Travel Bleg — Phones in London

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.


Quick travel bleg: what’s the best option for a short-term mobile phone in England? Rental? Cheap prepaid phone? Something else? And what’s the best place to get one? At Heathrow while you’re waiting for your bags? In town? This would mostly be for actual phone calls. Data/email is secondary.

No guesses, please, if you don’t actually have any personal experience here. But if you’ve done this recently, any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
