WTB: UK SIM for short term data..ship to USA

UKSTEVE · 23-05-2013, 21:38

Hi Tivoboy,

I think the best option for your would be a Toggle Mobile SIM - toggle mobile

That way you would get a SIM card with the ability to sign up for 500MB of data for £5.00 (via text message) and be able to call the US for 3 pence per minute?

What size SIM do you need? I have a nano SIM I can send you for free - you'll need to register and load it with £10.00 of credit. It's suitable for an iPhone 5 or some of the latest Android handsets.

I also have a standard SIM pack (well, micro-SIM if you're being a purist) with £2.50 credit on it - I bought it for £5.00.

Bang me an email - sg@mail.com - or PM on here - and we'll get you sorted

Best Regards / Steve

How did you get a Toggle nano-SIM? When I ordered one from Toggle, they sent me a hand-cut SIM card that was 0.76mm thick, i.e. 13% thicker than a nano-SIM.

Yes, the nano-SIMs are cut by the dealer I know, so they are outside of normal tolerances.

That having been said, they fit into my HTC One Plus X and an iPhone 5 with no problems.

And they are free

Best Regards / Steve

According to this page, your HTC takes a micro-SIM, not a nano-SIM. Micro-SIMs are 0.76mm so no problem.

My HTC One X Plus takes a nano-SIM - it was a pre-release unit sent to journalists on loan.

I liked it, so I bought it at a discount. I realised when a colleague got a handset that there were differences.

I used to write for Mobile News, a fortnightly cellular trade weekly, here in the UK.

FYI there are two versions of the Samsung Galaxy SIII in circulation - one takes a mini-SIM, whilst the other takes a micro SIM

I also have a Star W007 dual SIM Android handset, but that's another story.
