UK Travel Data SIM � Unlimited UK Data � O2 UK Network � Works with Unlocked Devices

Awesome product. I could not be happier. The best part about all this is the customer service is top notch. This company went above and beyond to get me running here in the United Kingdom. Their help phone number is beyond belief. I am writing this review with the aim of benefiting both travelers and my medical school colleagues who need to arrive in the UK with a functioning cellphone and plenty of data/Wi-Fi so they can stay on par with their colleagues, communications, and internet needs. I am a medical student from the United States. I flew to the UK in November 2023 to complete clinical rotations in the United Kingdom as part of my curriculum. Our rotations begin the same day which we arrive. Being properly prepared to switch cellphone carriers or make sure you have a plan in place for adequate Wi-Fi if needed will save you from a headache as you start the rotation in the hospital the same day you arrive. There are 300 or more Americans and Canadians from my school in the UK at any given moment. Hopefully this helps some of you and our colleagues that follow My visa application was pricey and came with a Sim Card. I thought that I had my phone situation solved “sorted.” I was wrong. The sim was slow and only allowed 2gb of data total. My apartment also came with Wi-Fi, but construction is mainly concrete where I am, and our Wi-Fi was only functional in our kitchen. My colleague, who also arrived in November, was assigned another region in the UK and his situation was more limited. His two cellphones were all locked. He was looking at having to buy a new phone. His apartment Wi-Fi was only functional from 5pm-8pm. The rest of the time it was lagging to the point it was unusable. You don’t appreciate what you have until you don’t have it. We both needed solutions to our cellphones to allow us to communicate with our preceptors and Wi-Fi that would allow us sufficient data to cover our medical resources online and also fast enough that we could attend the mandatory, weekly zoom/meetup meetings. With Clinicals having started the day we arrived in the UK. we were already going to be a week behind in studies. Playing catch up is never easy. I asked the locals what they used. some recommended Vodafone unlimited data plan and when you go to costa coffee, show them you are with Vodafone, you get a free coffee. I looked on Amazon so that I could have the Sim Cards delivered. (My recommendation is to get a proper Sim before you ever leave the country. Also, the Sim Card that comes with an expedited Visa should not be considered a solution.) I found the Sims4Travel site listing Vodafone and O2 sim cards that were prepaid and had unlimited data. I then checked their cell tower strength in London, our locations, and overall reception in UK. Both Sims looked like possible solutions to me I purchased both as I needed something that worked ASAP. I also purchased a sim card router to put them in. I showed my colleague who immediately purchased the Vodaphone sim and a mobile router the size of a phone that had a 13-hr. battery for just over a hundred bucks. His arrived first and He tested it in the basement. Using the sim card modem he was streaming a video on the laptop while simultaneously being in a what’s app video call with me. He had no connectivity problems... He was stoked. He had a functional solution. He just carries his sim card modem in his pocket, and it gives him wi-fi everywhere he goes and to multiple devices at a time. my experience with the customer support really means a lot to me. My Vodafone sim card arrived a few days after my buddy got his. I had ordered a different modem than my colleague and I was struggling to figure out how to set it up. I contacted the modem support chat who said, “Vodafone should work in the Wi-Fi 6 modem, please reach out to the carrier. Sims4Travel had a post card in the package with online activation, and tech support email and phone number. I called it and there was an immediate answer. He went through the settings with me while I was on the phone. He sent me a screenshot of how it needed to look. We eventually got it running. Two days later my other sim arrived, O2-sim. (I plan to use one sim in my phone, but my modem can also run dual sims. if needed, I can put both sims in my modem and then my connection becomes really fast... I called the Sims4Travel, and I got the same guy, and he remembered me. He treated me as a friend. Far better than I have ever been treated by a phone company in the United States. We initiated the 2-hour activation, I received a text that the sim was now active. An additional 3 hours passed before I tried the Sim in any application. At this time, I received a text not from a machine, but the tech support I spoke with prior, asking if the Sim was functioning properly. I confirmed that it was. Costumer service is top notch. I believe for those traveling to the UK, who require cellular and data connections, this product paired with its customer support is the best. Also, to the medical students coming to the UK, make sure you know if your carrier covers the UK and at what rate. I had other colleagues with coverage that their phones charged an additional connection fee of $5-10 per day. If you are in this situation, I would highly recommend that you sort this out before you leave the United States/Canada. It would have saved me a lot of time my first week of clinicals. If you are like my colleague and myself, not only looking for a solution for our mobile phones, but we also needing a mechanism of getting Wi-Fi without signing a cellular contract. These prepaid data sims became the solution for both. They will work in unlocked phone and the sim card modems. The costumer support is better than any other company I have worked with. I wish that I would have had this sim before I left the United States as it is an essential precaution for me as medical students. The loss is minimal if not needed and an essential time saver if needed.

YES! THS SIM CARD WILL WORK FOR YOUR iPhone XR. My phone is on the VISIBLE network (pay as you go Verizon essentially) AND my phone is unlocked as I own it outright. I meant to activate this prior to leaving for my trip, but forgot and only remembered an hour from landing in London Heathrow. So- I frantically paid for internet access and redeemed my code to activate the sim. 1. ( LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, DO THIS THE DAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE & BEFORE YOU GET ON THE PLANE per the instructions!) 2. Once I redeemed my code, I inserted the SIM card into my phone. Because I had Plane WiFi, my phone continued to text whilst on the plane. 10 minutes from landing, I toggled on this SIM card in my settings. (LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE: YOU NEED TO TOGGLE OFF your regular provider service at the same time or the CARD WON'T WORK). 3. I deplaned, went through customs and relied on the good people of London to help my navigate the train system to my Hotel with no service. This was a 2 hour process as I made a few errors along the way. I got to my hotel and met up with my best friend and STILL didn't have service, so I reached out to customer service from her phone. They were very responsive, but I missed their timely response as once I was with her and had access to her phone, we were OUT THE DOOR. 4. It was the second day that FINALLY toggled off my regular service and then everything worked a CHARM! 5. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING AND USING WHATSAPP whilst in the UK- for some reason its was far more reliable than iMessage- which proved unreliable at best even with working VODAFONE service. However, my WHATSAPP worked perfectly every time. 6. FINAL LESSON: You will likely go through dead spots in your travels so just keep that in mind. You will very likely not have service when on the Tube. Whenever I could connect to WiFi I did, especially when accessing high data apps like Instagram or TikTok. Public WiFi was widely available- in most of their major train stations and on any passenger train. I'll definitely buy this and use it again, but do better by myself by setting things up a day early as the instructions encourage you to do ;) The instructions also say that it can take 8 hours before service fully kicks in. I would say to plan for that at minimum.

This card supplies good 4G data service for the stated (limited) time period. It is NOT a Vodaphone mobile phone service card, ie. you cannot use it to make mobile phone calls on the Vodaphone service. It worked well in my tablet to allow me internet access without needing a wifi connection. I am thankful that I also bought a GiffGaff sim card for actual mobile phone service on my cell phone.

Was going to be in the UK for 7 days, and did not want to use my Verizon travel plan, which, while giving you phone, gives you horrible internet speeds after 500MB, and costs $10 a day. I saved about $20-30 total, but I had great access to data at all times. A few things to know: 1) Activation: I activated about 1 week prior to travel (went during Christmas, so I didn't want any snafus). You definitely want a minimum of 48 hours from start of activation to start of use. You WILL need your Amazon order number to activate, so have that ready. 2) Data/Phone: This is a DATA ONLY plan, with no voice plan. As such, I would highly recommend two apps here: one is Whatsapp, and the other is Google Voice. The first is to call people at home (they need to have it installed on their phone); I have not had luck using it for calls to businesses. The second is if you need to call for emergencies, such as credit card fraud checks (yes, my credit card company actually wanted me to call about a fraud charge while I was traveling) or if you need to give a number (it is a US number) to call while in the UK. Both worked for me. If you haven't practiced changing SIM cards before traveling, I would definitely give it a practice run. Would also recommend a plastic storage case for your old SIM and SIM changer pin so you can easily keep safe while traveling. Excellent service to use.

I bought this for my trip to Glasgow and London and followed all the instructions correctly on an unlocked phone and while the sim did activate I can't call or text the only thing I can do is use data. Every time I try to text I get "error code 50" I looked that up and found out its an international policy to stop the sim from working for 24 hours after activation. I thought frustrating but I should still be able to use it, nope. It's been two days now and I still can't send any texts or make any calls and It won't give me a number. Tried to get in contact with support and they are never there or hang up on me. TLDR: DO NOT GET THIS!

Purchased and easily activated the SIM card online easily before heading to UK. Immediately was able to use the SIM upon arrival in UK. Had great coverage in London and central UK around Derby with good speeds. Locations services were a bit off sometimes but worked much better than Google Fi. Data only, no phone number with the card. As a result used this with a Samsung a phone while still using my iPhone for texts and calls.,

Used this for a 2 week trip through Scotland that including time in Skye, Inverness, Spittal of Glenshee, St Andrews, Stirling and more. It worked well throughout the trip...just as advertised.

In the UK for more than a few days? If I had stuck with my Verizon plan it would have cost me $10/day for 10 days. Instead, I spent $50 and used my Google voice number to communicate on data. Saved half and had service everywhere. These are good for 30 days. If you're going for more than a week; it's a no brainer! Didn't need the tech support, I got it going on my own but glad to hear it's good!

We bought this for my daughter who is studying abroad for a semester in Scotland. We had some trouble when we first arrived because we had not activated the SIM correctly. However, the customer service staff helped us promptly over email and call and got things going very quickly. It has now been a month in and we received the renewal option and will be using this service for the next few months. The connection is always strong and my daughter communicates primarily through Whatapp with talk, video and text. The unlimited data makes her not worry about how long she’s on for and it’s better than her school or dorm connection so she often uses this for school applications and surfing/streaming. Thank you!!

Amazing SIM card really I use to have o2 but it wasn’t good at all This one is very fast very easy to install The connection is fantastic. And is the same price as my old o2 one which is great.

Dead on arrival. The online form to activate the sim doesn’t work leaving us without a functional sim

Bought to use in Ireland ( both the Uk and the Republic). Put it into the phone and it worked. Simple as that. Never let me down, not once. Tethered a few times and that worked seamlessly as well. Great product highly recommend!

Had an issue where I had given them one digit wrong in the number but the customer service to rectify the problem was second to none
