High Volume Data Sim for Remote Working from Spain and Portugal - Tiekom

[jopparocks]

Having been through a lot of threads researching buying a data sim when I go to Spain in January for two months when I will be working as well as holidaying and so need a lot of data I am coming to the conclusion that the Tiekom sim is the way to go. (I looked at Connectpls but there's something about their website which looks like it was knocked up in a morning by the owners pal so not too keen on them).
So for Tiekom using the sim as a hotspot and being Spanish does anyone know if I will be able to log into my UK company's intranet?
I can't make a mistake on this as will be in serious trouble if I can't get onto my company intranet.

Why not use Tesco or id mobile, both currently have no roaming limits and as UK Sims are more likely to be able to access UK company intranet if they have security in place, also as you will be roaming on a UK SIM it will access multiple networks as required.

Tesco want you to take on a 24 month contract which I don't want to do and looking at latest posts on this topic is it not the case that ID (and other providers who until very recently offered unlimited roaming) have severely limited roaming gb's.

Id currently have a promotion waiving their fair use policy, only restriction is 63 days, you can take 30 day contracts and I think e Sims .

Tiekom is indeed the correct answer.

I would ask your firms IT person about it. Some companies ban non UK IP addresses. I know I wasn't able to log in from a foreign IP address. It will depend on the Company and their IT security.

Indeed, but some do it based on gps location and (system) location data, which your laptop can pick up from neighbouring (ie campsite) wifi sometimes.

So even a UK IP address via a UK sim won't save you from (some) work location detection software.

ie, working for a government entity or financial institution from abroad on a work laptop on a UK sim when against your work policy may get you fired. Safer to tell them and get it agreed in general (and therefore allowing a Spanish IP address).
