service then you also benefit from being able to carry

Where can I get a SIM card from?
Any high street mobile phone shop will be able to provide
you with a SIM card. Some of the major supermarket
chains also provide mobile phone services and can supply
a SIM card. A useful tip when choosing a SIM card / ser-
vice provider however is to make sure that you have ade-
quate signal coverage at home; this is particularly impor-
tant if you live in a very rural area.
Why doesn’t the mobile phone have a telephone num-
ber?
The telephone number is supplied by the service provider
and will be registered onto the SIM card.
