Once you’ve got a SIM card that works with your smartphone, ask the store personnel to install it and do a test call. Turn your mobile on, enter the PIN and if necessary switch the language to English. Don’t forget to record the PIN number and ask how to check the credit balance. In some European countries your SIM card may have to be registered along with your passport for security reasons. Follow the instructions and after an hour or two you’ll be able to use it. If you run out of SIM, you can get one in any mobile phone store and tell the salesperson how much credit you want. The clerk is either going to give you the credit over the phone or you will be given a voucher with instructions.
