It looks like 3 offers a £15 PAYG plan that gives 3K texts, 300 minutes, and unlimited data. That seems like a pretty solid option to me, as I foresee data being the primary use needed. With iMessage, we don't even really need the texts, but they don't seem to have customizable plan setups for PAYG. When I lived there in 2010, I just walked into a Tmobile store on Oxford street and got my SIM that way. Does it make sense to pre order the SIM so we're good to go when we land?
