Is this as good as it seems? EU roaming included.

Forgotten about that one had 3 days of rain.
You have been reading too many of my threads.

I read them too make sure I stay away from the rain and cold…

West Sussex is lovely BUT only when the sun is out.

Just to let you know, in Spain earlier this month Vodafone were doing 140gb for 20 euros. Worked well in our Mifi. We normally have 6 things connected and use it for Spotify, magazine downloading, streaming etc. We have used 280gb in one month!

We arrived at Santander on 8/3 to 19C a spot of rain as we passed Burgos and 19C in Aranjuez, 27C at Granada and today 21C at Motril. No rain since passing Burgos and almost wall to wall sun throughout. Can’t really believe how good it’s been

I saw this on a another thread early and have sent email asking about use in router and I it need using before travelling to EU because I believe Popit needs it to be used 2 weeks before being used in eu.

In Nutbourne and Southbourne for 30+ years, unfortunately house building is spoiling the area and with hundreds more planned will only get worse

How did you word it Mifi or router? They are not the same, under offcom rules they have to allow you to use a phone sim in a Mifi but no obligation to allow it in a router.

Others have used Popit sim's just the day before travelling and they have been OK.

Tell me about it…Chidham was sort of protected a bit…but yes…ridiculous amount of building…sold up a year ago….shame.

I asked about router because that’s what use.
I got a reply as I was typing this and it sounds ok
This is the reply

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your email. Yes it would work in a router. The SIM needs to be activated in the UK before leaving for the EU but once this is done via a single call or SMS it will work fine when roaming. There is no cap or restriction.

I had a Superdrug simm once and they swore it would work in a MiFi but it never did….be careful…they are sales people ….they will say anything…even in writing.

You must have been a regular to The Old House At Home

 

[Hugoman]

I find it best these days to buy the simm in the EU…then test it there and then. If it doesn’t work then take it back. Yes you have to have a VPN but so what. The UK ISP’s hate you roaming because it costs them a lot of money…so always trying to get out of it, throttling etc.

If it’s just for a month or so then OK but if one is travelling g more extensively a Eu simm is by far the best IMHO. In fact if you are in the EU for a lot of the year why wouldn’t you have an EU simm.

So the thread needs to be split into 1-2 months simm needed or long term.

Worked fine for me in my Mifi although had to suffer it being on Three.

Excellent news it will work in a MiFi!

Will keep everyone posted, or if I don’t when we are away, you know it’s gone wrong. :-(

 

[Hugoman]

You must have been a regular to The Old House At Home

Ha Ha yes…many an hour spent in there….and Anchor Bleu…my other half is the daughter of Richard Gale who owned Gales Brewery in Horndean… I expect you’ve heard of them…so frequented a lot of pubs in Sussex….they owned 300 at one time …sold out to Fullers who ruined the business ….do miss the area….but not the new builds or traffic…or sewage outflow !

Might pop into Vodafone tomorrow…seems pretty good €20 for 140GB… does it work in rest of EU ?

 

[daveclare]

No that's the only downside. It said no roaming on the SIM card envelope. But it did work for two days on our way back through France. Go figure.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Gales Brewery in Horndean… I expect you’ve heard of them

Yes BIL worked for them delivering beer…
They built a new place at Horndean then houses in the old site.
I use to live a few minutes walk from The Travellers and that is a Gales pub, although cannot say it was a good one

Yes a sad time…Other half, father and siblings wanted to keep it out of the hands of Fullers but pressure from others who just wanted the money won out….

 

[VXman]

been lovely in Chippiona last few days Lenny, looking good for next week as well.

Reading this thread is very annoying. It's supposed to be about Sims and data. Can you two go and get a room!

HaHa….right back to Simms…..what was the question

 

[EuroTrotters]

Don't do planning Ferry booked for the 27th, France/Spain/Portugal depends on where the sun is, last April we gave up in Spain and came back to France for some warmth.

Le me know where you get to.

It would be great to meet up with you both again.
