My wife doesn't use a mobile phone normally, but when we come over to England I would like to activate an old one of mine so that we can contact each other when we are apart.
It's only for a couple of weeks, so what would be the simplest option to get a sim card and phone number please?
I had to buy such a SIM just three weeks ago. I got a PAYG SIM from EE and bought a top up voucher from Tesco. I just put it in, no registration required
Most mobile shops/stalls can unlock a mobile for a fee. Or you may find instructions on the Net. Else contact your old mobile service supplier, you may be entitled to a free unlock, and even if not they can do it for a fee.
Everything Everywhere was the company formed to run both the Orange and T-Mobile brands after the merger. They claimed the newly formed parent company was not going to go to market and Orange and T-Mobile would continue as they were, save for merging systems and getting savings in the background. That "promise" didn't last long. Since then, as folk will be aware, BT bought the lot. Weird since they used to have O2 so whatever logic was used to diverge from them clearly no longer applies.
