Cell Phone Advice in London
I posted this in Technology as well - hoping to get a reply : )
I absolutely know that there is a posting about this somewhere - I read it the other day and meant to print it out but now I can't find it
There was a great posting about the best way to buy and purchase a phone while in London - how to activate for fairly cheap and then change it when you are leaving.
I have searched and searched - I would really appreciate some help if anyone knows about this.
Thanks so much

The thread is on the FlyerTalk Travel/TravelBuzz! board, with the last entry on 10-07. (I don't know how to relay the URL.)
I started the thread, but the information in response is more useful for a repeat visitor to the UK.
I did a lot of additional digging on the Web and found a company called TravelCell.com, which appears ideal for an occasional visitor like me. Their posted rates are the best, not only for the weekly rental, but also for the per-minute call charges and the delivery/return charges.
The phone, extra battery, and charger arrived early and I will soon be using them in the UK. I'll report back on the service upon my return.
