    Try Here https://localbitcoins.com/ for bank transfers and other methods of payment, can be a pain to do all the verification's and proof of identity that some ask for.

    or here https://bittylicious.com/ limited amounts of BTC to start with and still some verification needed but much easier than the option above.....

    Not used either for over a year but they were the easiest at the time for me.

    If your still stuck or don't want to use them let me know how much you need. I have some in a wallet so may be able to help you out at current market prices...

    OMG has been taken over and had a spruce up according to their mailshot. The new owners are promising better experience. 10$ for a year (13 months) at the mo but only via BTC.

    TBH, I can't remember how I originally got mine.

    https://bitbargain.co.uk has various options.

    blockchain.info can be used to create a wallet / BTC address so that you can load up.

    most online wallets require you to upload passport photos and utility bills and give them all your info, didn't find a wallet that would let you be anonymous, hence why I went local wallet
