Asking for a friend who is about to spend the next four months in the southern (Greek) part of Cyprus.

Can anyone please advise what would be the best mobile phone SIM cardfor him to buy locally or could he get a UK SIM card that included roaming?

He would be making both local calls within Cyprus and calls back to the UK.

Thanks for any pointers.

Tesco Mobile is one of the few providers that offers included roaming with no restrictive fair usage policy.

It might make his holiday easier if he has a Greek SIM card (the retailer will need to photocopy his passport).

I have a phone with a dual SIM card so that was ideal for me. Your friend might find that the best solution.

If he is only phoning friends and family in the UK then setting them all up with WhatsApp or similar would be sensible. Free calls.

If he's on O2 then he could just use the phone in Cyprus the same as he would in the UK.

Otherwise take a look at an eSim like Airalo:

O2 has a 25GB fair usage limit for roaming
