Good evening ladies and gents.

Basically my partner is going abroad soon to Ibiza and im looking at getting a good sim card so that if worst case scenario she loses her phone, she will have a back up. I already have a dual sim phone but there are that many sim cards its making my head spin. it will only be for emergency use.

Any help appreciated.

    I don't understand your plan...
    If both sims are in the dual sim phone and she loses it, how can the second sim help?

    Why?
    AFAIK Spain isn't one of Three's "Feel At Home destinations"

    sorry i forgot to put in the fact that she has brought herself an independent pay as you go sim with £10 on it, but it charges ridiculous amount for abroad usage so the idea is to do as topic stated. Hope that makes sense now...

    The dual-sim phone still doesn't make much sense.
    Also, in the worst case scenario can't she just buy a local sim?


    For calls and texts only check www.togglemobile.co.uk/tariffs/en
    You have to buy £20 topup, but you can use it later in many other countries.

    +1 for Togglemobile. Used mine in Spain this year to call the UK at 3p per minute.

    Got my Sim from e-Bay with a £10 top-up.
