Our daughter will be studying in England this school year. Does anyone know what our options are for her phone service? Should we just get her a sim card over there?
Our daughter is doing the same
If it’s for a year I would get a local one since the Tmobile plans aren’t designed for long term international roaming.
Their prepaid over there, especially from Vodafone, has some exceptional rates, even when calling to North America. If she is going to use WiFi Calling almost 100% of the time though, then she might be okay with extended roaming.
Unless her phone is on some exceptional plan (e.g. free line) I’d suggest porting her number to Google Voice and getting a local SIM in UK. Of course, her phone has to be unlocked for this to work. She can install the Google Voice App on her phone and continue to make and receive calls from the US number.
If she needs to keep that line active on T-Mobile
