If you are planning a UK trip, you must by now be looking at places to go, where to stay, and details about the best time of the year to visit, among other things. Don’t miss out one important aspect, that of your communication needs. Would you want to use global roaming on your mobile carrier or opt for an international sim card? No prizes for guessing the right answer. You would obviously want a UK sim card for your needs. Before getting one, here are three key tips you would need to bear in mind:

1. Buy an international sim from the comfort of your home

Wondering how to buy a UK sim card sitting somewhere in India? It’s possible. Just check online for one of the service providers who deliver such cards to your doorstep. You can activate your sim on the day of your journey and land in the UK secure in the knowledge that you don’t have to run around comparing plans at a local store. Saves time, money and lowers anxiety!

2. Consider your duration of stay, WiFi availability

Before buying an international sim card you would need to consider how long you will be staying in the UK. Are you also planning to visit other European countries? If so, you may need a Europe sim. Also, would you use more voice or data? You can choose a plan depending on all these factors. Typically, plans include unlimited incoming calls. Data varies from plan to plan and could be anywhere between 500 MB and 1 GB. Remember that if you are staying on for some more time or you finish off all your data, you can always top up via customer care. Are you staying in a home with WiFi? Are you going to be in places with secure and speedy WiFi? If your answer is a positive yes, then you may not have to worry too much about data. If not, you may have to use it judiciously and smartly.

3. Note down your new local phone number somewhere

Yeah, so you insert your sim card and activate it on the day of the journey, but it helps to store your new sim number in your phone book or even in a notebook so it is accessible when you have to hand over your contact details in the UK for something.

Now that you know about getting yourself a UK sim card, time to order one, and start packing for that much-awaited trip! Bon voyage!
