Cell phone in London? Traveling from Canada? What did you do?


Hey guys, sorry if this might not be relevant in any way.. Not really sure where to ask this question.


I'm traveling to the UK for 3 weeks from Canada. I'm leaving at the end of this month, so naturally I am trying to figure out how to get a phone there...


I have an iPhone, but I'm locked under a contract for another year. I'm not sure if getting it unlocked is even legal if I'm still under a contract? Also, the WiFi on my iPhone does not work at all. So apps are pretty much out of the question.


My other option is to buy a cheap GSM phone and a GSM SIM card, but do I buy those here or when I arrive in London?


I've never been there before and the last thing I want is to be stuck without a phone, as I'm staying with family and will need to be able to contact them/people I meet there, so if you guys have any input on what I should do or what you did on your travels - that would be amazing! :)
