Well I use Giffgaff in central London with no problems . . . all the best Fabian Tompsett, Wikimania Support Team, Wikimedia UK, Address: 56-64 Leonard St, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4LT Phone:020 7065 0991 Mobile: 07548 103787 On 31 July 2014 16:33, Deryck Chan <deryckchan(a)gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Well, obviously Giffgaff isn't going to be as good as the more expensive carriers, but you really can't beat £12 for unlimited data even if it is occasionally quite slow ;) Joe On 31 July 2014 at 05:50:08 pm, Deryck Chan (deryckchan(a)gmail.com) wrote: I think they were around the South Bank / London Bridge / Chinatown area and had unbearably slow speed.

I purchased that sim because it has unlimited 3G internet for 30days plus 300 min local call and 3000 local sms. But i am not sure if it is available now or not. This is still available. Using it right now :) -- Kartik Mistry Sent via Mobile. _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

In which airport? I'll come via Gatwick. Would be easy to take the SIM there. An other option is to book one online [*] but it is the problem of giving a delivery address.

Also two things to note about giffgaff: - You can't surcharge goodybags on top of each other. (If you use up a goodybag before its expiry date, you aren't allowed to buy another one until the original expiry date. So always buy one that has more allowance than you need, except...) - The £10 goodybag comes with 1GB of mobile data which allows tethering, but the more expensive goodybags with unlimited data disallow tethering altogether (rather than limiting your speed).
