I went to visit London about six month ago. On that time i purchased a "Three" sim card from the airport. It was a micro sim and had nano and standard adapter. the price was about £15. I purchased that sim because it has unlimited 3G internet for 30days plus 300 min local call and 3000 local sms. But i am not sure if it is available now or not.
There was a vending machine just beside the first exit gate of terminal 4. I think from there you can choose the sim card by yourself. -- *Nasir Khan Saikat* www.nasirkhn.com On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 11:08 PM, Joseph Fox <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, obviously Giffgaff isn't going to be as good as the more expensive > carriers, but you really can't beat £12 for unlimited data even if it is > occasionally quite slow ;) > > Joe > > On 31 July 2014 at 05:50:08 pm, Deryck Chan ([email protected]) wrote: > > I think they were around the South Bank / London Bridge / Chinatown area > and had unbearably slow speed.
