Is this prepaid or contract? I'm going to the UK late next week. Last time I was there I had a UK t-mobile sim. The sim was free and I put 10 pounds on it, and then received an extra 10 pounds when the weekend came. I could not make enough calls or use the Internet enough to use up all the credit before I left (about 10 days). The problem is, UK t-mobile won't send sims to the US. I was looking for a way to have my N900 with UK sim before arriving. You can buy international sims in the US, but they are very expensive.

SIM only, PAYG, £15 All in One "All you can eat Data" deal.
It will come pre-loaded with the £15 All in One "All you can Eat" deal. You therefore have Zero Balance of credit left (as it has been used to purchase the All in One Deal). You can use this deal to surf the internet, and call and text internally in the UK.
If you want to call / text the US, Page 19 and 20 of the PDF have information on calling the US for 3 pence per minute(!), as also referred to here: http://www.three.co.uk/Pay_As_You_Go..._calling_rates
and page 22 has price information on texting abroad.
However, page 32 Footnote 8 details that international calls and texts are excluded from your inclusive texts ().
So, if you want to call or text the US, you will have to buy additional credit for the SIM, which can then be spent at the rates detailed above.
(You purchase £15 of credit, get a code for this credit, and go to 'My3' (or whatever it is called) to credit it to your SIM account by using the code. You can then either just leave it there and spend it contacting the US at the rates above, or you can use it to contact the UK at these rates: http://www.three.co.uk/_standalone/P...=1220464365215
or you could use the £15 immediately to buy another "All you can eat" package if you are staying more than 30 days and the initial package runs out.)
I hope that all makes sense?
(I would add that I do not work for or have any affiliation to 3, and I am sure that the other networks also offer PAYG SIM-only packages, but I have been researching 3 recently for the other half's tariff and they have been very happy with it since they have purchase it )
