List of calling cards of British mobile phone communication company

The most famous mobile phone operators in Britain are O2, Vodafone, EE, 3(Three), Giffgaff, Lebara and so on. And there are card shops at airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick. In addition to counters, some airports also have automatic card vending machines. The advantage of buying a card at the airport is that if there is no signal or there is a problem in use, you can directly find the staff to use it in time, but the disadvantage is that the price is slightly expensive. If you are not in a hurry, you can also buy calling cards in major supermarkets, convenience stores and newsstands in the UK. In addition, Giffgaff's calling card can be bought in China and recharged directly, which saves the trouble of buying another calling card in the UK. When you buy a calling card, you have to pay.

If you recharge in the UK, there are two ways: bank cards and vouchers. When you travel to Britain, I suggest you buy vouchers. Many supermarkets (buy vouchers), gas stations and newsstands can be recharged (top

Up/Refill), when you buy it, you can ask: 10 doyouhavegefaffvoucher.
