Economical SIM card for European travel
This made our trip to Europe so much easier. It was a life saver in multiple situations. We were in five different countries and it worked great in each country. I just popped it into my iPhone 6 before landing and upon arriving in the UK, turned on my phone and it worked great. The only minor hiccup we had was when we went to Spain it didn't seem to want to work. Once I got to my hotel with wi-fi I chatted with 3 tech support on their website and they had me change the setting to turn on roaming and set Carrier from Automatic to manual and then they told me which carrier to select for Spain. It worked great in France, Italy and Switzerland as well. One thing to know is that if you are texting or calling a European number, you need to dial a + (on iPhone press and hold on the 0 to get a + sign) and then the country code and then the number. As for your phone number, it leads with a 0 for some reason, you need to omit that 0, so your number when you have the SIM will be +44 then the number on the back without the leading 0. It took us a bit to figure that out, but once we did everything was seamless. Make sure you buy enough minutes/data because you can't top off without a UK credit card. We had plenty of data for our 2 week trip.

com" I was travelling to Spain and other europe countries and I could not use he card for making phone calls to USA and even in europe it was not easy to activate the card
Not a card to buy as it does not work as described on the web site "Amazon.com"I was travelling to Spain and other europe countries and I could not use he card for making phone calls to USA and even in europe it was not easy to activate the card. I had to call UK customer service for any custoemr issues. Very poor activations instructions.Do not buy the online card, it is better to buy local country sim card just for peace of mind.

Perfect for an old couple traveling to Ireland from the US for a week
My wife and I are not tech-savvy at all. We ordered this card for our trip to Ireland for a week. I was skeptical, but thought I could buy another SIM locally if need be.Our experience:a. Able to activate in the U.S. in about 2 minutes. You get the phone number assigned right away, so could provide to our tour contacts.b. Put in SIM on arrival to Ireland. Worked immediately. Was able to use for calls in multiple locations with good coverage. I'll note that due to our inexperience we had trouble texting initially as we did not know the format/protocol for European numbers. If you are geezers like us, you might want to do some quick research before using.c. We really didn't need much data as WIFI is so prevalent now and our tour guide had GPS. So we didn't have a need to top at all. I know we would have needed a UK credit card, but wasn't an issue as a result.d. The $15 insurance of having a temporary working phone paid off in multiple instances for us.e. I would have liked to use again for later trips, but will end up just tossing and buying another later on.

Total bait and switch
I ordered this sim card for a week in London, specifically so I wouldn't have to waste limited time with activations and top-ups when I was there. When I installed the sim, it was not immediately up and running as advertised. When I reached customer service in the UK, I was told that activation would take 2 hours, but up to 24 hours "if they were busy." 24 hours later, I called again, only to be told that sims bought on Amazon or ebay might take up to 48 hours to activate. Given I was in London for a week, this seemed to defeat the purpose; I found another provider.

Does not work in the UK! Huh?????
I just came back from a Belfast and Dublin vacation. On recommendation on a travel site, I decided to try getting a sim card before I travel. Usually I get a sim card when I arrive at my destination. Got this card. Pop it into an unlocked phone while here in the US. No problem setting up the phone. Got a +44 tel. number which is a UK number. Connected to T mobile here in the US. Got a welcome text stating that US is part of the Go Roam countries. Access the internet (looking up yahoo.com) and again it worked. Did not try to call someone though as US phone numbers incur a surcharge or top off but I was able to call the number for 3UK On arrival at Dublin Airport, got a welcome text again and the phone connected to 3 IRL. Went straight to Belfast which is in the UK. Did not work there.NO text, data or phone service. Chat was about as useful as a slingshot in stopping a charging rhino. Managed to go to a 3 store at Victoria Square and explained what I had already done (am a techie of sorts). He said that be believed this is a 3 Ireland sim card which definitely will not work in the UK. 3 UK and 3 Ireland are two separate entities! He tried one fix although he did not have hope for it. What he cannot explain is why I have a +44 tel. number. I asked him if he can sell me a sim that will work in Dublin and he said yes but he won't because he has very strong feelings that as soon as I get back to Dublin, the sim will work again. Besides, he said it is better to get a local sim since I would be in Dublin for a number of days. Guess What? When I got back to Dublin, I got that welcome text again telling me that Ireland is part of the Go Roam countries. Strange that the sim would not work in the Belfast which is in the UK. A UK sim not working in the UK. Re. the function of the card in Dublin. I would say just passable. Right in the city I had times of no data. Thank God there was a lot of free wifi. I would say, not recommended.

Pricey but trustworthy
I was hesitant at first with ordering this prepaid SIM card, as I had read multiple accounts of having trouble with this company. Thus, I ordered a 1GB to try out, and bought my own SIM card when I arrived in Europe just in case this card did not work. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the Three card worked flawlessly throughout the UK and all of Europe, and had pretty high-speed data for the whole time I used this SIM card.I definitely recommend getting the larger data SIM cards if you use more data. The downside of this smaller data card is that it is slightly pricey and that you cannot make calls to numbers outside of the UK. However, if you just facetime or use whatsapp, this call problem isn't that big of an issue,

Do not buy!
Item didn’t arrive as advertised, we received a 0.01p top up sim instead. Tried to say it was the same thing! Took three weeks and Amazon’s intervention to get a refund. Do not buy, Three no longer sell this deal.

No Texts or Free Minutes
The card was bought for a Birthday present and came with no credit, should have had 3000 minutes and 3000 texts plus 1G of data. As it was for a phone that was also a present for the same person I had to top it up so could not send back.

Great for use on holiday
Bought for use on holiday in the USA as it wasn't included in my current mobile providers package. Worked with no problems at all in the USA, and a fraction of the price of using my current mobile provider. Bought another one for my wifes phone, again no problems
