I'm not sure why she'd lose it in England and not in the US... No real need to get a local sim/phone if her plan is not to need the phone anyway. Just take the phone and leave it on airplane mode...

What smartphone/network does she have now? If you're on ATT/TMo then for 10 days it might not even be worth it to get something locally, just pay the roaming rates at $1.50/min

Just buy any cheap unlocked GSM flip phone...I think O2 and Vodafone are the major carriers in the UK.
