United Kingdom SIM Cards & Calling Cards
United Kingdom Prepaid SIM Card
On a rainy night in London, you find shelter in a festive little pub and strike up a hardy conversation with a young chap named Henry.
It takes a while, but suddenly you realize you're not just talking to any Henry. This is Prince Henry!
Luckily, you brought your phone so you can get your photo taken with the young prince. And of course you can send it straight back home to show off.
For those times when you just need to get in touch with someone in United Kingdom or back home, prepaid SIM cards offer you the benefits of using your own phone at local rates. Simply replace your SIM card with a prepaid United Kingdom SIM card and you will be set up to make all those important phone calls and send quick messages across the world, without paying excessively high roaming costs.
What our partner Telestial says

All incoming calls while your travel the UK are FREE, regardless of where they originate. Pay the local rate for local calls and use a cellular phone like you do at home. And unlike home, your UK SIM card is prepaid so there is no need for a contract.

- A local phone number while in the UK
- Free incoming calls
- SMS (text messaging)

Please Note: Your United Kingdom SIM Card will require a SIM-unlocked GSM 900/1800 compatible international cell phone. If you do not have your own international cell phone, Telestial has several compatible models available for your review and consideration.
