Hello,

When i come over to the poloshow i won't stay offline, cos being offline is s..t as you all might know.

Is that one the right simcard to stay online with my surfstick in my notebook?

ebay item 180892901223

Or much better would be a micro sim for my iphone, can anybody advise me something like the sim card in this auction?

Shouldn't cost more than 5 to 10 GBP's and should last for 5 days and about..... i dunno.... ~200MB??? Even enough to stay online and in touch with people via iphone and whatsapp for example....

Hope for some feedback.

cheers

I would say purchase a new sim for your notebook. If it is a standard sized sim, go online on the internet and search "Three store" These will give you the best options for a low price. The problem of buying of ebay, they could already have been used. I recommend a top up simcard with texts and internet for say £10 GBP

For example £10 - 150MB

Hope this helped

I'd check what decent 3G coverage there is at billing to determine what network to go for!

O2 is normally a safe bet, But the only reason i say Three is because it is bargain for buck

3 was shit for me.. but that was in 2009. (at billing trying to stream topgear for Christian to watch funnily enough)

i just left 3 due to no signal anywhere. avoid.

Errr.... now i don't know more than before.

More questions to you experts:

Why is it important that the card hasn't been used before? One ebaymember sells only used "already activated" sim's but with 10GBP's already loaded, ebay 200775093853, but normal sim, not micro (would prefer a micro for my iPhone)

And how many MB are 10GBPs? Any ideas? 150MB? 250MB?

I realy prefer always vodafone, here in germany and i guess in the uk it will be a good choice.

What do you think about that item on ebay, 170828558266

It's Vodafone, it's microsim, it's 10GBP's credit, how many Megabytes are 10GBP's here? Any Idea?

shipping to germany is also cheap..... any objections on that item?

Man i just wanna stay online for 5 days... shall be good enought that card and i keep it and load it up again everytime i come over to the uk, is that right?

Is that card plug&play? I mean put it into my iphone in dover when i roll down from the ferry and i am straight online???

Haha my current contract is from 1999, i have no idea about simcards, sorry.

From the Vodafone UK site

UK mobile internet usage £1 per 25MB per day (up to a maximum of £5 a day)

On my Iphone on O2 pay as you go, I have to topup £10/month and I get 500Mb of data and 300 txts for the month before it starts to use up the £10 credit

Yeah thx to you all.

In the end now i bought a micro sim from ebay for vodafone uk, prepaid of course, which is brandnew and comes via letter into my mailbox.

I guess when i leave the ferry in dover i will activate it, and on the first petrolstation or @testco or whatever i will buy a voucher and load it up and thats it.

Haha i hope it will all work.

Thx to you anyway.

cheers

Ring up vodafone when you get here, I'm on contract and they offer me an extra 500mb for £5

^^^ same here and i usually get through the extra 500mb once or twice a month

What do you both mean? What does my prepaid with your contracts to do?

cheers

Check the networks coverage first before buying then decide.
