You can survive without a cell phone, even in London.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK we call cell phones 'mobile phones'
You can buy Pay as you Go phones from shops such as Tesco, Woolworth, the Link, or mobile phone shops.
These come with a small amount of credit, which you can top up, either using your credit card over the phone, or at petrol stations, supermarkets etc.
Beware that calling charges to other mobiles (cell phones) and calls to overseas can be expensive (35p or more per minute). Some PAYG tarrifs have options for cheaper calls to the US.
If you are only in London for 2 months, Pay as you Go is the best option, as most 'plans' are for a min of 12 months.
There are also places where you can rent a cell phone.
