Buying a Pay As You Go phones in UK

talkingclock · 2007-05-16 17:41:41

Just a short question: Can I buy a PAYG phone in the UK the same way as I do in Ireland? Just asking because in Germany you'll get i compulsory registered with your passport/National ID card details during the purchase. So do I need to have an UK-based address?
