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

I’m not an expert hence the question. I thought things like iplayer etc, picked up the fact that it was a ‘uk’ sim and thus blocked access to its broadcasts when signing in from abroad or is it because it also picks up a uk email address from the account. My original plan probably remains......register the new sim in uk and when abroad, if there is any issue with iplayer etc, then use a vpn and see how it goes!

Still waiting on new sims and hope to get them in next few days

If it does have a Spanish ip ( which it probably does) iPlayer will also be blocked in the UK.

If you have a UK sim you should be able to get the iplayer and other UK based streaming services without using a vpn, i certainly can in France, if you are using a local sim card or local WiFi you will need a vpn.

 

[Realist]

Try Psiphon app it’s a VPN that works with quite a few programs outside of the uk.

So, on the form, where it says "Bank account", di you just put "Revolut Visa" or did you put your card details, please?

Camino told me that if I want to pay by Credit Card, to leave the the bank account on the form empty.
Excellent Customer Service, posted for me SIM cards to UK and Greece.

Thanks Carpmart for informing us of this. We are in Albir at the moment after setting off a week past Monday. I had purchased the Superdrug sim on the assumption that it was unlimited in Europe as well as the uk, but seemingly this changed on the 23 Feb. Not being aware of this change we lost our Wi-Fi on the way down after about 5 days, well pi.,d off. Anyway saw this post and got in touch with Camina as advised and received our sim the next day, well impressed. It sounds expensive at first, but as everyone is saying, come may, it will be costing at least £2/day so I’m well happy

Pleased you got sorted! Have a look at post number 186… I really don’t think it’s expensive at all…

Carpmart Another big thanks for this thread. Contacted Camino today. Response after a few hours. In Portugal at the moment heading towards Spain so this will work perfectly for us for the next 7 or 8 months - just need to figure out an address for a sim to be sent to!

Hi Dogsense So did Camino send the SIM to you in the UK? Thanks for the clarification. Very interested if they do as we are off in 3 weeks time and would help immensely with the "planning in advance". Paul

Yes I can confirm she will send the SIM to the UK.

Yes she posted on the 4th but not arrived yet.

Just had an email from Camino advising me my sim card is now active. Hot footed it out to the van and put it in the mifi. Bingo, we have 300gb of data to use here in deepest Surrey and France and Spain (although it might just be France if fuel priced keep rising) when we set off on Tuesday.
I'll keep you all informed on how well it performs whilst traveling. So far so good

Still waiting on my sim arriving.......posted by camino on 1 March so hoping it arrives in next few days as we set off for France soon!

Are you able to stream the iplayer without a vpn in the UK?

Edit: fuel price this morning on Il de Ré was €2.26 for Diesel up from €2.18 on Wednesday.

It was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately we live in a mobile data blackspot and the mifi was only getting 1.5 meg download speed using the fixed antenna (wouldn't connect without it), so I couldn't stream anything. No sign of needing a VPN though.

Our sim was posted out to us on 3rd March arrived here in UK yesterday (10th March), now all set up and working, with great support and prompt service from Camino throughout.
As an FYI although we ordered the 300GB data sim service it shows as being the 400gb data sim on our account profile. Camino response to my email as follows:
There’s a mistake on the website, customer area, about the product (it’s showed like 400GB). We are working to fix it, apologizes for the misunderstood.
Have been assured that the 300GB €39.99 plan is in place and not the 400GB.

Just a heads up BBC along with other VOD streaming services are rapidly blocking more and more VPNs with geolocation blocking technology currently I know these two still work for BBC iPlayer Nord and Surfshark, ExpressVPN is rumored to still be AOK but unverified.

I too noticed this and I should have mentioned this when I queried and received the same confirmation from Camino.

A quick heads up. Just tried again to stream iplayer and got the following iPlayer error code 02001. “Something went wrong loading this programme”.
Seems it appears if your not using a suitable VPN.

I've had mixed experiences using a VPN for iPlayer. When I tried it on my Firestick using the Surfshark VPN I got a similar message. Likewise BT Sport. But for the last week on my laptop I've been watching iPlayer every night on my laptop without a VPN in Andalucia and Murcia. I don't know why this is working but it is. I should add that this has been using campsite WiFi in some places and mobile 4G in others.

Its becoming more and more painful using VPN's... The comments around VPN are challenges we all face, irrespective of the Internet service used.... The core reason for this thread is focused on the provision of a 300 Gig service, what one does with the service is obviously important, but it's down to each individual to resolve their own services over the Tiekom bearer service... Tiekom's bearer is a really solid performing internet service, we are now up to around 220 Gigabytes used and remain very impressed!!

 

[Mousy]

Blimey Carpmart have you been stealing Serina’s data again? We’ve used 66 GBs so far!

I’m talking cumulative including the previous billing period! Please don’t ‘fuel the fire’ she requires absolutely NO encouragement in discouraging my modest data usage!

 

[Fulham Dave]

118 GB used so far here in Cabopino / Marbella and all is good. I purchased their phone sim with 9GB data too and its signal is fab. Really a great company to deal with a a very good product - cannot recommend highly enough
