As a senior pay-as-you-go mobile phone user (Tesco), I seek some simple advice.
Planning a short holiday in the US and wish to use my U.K. phone for local / emergency calls only - i.e. access required to a US provider; calls + txt, but no data requirement. Long distance / overseas call calls if required will use a locally acquired US prepaid card, but still requires a local call to access a US provider as above.
Seen many on-line advertising offers, but somewhat confused due to the vast range of technicalities and marketing hype.
Phone type: Doro 6520, is this compatible with the US phone system?
Can I obtain a replacement / second SIM card or overseas roaming option for my phone? If so, from whom, where, and how obtained. U.K. or US purchase?
min cost ~ £20.
