Cellular Provider
It is recommended that you get a UK phone number, as using roaming services will cost you more than using local cellular services. There are lots of sim card options to choose from, and lots of data plans with varying in benefits & services.
Average prices for a sufficient data plan ranging from 10-30 gb will usually cost around £10-£20.

Choosing providers
When choosing a SIM card provider, please consider your needs & budget. Ask yourselves these questions, as they would greatly help in deciding what is best for you.
How much data do you think you’ll need?
How much are you willing to pay?
Do you need 5G?
Do your research on the different data plans offered from different companies then compare. You may use websites such as Best SIM only deals: Our pick of the best big-data offers in the UK to start with, and use Mobile Phone Networks - Uswitch.com to compare SIM card providers against each other.
