Information and Talk Rates Chart

Why buy a SIM and Phone package for the United Kingdom?

Our cell phone package for the UK boasts per minute rates back to the US less than what most calling cards cost. In fact at 4 pence per minute (about $0.06), most people can literally speak on the phone for hours a day without feeling the pinch! Incoming calls are always free and calls within the UK are 10 pence per minute. As this is a pay as you go service, which is what most locals use, there are no contracts, no minimums and no bills to pay. This is the ideal solution for students studying in the UK, business travelers as well as tourists. All of our GSM phones are unlocked and therefore, will work in 200 other countries – including the US and Canada- with the appropriate SIM card.

The service, called “Lebara”, works on the Vodafone network – the number one cellular provider in the UK and the second largest in the world. Coverage and clarity are exceptional. Click for a coverage map. The initial package has 100 minutes of talk time back to the US. If you need additional talk time, you can purchase a recharge voucher locally at face value or, for a small surcharge, from our 7 days/week , toll free, US based top up service. While there is a small surcharge, it is good to know that you have this convenient option.

Service Life
Lebara automatically deactivates SIM cards if you do not use them to make a call or send a text for more than 80 days. Unfortunately these SIM cards cannot be reconnected and the mobile number also stops being available for you to use after this time.

To inquire about the possibility of extending your SIM card’s service life while outside the SIM card’s country of origin, contact the telecom provider's customer service, Cellular Abroad does not provide support for this feature.

Internet Service

New for 2010 - Lebara UK now offers data services for just 50p per day, up to 10MB (then 15p per MB thereafter) on cell phones that support data. You can check your emails, browse the internet and send and receive pictures while traveling in the United Kingdom for a very affordable rate. This is the perfect for those who want to have access to the internet and emails without the inconvenience of having to bring a lap top or seek out an internet point. The settings can be sent straight to your handset by following our instructions
