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.

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone
