Buying Pay-as-You-Go SIM card on petrol stations in the UK?

I'll be visiting the UK in march, is it possible to buy Pay-As-You-Go Nano SIM-cards on petrol stations?

The roaming cost for data is still just ridiculous, I've seen Three has a pay-as-you-go nano sim card for sale at Ebay but can these be bought at petrol stations in the UK too? Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic -14

they can, be cautious with 3 though as signal sometimes sketchy and data slow

orange, vodafone, o2 leaders - not in that order

some providers maybe able to post to your hotel, bed and breakfast so its there (cheaper) ready for your arrival) 2010 RRS HSE 3.0 tdv6 2010MY

Thansk!

Do "all" petrol station sell these or do I need to look for some specific stations? Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic -14

If not go to a shop called Argos, I've bought them for work there before.

Is it just primarily for data? Giffgaff SIM with £12 "bundle" will give you unlimited data for one month - uses O2 network. Also gives you 250 minutes of U.K. Calls & unlimited texts.

Get one delivered to your address here; took me 5 minutes to activate one for my daughter's iPhone 5c this Saturday.

I'd send you one direct, but I used my last one at the weekend.

Im sure if you say where your coming in we can look where you could get one from and their opening times.

You never know someone maybe able to get a free one!

Oh and another thing - sometimes the ebay ones pre-loaded can be cheaper...I looked at a 3 one with 3 months of data cheaper than an o2 with 1 month. Mike

Thank you for all the help and offers, I got hold of some prepaid data cards from a friend just came home visiting the UK!

It will be interesting to see how it will work on Isle of Skye, but having said that... It can be nice having a few days off the grid Smile Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic -14
