Update on Best SIM for International Voice and Data in UK

lizzie1955

I'll be in London for 10 days in July. I have an unlocked Samsung Note I717. I'll need a SIM for voice (local and international calls) and data.

Last year I used Lebara. Data was free and calls to the US were very inexpensive. However, it doesn't look as though they are offering that plan anymore.

Is the O2 International SIM the best choice now. Are there others I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Lizzie

The O2 international SIM deal is probably your best option Lizzie - I was going to suggest Lycamobile, but their US rates have gone to 5p a minute now.

Hope this information assists...

Thanks Steve.

I also saw that Lebara has a 29 GBP 30 day flat rate plan that includes calls and internet. I've e-mailed them to see if there is any chance of bringing my old card back to life. As I recall, I had quite a bit of credit left on it. I was sure they'd say no but I got an e-mail back yesterday asking for further verification that the card is mine. I sent the info they needed and we'll see what happens.
