versus some weird Estonian number.

Just like the heading says, I received them today! Popped them in my Motorola L6 and my daughter's Siemens M55 (both are unlocked) and the sim cards are ACTIVE!

I actually even received a text message from a promotional long distance company in the UK, more proof that the sim card is active. All I need to do now is top-up the cards when we arrive at Heathrow!

THANKS to all who replied

. Now I am able to give my UK cell phone # out to the shuttles I've arranged along our trip, as well as our relatives who we will be meeting up with.
