Can we pick up a pay as you go mobile phone in the Leeds Airport

You also can also use Skype Credit, where for very cheap rates you can make calls to contacts' telephones or to those who don't have a computer/skype.

UK pay as you go phone raters to overseas numbers are quite expensive.

Enjoy your time in UK.

Hello Isabel,

Of Leeds airport I know nothing. You ought to be able to buy a cheap pay-as-you-go mobile from Sainsbury's or any other large supermarket. Mine is a Samsung sold by Sainsbury's.

I bought the cheapest as I rarely if ever make calls. You are dead right about the difficulty in finding a public telephone in the UK.

Hope you enjoy your stay, Alistair.

Public telephones are equally difficult to find in the US. We take our mobiles for granted and go through great withdrawal when we can't use them!

We'll be in the UK for only 2 weeks and can't use our Samsung Galaxy S3 there.

Is there a place in the airport where we can pick up a phone for short term use?

Checked out rental phones as their feeds by the time you're finished with them are astronomical.

Just need something basic for local use over there since I understand public phones aren't always easy to find.
