Setting up your UK SIM before you leave!

So you’ve just made plans to make the journey of a lifetime, to teach & live in the UK.

Naturally, there are probably a few things that now spring to mind to start getting organised.

Visas, flights, bank accounts, accommodation & where to live, your favourite holiday plans, insurances, what sort of work you are looking for, arranging a UK sim card & phone number, amongst many others!

In this short blog. We’ll focus on helping you get your UK-sim card set up.

Ideally, you want a SIM provider that’s easy to set up, even easier to use, doesn’t cost a lot & works not only in the UK, but allows you to travel Europe, without having to buy a new sim card in every country.

We’ve partnered up with Giff Gaff to give you all that (& some more)! Luckily, with Giff Gaff, you can even set up your SIM card before you leave for your journey overseas.

This is really handy if you have some Euro travels pre-planned before you get into the classroom or if you want to land on British soil & have your phone work on arrival. You just need to make sure your mobile phone is unlocked before you fly overseas, & then you can follow all the prompts with Giff Gaff.

Next steps:

Feel free to follow the link below to check out what to do to get started. You can have your Giff Gaff sim card sent to your local address, whether that be in Australia, Canada, New Zealand or many other countries before you fly to the UK.

& see here for the breakdown of the Giff Gaff sim-only-deals available to you:

Simply make sure you top-up your sim card before your trip & you are good to go!

Finally… Once you are travelling across the UK & Europe, having the time of your life, don’t forget to hashtag #goingawaywithanzuk all your photos/reels on Instagram once you touch down in Europe. See here for some details on our travel competition across 2023!!
