Scotland runs on Saily’s UK plans, from $4.49 for 1 GB. For a few days in the city, 3 GB ($8.99) covers maps, transit and messaging.
The catch: plans are data only, so you get no local phone number for calls or texts.
Scotland trips mix Edinburgh and Glasgow with drives through the Highlands, Skye and the North Coast 500. Cities have strong coverage, but the glens don’t, so plan ahead. Scotland uses Saily’s UK plans.
