hi experts,
I am studying abroad and I am coming back to the UK for a few weeks.

I have cancelled my mobile contract before leaving... and I wanted to have data on my phone for the 2,3 weeks that I am going to be there...

My question is, I only have a o2 sim here(I think I bought it 2 years ago), shall I go to their website and add money to that SIM, or is better to buy a new SIM in Stansted?

Thanks!!

    If you've not used the O2 sim in the 2 years then the odds are high that it's been cancelled so buy another PAYG.

    If the SIM costs more than £1 at the airport wait until you get to a town to buy one. Airport stores frequently charge rip-off prices.
