for prepaid phones from almost all European countries..................
I dont know what in UK, but used German Prepaids a while..............
You can buy German prepaid voucher for reload abroad ( they are valid for

You can also reload with cards bought in another country, however

There are also reload possibilities by wiring money to a Account in

departure...)
