UK phones and SIM cards
To use a UK SIM card on your phone, it’s important to check if you have a locked or unlocked phone first.
If your phone is unlocked, you can use a UK SIM card on your phone straight away.
If you’re using the airport pick-up service, a UK SIM card is required to receive updates about your pick-up.
Where to get a UK SIM card
You can order a free SIM card to be delivered to your UK address from any major UK mobile phone network or collect one from the Welcome Hub in the Parkinson Building or at any other Student Information Service information points on campus.
If you’ve travelled to Leeds using our airport pick-up, you will be given a SIM card as part of the service.
