Travel Bleg — Phones in London

Monika Bauerlein,
CEO

Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

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.
