Cellular Abroad Rental Service for UK

Embark on a trip to the UK with a Cellular Abroad rental phone and enjoy the security and convenience of a cell phone without the added expense of international roaming fees! Cellular Abroad offers cellular phone rentals for United Kingdom and over 120 other countries. We equip all UK travelers with a local UK service provider, giving everyone the chance to enjoy the same guaranteed service and inexpensive rates enjoyed by millions of British customers every day. Because the service is prepaid, there are no contracts to sign, no bills to pay, and best of all, incoming calls are always free to receive, even if you have no credit.

You phone and SIM card are linked to a prepaid account so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. The prepaid SIM card comes with over 100 minutes worth of initial calls back to the US as well as unlimited free incoming calls from anywhere. This SIM offers an incredible low rate to the US of only about $0.08 a minute to the US! This rate is good to any number in the United States 24 hours a day with no peak or off peak limitations and no special dialing requirements.

If needed, you can simply add more talk time to your account by purchasing a scratch-off recharge card and entering the unique code off the card into the handset. Since incoming calls are always free, even if you have depleted your credit you can still receive incoming calls from anywhere in the world.

Here are a few major cities that our service covers: Cambridge, Bath, Canterbury, London, Cardiff, Newport, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, and Londonderry. If you have questions regarding a specific location, please contact us.

"Ahhhh.... lots of stories...lost luggage...late planes....wrong turns....damaged Mastercard....but a wonderfully clear, incredibly convenient, affordable, cellular connection to the states. That, thanks to you! What a smart move on my part." C.B.

Important FAQs for Rentals

• When do I order?
  You can order as far in advance as you like - even months prior to your departure. We will not ship your rental until the appropriate date in order for you to receive it in time for your departure. Rentals are typically shipped FedEx 2-Day service, unless faster service is required.
• What is the latest I can order a rental phone?
  Although it's not recommended to place your order at the last minute, you can order up to one business day prior to your departure as long as you call in prior to 4pm Pacific Time. Even if you are leaving early in the morning, we can usually get your phone to you. Please call our 800 number (rather than order via the web) in order to confirm that we can get you your cell phone rental on time. Please take into account that bad weather can sometimes delay FedEx shipments. Cellular Abroad cannot refund the price of priority shipping for orders placed the day before departure if the package arrives late due to the weather.
• When do I get the phone?
  You will receive your cell phone rental a day or two prior to your departure.
• Does the cell phone come charged?
  Yes it does. You need only insert the SIM chip into the rental phone's SIM card slot, which is easily done. (Please let us know if you would like for us to do this for you.)
• What happens if I cancel?
  As long as your cell phone rental has not been shipped, you will only be charged the reserve fee ($25 per phone). In the case that your rental has been sent out, you are only responsible for a one week rental plus the shipping.
• When do I get charged for my cell phone rental?
  You will be charged upon checkout for the full security deposit. Please see our Rental Agreement
• What will the rates be for people calling me from the US?
  That depends on the international long distance rates charged by their long distance company.  We recommend a company called Gorilla Mobile for those calls because they have low rates internationally and their service can even be used from a US cell phone.  Tell Gorilla Mobile you were referred by Cellular Abroad or enter our promo code CELLAB1 at www.gorillamobile.com and they will give you $5 in free call credit to start plus they'll waive your startup fee!  Gorilla Mobile’s phone number is 1-800-881-3004.
• Does Cellular Abroad offer insurance against loss or damage?
  No, we do not, and this is why. Technically, you are purchasing the phone from Cellular Abroad and then we are buying it back from you. The vast majority of credit card companies offer their own insurance against loss or damage for purchases, but usually not for rentals. Therefore, and given this premise, you are already covered for accidental loss or damage...at no extra charge!

You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.)

(This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
