Here is Voda's number:

Pay as you talk +44 7836 191 919

Vodafone Contact us

Does the address you give matter? (I don't live in the UK nor am I there.)

I only got this SIM for lower data roaming rates in Canada. My operator charges 10.24 USD/MiB while Vodafone UK charges 4.99 GBP/MiB (lower due to exchange rates) in Canada.

Just give them any valid address. You can use a friends address or a hotel or so.

Okay, Let me get this straight: Your provider charges about $10/mb to roam in Canada.Voda lists blackberry and using the phone as a modem as 4.99 GBP. Anything else is 8.00 GBP. So, I am assuming you plan on using the former, for it to be even remotely worthwhile.
