Note: do not use voice minutes, they're stupid expensive; call using whatsapp or facetime/data.  I'm pretty sure you can get it, put it in the phone, and test it out.\r\n\r\nWhen I signed in and it asked for a physical address I think I used one of the bars near where I was going to be staying in Edinburgh.\r\n\r\nI'm on T-mobile now, so int'l texts are free, calls are 25c/min, and data is slow (like dial-up slow - 128kbps) but unlimited. Voice is 25c/min, but if I'm calling via old-school voice it's because I'm probably about to die.","subreddit_name":"Shoestring","author":"overzeetop"},{"body":"Get this. \r\n\r\nPrePaid Europe (UK THREE) sim card 12GB data+3000 minutes+3000 texts for 30 days with FREE ROAMING / USE in 71 destinations including all European countries https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01FI1JW72/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_PK8HHMEP6MFCDST9R3AR \r\n\r\nTmobile will also give you a temp unlock if you need it.

If you have been a customer for a several years, they may unlock your phone as a courtesy if you explain you're going to be using it overseas. Mainline carriers (Verizon, AT\u0026amp;T) are more generous than discount providers who resell mainline service.\r\n\r\nOf note, many prepaid SIMs don't allow for tethering. For example, [the SIM](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FI1JW72/) I used when I spent three weeks in Europe a couple years ago worked like an absolute champ in my iPhone but explicitly disallows tethering.\r\n\r\nIf your carrier won't unlock, you may be better off buying/borrowing a phone and buying a prepaid SIM than rolling the dice on a tethered mobile hotspot and prepaid SIM.
