I usually use wi-fi when I go home but now we don't have wi-fi (longer story) and no home phone. Just mobile. International rates are extortionate so I don't turn my phone on - airplane mode + wifi.

How can I provide a number for them to call should they need to check on me? Do I have to purchase a UK mobile or - should I even add that whole explanation on the travel form?

Thanks
How extortionate is extortionate? I’ve just checked my tariff, and for me, if I was to travel from Scotland to the USA, the cost of receiving a call would be £0.89/minute. For the sake of a quick call I could live with that!

It’s normally data which is the expensive bit, but you can presumably just turn data roaming off.
