Hi , I'm heading off to Australia for 4 weeks and was thinking of getting a PAYG sim deal from 'Three' giving me 6 GB of data and unlimited texts and phone calls to UK numbers. I can use whatsapp in Australia to contact my friends and family there. The 'Three' sim will obviously give me a new number , how will this affect…

I have tje Lloyds, Nationwide, HSBC and Santander Banking apps on my smartphone and can confirm they keep working no matter what SIM card is in it. Any spending verification is done via the app not text.

Thank you for this info
