Hi Alan.

Generally, operators don't send SIM cards abroad, not in Belgium, nor in the UK. Only Mobile Vikings have promised to do so, when you give them a foreign address. You can check, if they live up to their promise.

Alternatively, you can take a look on the secondary market. On the French or Dutch Ebay (ebay.fr or ebay.nl) or on ebay.co.uk with a worldwide search, you can find SIM cards of Proximus, Mobistar, Red Bull and others to be sent abroad. The dealer will charge for shipping additionally.

As Belgian SIM cards don't need to be registered, they work from the start. So you will receive text messages when roaming in the UK (for free).
