UK visitor seeks SIM

I'll be in the UK for a visit and want to have immediate cellphone coverage. How can I get a SIM card before arriving in Dublin?

Thanks

Hi @kandimeg

Other than buying a SIM from eBay/Amazon, then you will need to wait and pick one up from the airport.

Thanks

Wherever you buy it from you will not be able to use an EE PAYG until you arrive in the UK. EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network. So you won't be able to use it in Dublin.
