Best SIM plan for international travel from US to UK

Hello,

I am an American and I plan to travel to the UK from 23 June to 25 July. I am looking for a two month SIM card plan with unlimited data, (maybe some texting) and a cheap way to call the US. What would be my best/cheapest option?

Thank you.

Hi there,
I think that one of the cheapest and best ways would be to get a GiffGaff SIM (runs on the O2 network) and a £10 'goody bag' - ( http://giffgaff.com/goodybags ) Then use someone like Superline ( http://www.superline.co.uk/mobile.html ) to make calls for 2.5p per minute to the US.
I use both, Giffgaff more recently and superline for many years. The £10 Pay As You Go 'goody bag' will give you unlimited data, unlimited texts and 250 any network minutes which will be used when you call the local access number for superline. There is a £15 per month SIM that gives you 400 minutes and a £20 per month SIM that gives you 600 minutes.
I can't think of a cheaper and more straight forward way to make calls to the US from a mobile in the UK.
Hope that helps. Enjoy your stay over here and I hope the weather stays good for you :smileyhappy:
Regards from Blighty.

Waealu,
I would wait until I got there and get local prepaid phone they should have unlimited long distance. If your hotel has wireless you can always use your laptop with skype to stay in touch. Enjoy your trip. :smileyhappy:
