I have a solution for good Mobile Data (300G) whilst in Spain (then any zone 1 country)

[Carpmart]

Thanks, yes it was your post that made me think it might be close. Appreciate there is also a 400Gb option (I think), but knowing what options you have, if any, might be useful.

There is a 400 gigabytes tariff for c.€60 per month (from memory)….

Did anyone else put one of these SIMs into a TPLink router and it ask for a PIN number? If so, how did you overcome this, please? Camino has said I need to put the SIM into my mobile and change the SIM lock settings, so that it doesn't require a PIN but, without the SIM PIN I can't do anything. Can anyone help, please?

There is a 4 digit PIN number on the back of the blister card that the SIM pops out of…

Yes we use a TP link and just input the pin each time we turn it on.

Thank you SO much! I'll give that a try

On a previous sim, yoigo, we had to put the sim in a phone & remove the pin lock first. When the new card from camino was activated yesterday it still wouldn't work & I couldn't get in my TPlink , due to no internet, to access the pin info so had to put card in my phone & remove the pin. Then back in TP it worked straight off . 'Support ' also came back to me stating that had to be done as well. Ithought I'd be able to do it in the router but couldn't ?

I don’t know to be honest. The pin was easy to memorise (even for me which is unusual ) so I have just kept it on there.

So, I've now removed the need for a PIN (thank you Carpmart ) and it's in my TPLink and working fine Camino had said that I would need to configure the internet access protocol (APN) (which I don't understand at all ) but I'm wondering if I still need to do that, since it's working well already. I've emailed her about this and am waiting for a reply. She's being incredibly helpful

APN = Access Point Name, see the link for an explanation.

What Is an APN? | IoT Glossary

APN stands for Access Point Name. It’s a gateway between a cellular network and the Internet.

Oh my goodness! Thank you for helping me to understand but, for my non-techy brain, reading it was as difficult as trying to plait soup!! Honestly, I tried

As a follow on from my post above, Camino has now confirmed that I don't need to change anything with the APN as it's up and running perfectly. Another very satisfied customer. Massive thanks again to Carpmart

Carpmart I recieved my sim today worked as soon as I inserted into my iPad just had to deactivate sim pin to use in my router. Camino is an absolute darling she sent me some simple instructions for a brain dead old man which I managed very easily also told her that you had influenced my purchase and I am a member of MHF
Thanks again for posting

Absolutely delighted you’re all set up…

I am all set up to go. The service from Camino has been second to none.

 

[Stoosal]

Got my sim eventually, the day before we left for France so big sigh of relief.

Now few days into France.

Installed Norton VPN into Firestick and now watching iplayer etc with no probs. Signal so far has been great. Not dropped out anywhere.

Good service from Camino and sim deal is just what we wanted.

Thanks for posting! It seems a universal thumbs up for Tiekom and Camino, which is great to hear!

Just remember that a VPN increases usage by up to 15% & iptv eats it at 5Gb /hour.

Thanks for that….., wasn’t aware. I’ll monitor and see what it’s using!

Great, so the VPN does fool BBC and other UK TV providers.
I've ordered a sim from Camino ready for use after 2nd May when Sky start charging £2 per active online sim per day in the EU. This will go into the mifi which can take up to 10 devices.

Just used iplayer for two and a half hours and it used 9GB so roughly 3.6GB an hour! Bit more than I expected but it is still a good solution for us. As long as we are sensible with how much we watch etc it should be absolutely fine.

Alter the settings on your firestick. Go to settings, display and audio,display, video resolution and select 720p .
Next open iPlayer go to settings, settings and help, video quality and select standard definition.
This should half the amount of data you use.

Me being a Technophobe may question 300 gb, and have ask an expert! But alas they are on my ignore list! Happy days

We use a Roku Express. Do you know if the settings can be altered on this at all, please? Thank you

Hi guys got my sim this morning, how do I activate it.

You need to contact Camino for her to activate the SIM card as they are sent out deactivated.

Can't help with the Roku, you will need to consult madam Google. But settings on iPlayer can be altered on any device.

Yes it’s all done very easy. Thanks

 

[dpsuk999]

I agree I got my SIM card the other day sent to me in the UK and once Camino had activated it, all was working perfect

So you are in the UK and using UK networks at a 3rd of the UK price, (100GB) £20 average). Sounds too good to be true really, hope it doesn’t go tits up.
