Do prepaid SIM cards still exist in London and which Telco is best to purchase from?
I'm from out of town and going to London for a couple of days before moving on to the rest of Europe. Staying in the Kensington area. I use an iPhone but I was thinking of using an old Nokia and purchasing a prepaid SIM card while there. If that's possible. Do they have those over there? Just for temporary usage? Also which telco would be the best to purchase that from and whereabouts?
Prepaid phones are very common. Go to a phone shop and they will give you a good deal.
It might even be cheaper to buy the whole phone than using your old one with a SIM card. You can pick up a pay as you go phone up for around £10.
My local Tesco supermarket sells Pay As You Go (PAYG) SIM cards from all major mobile companies for £0.99, and you can charge the SIM at the sales desk from as little as £5. Ask the sales assistant for the best current deal as they frequently change. All independent phone shops will offer a similar service (Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U, etc).
It would help if you had some idea of how many texts and calls you're likely to make, both national and international, and if you require data services.
- Why does paper still exist? Why do we still use paper? That's so weird because we have all this technology now. Shouldn't everything be done on our iPhones or iPads since its 2018? Paper is very outdated.

- Which camera should I bring? Studying abroad in London/Travelling Europe? I have these options: a DSLR Nikon camera, a Sony videocamera (small), or should I buy a digital camera? In addition, i'm bringing my iPhone 5s, which has pretty good quality as well. I'm just afraid I'll lose my DSLR, should I buy a digital camera or take the small videocamera? Suggestions? I will be studying for a semester in London and traveling to a few countries in Europe as well.
- Rolling shutter sensors, why do they still exist? From iphones to dslrs, they all use cmos sensors that use rolling shutters to capture images, are there any dslrs that use digital global shutters, it seems to me that the firms which addopted cmos have taken a step beckwards from the days of CCD sensors. Its been years now since cmos was introduced and it still hasn't evolved a global shutter why? Rolling shuter artifacts can be a real headache and spoil images/videos.
