13:05.14cityLightsHi , I am traveling to london for 4 days , I seek a cellular data with prepaid which allows voip
13:05.18cityLightsand advice?
13:07.23skinjobthe cheapest way might be to get a pay as you go sim on a UK network
13:09.53skinjobor if i'm working in london i go and sit in the grafton at the top of tot court road and use the free wifi :) (coffees are a bit upmarketly priced tho, i think its a fair trade off to avoid the general central london rif raf)
13:11.54cityLightsthanks
13:12.18cityLightsyet I seek a name I can go to at the air port and buy the card
13:12.35cityLightsdoes voda phone allow voip?
13:12.37skinjobi'd go for vodafone or O2 in the uk
13:12.54skinjobactually not sure aboit voip on that one
13:13.16cityLightscan I use a O2 german sim in the uk and charge it locally?
13:13.35skinjobroaming costs tend to be really expensive
13:13.59skinjobi used my uk one in germany and france and it just eats your credit very quickly
13:13.59boudiccascityLights; doubtful
13:14.30cityLightsin germany I had to buy the sim at 15 euro and charge it at 15 euro for 1g traffic
13:14.52cityLightsthen I found-out that I could have bought the card at an outlet at 1euro
13:15.06cityLightsso I go online to ask the locals - what to do
13:15.32skinjobi seem to remember my vodafone dongle being something like 25 quid with a free couple o gigs on it
13:16.35skinjobbut that was for a dongle with a sim in it
13:16.50skinjobtheres sim only stuff on the O2 website
13:16.58skinjobmight tell you there aboit VOIP also
13:17.25cityLightso2 is cool with voip in bermany
13:17.35cityLightss/bermany/germany/
13:19.50skinjobif you re going to buy one I would find a local retailer and see if they have a pay as you go O2 dongle... irritatingly they will probably try and sell you a contract that you dont need that you need to call india or vietnam or something to activate
13:19.53skinjobyou dont want that
13:20.20skinjobfind a PC world near to where you will be staying
13:21.01skinjobi dont normally recommend pc world, or physical retailers, but if you really have to get soemthing quickly and dont have a postal address i guess thats the way
13:22.35skinjobi think the whole roaming data cost thing is a scam to be honest
13:35.51cityLightsi agree, this is way I choose 3g+voip
