Hey Guys -

I know the process to get my iPhone 4S unlocked and will be doing that today - my question relates to the actual process of using a Micro SIM in the UK.

I'm going for 10 days and want to be able to call home and access maps and data etc. while in the UK. So, preferably, I'd like to go into Vodafone, O2, or Orange and get a Micro SIM Pay As You Go.

My question is - how does this work? Can I order a Micro SIM to be sent here to the States so I can get it all set up and ready to use before flying over? And what plan do I get? I saw 02 has unlimited 02 to 02 plans for 15 pounds/month but what about international calls? I just want my fiancee and me to be able to call home every few days and have access to the phone for meeting friends in London, getting around etc.

Does anyone know the best way of getting a Micro SIM, what plan to use, and whether it's possible to get it sent to the U.S. so I have it all set up for as soon as I land in London?

Thanks all!
