Good sim for UK?

The T-mobile tariff has recently changed to 20p/min 1st 2 minutes, then 10p

If you want to call mostly to UK, then the cheapest at the moment are Family Mobile (9p/min) or Asda Mobile (8p/min)

For calls to USA, Talkmobile (part the Carphone Warehouse) has a 2 pence a minute offer for September only; their UK tariff is 15p/min for 1st 3 minutes, then 10p/min

All the networks have pretty good coverage, though there are places where you may find only 3 or 2. And the main networks all have free SIM card offers

All of the main networks have roaming abroad, but one or two virtual providers don't seem to (Nomi, probably Talkmobile ...)

Yup I read many of the networks are starting to, claiming they have to because of the eu roaming regs, upping their domestic UK rates.

Although at the rate the UK£ is falling, it won't be long before 20p is worth less, in USD, than 15p was a few months ago!

Also, I can't seem to find the billing period for the calls, by the second, by 6 seconds, by the minute?
