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

[Hugoman]

Reglo one I only used last year in France is impossible to do anything on their website but that is French and probably won't be in France.
I think you are getting confused with my replies to another member about idmobile.
Like others on here I have now bought a £20/month 200GB RWG sim for my mifi.

God…Not confused again ! Yes, Reglo site is not exactly intuitive… but I figured it out in the end. It worked in Spain for me as well… and you can park it if you change it to the €1 plan and then don’t use it.

RWG sounds intriguing….but as they say if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Will be interesting to see your results but for me I need someone to give it a test over 6 months and see if there are any restrictions. From what I see you definitely can’t use it for more than 6 months in a year…but I was thinking use it for 6 months (no VPN so save on that) then switch to local Sim for next 4 months….also have an old Vodafone Contract which allows me 25GB roaming which is useful to have in an iPad so don’t have to carry MiFi device around with me as has a battery lifespan of about 3 mins .

Has anyone used this?

Cheaper than Lebara and you get the full 200GB abroad?

Can I put it in my unlocked MiFi and crack on?

Thanks for pointing this Sim out.
I contacted Support and they confirmed that I could run a £4/5Gb plan as normal then, upgrade to £20/100Gb for a month or two, dropping down to the cheaper plan later.
This suites my usage as I need to keep wifi contact with my Raspberry Pi running Venus OS during winter months.
Sim ordered.

I have emailed them back with a billing query as they said it renews on the 1st each month and I ordered it on the 19th?

Popped it in my and it worked, emailed them to be sure, to be sure.
I'll try it in the Mifi now.

Just look on my account, ordered it on Monday 20th and next bill due 20th April. So its starts for order/despatch rather than date of activation.
I got that email too, which says your bundle will renew on the 1st of the month.

Under FAQ, for how bundles work it says-
Our bundles are standard monthly allowances which usually run from the 1st of each month and renew on the 1st of each month (although some customers may have different renewal dates)

I think it might be a legacy thing for PAYG sims.

They replied saying my allowance starts on the 1st but the bill is the 19th?

What are your speeds like? Mine are rubbish but it might be the signal.

That is mighty confusing on the billing, I wonder if the next bill will be £20 + extra for the few days until the end of the month.

A bit slow today 30mb/s checked my normal sim it was the same normally get 50mb/s. That's in the phone it will be better in the mifi.

Tried it in the Mifi 42mb/s.

 

[Manic]

Ive emailed them to see when allowance starts, not that I’ve got my sim yet.

 

[Hugoman]

Hold on…it’s bound to be OK in the UK…. It’s when you start roaming and piggy backing onto EU networks that is the real test ….assuming you’ve bought it for EU roaming…it’s a pity Lenny HB can’t increase his next trip to 4 or 5 months to give it a really good test.

 

[Googlebot]

They replied ref the billing, the allowances do renew on the 1st, you get billed monthly whenever you buy it. If you get more data, so be it.

The adult content filter was also turned on. They turned it off for me, I can now access the, erm, stuff that I couldn’t before.

Hope it works at a good speed a week tomorrow.

Does this mean I will be charged pro rata for days between billing date and 1st of the month?

They pretty much said the same to me.

I get billed on the 19th but allowances renew on the 1st?

If I get more data then that’s okay apparently.

 

[Manic]

My sim has arrived and will be setting it up tomorrow.

 

[Minxy]

Looks like you get the previous allowance FOC and only once it renews are you billed for the future provision.

[Dobby 2]

Tried it in the Mifi 42mb/s.

Hi Lenny, Did you just take it out of your phone and pop it in the Mifi?

I suppose we shall all find out on 1st April

Hi Lenny, Did you just take it out of your phone and pop it in the Mifi?

Thats all I did, worked fine. Emailed them to remove parental controls received an email couple of hours later saying all done and may need to reboot unit. Seems fine.

 

[rob1234]

hi forgive me,, but is this on a month to month contract it say you can cancel it but I'm unsure if any fees will be added for doing so ,,with my smarty plan i can stop it when i want ,,?

Yes, it’s a monthly contract, similar to smarty without the 12gb roam cap

 

[Lenny HB]

Hi Lenny, Did you just take it out of your phone and pop it in the Mifi?

Yep.

Also

There is a very good thing I learnt the other day about contracts if you move fromnone to another you get a cooling off period, so even if you are only a couple of months into a 24mth sim only contract and you move to another because you can you get a 14day cooling off period on your new contract meaning you are free to cancel at any time

 

[Manic]

I’ve got the RWG sim working in my phone and asked the question about allowance start date and got this back, that’s as clear as mud

Hi Nick,
It will be active now and you will receive a fresh allowance on the 1st of April.

Not tried it in the router yet, off to give blood now ( free tea and biscuits ) and try in router when I get back.

Also in my phone the speed is the same as Smarty in my present location

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

I have 3 phones now on Vodafone before it was with EE.
With Vodafone I have 25g a month now as didn’t want any extra as I have the Netgear for when away in the van but with Vodafone I can activate an extra 25g for a months use and I have 6 of these I can do but can only use 1 in a month.
Handy if you need a bit extra.

 

[Mr porky]

Ordered 2 sims the other day. Just awaiting delivery.
Time will tell as we are off to Spain around Easter time for a couple of months.

It's very confusing so I take this means that as my 1st payment was on the 19th March next payment due 20th April. So if I used say 100GB up to the end of the month it would rset on the 1st and I would get another 200GB.

Is that how you read it?

I asked them that question and they confirmed that was the case.

 

[Manic]

I’ve got it working in my router (HHawes B535) now but for some reason the speed is slower than it was earlier, it working iPad,iPhone and firestick all at the same time so it’s working ok.
The test will be after 2nd April when it will be used in France.

 

[Howard B]

When fitted to a router is it restricting to one device for tethering?
Thanks

 

[Shropshire lad]

Before buying the sim I checked that I could tether multiple devices and received an email confirming I could. I have just tethered two devices at the same time and both worked well.

 

[Lenny HB]

It's working in France just tried Netflix it's streaming fine.
