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

[Tony50]

We use a bit of for driving directions, perhaps TV a couple hours a night (sad I know) got 40 GB a month do you reckon that's enough data ?

An hour of TV about 1GB data. 30 days X 2 hours = 60GB. No, probably not.

I use Vodafone 100GB £11.93 with £10 discount from normal price. Not sure if this offer still applies but I’ve had it for a couple of years now. It’s called “Red” I think.

And you can use all 100GB when roaming in the EU? My Lebara (which is on Vodaphone) only allows a maximum of 12GB in the EU - whatever your UK deal is.

 

[VXman]

For the app search for JOYN and it in there , I think you then put your RWG number in.
I‘ve downloaded the app but not looked yet when using the RWG sim, I will later today.

This is the Apple app

This is what you get when searching for joyn in android play app. None of these look like the correct one.

Ah... You have a Cerbo?

No, just a simple and not very accurate Burstner display!

That's all a bit rubbish. And it's weird I can't see that app on my Google Play

 

[Manic]

Yes now I’ve looked at the app, it not much use really.
Ive reset the data log on my router so will use that to check usage.( when I can remember where it is)

 

[Lenny HB]

Got as far as Alcaniz

Yes now I’ve looked at the app, it not much use really.

Having reset my Mifi a few times trying to get it working I've lost my data count but I know I've only used a few GB.

 

[Googlebot]

Mines still working well this morning 48mbps and kids are happily chugging through the data. 2.5GB since yesterday evening.

Ah - If I follow your link on my phone it says the app is not compatible with my phone. Strange as it is a fairy new android phone. ¯\(ツ)/¯

 

[Broadway]

And you can use all 100GB when roaming in the EU? My Lebara (which is on Vodaphone) only allows a maximum of 12GB in the EU - whatever your UK deal is.

No , unfortunately its restricted to 25GB
”You can take your home plan abroad to 51 European destinations. Use your usual allowance of data, minutes and texts at no extra cost. Inclusive roaming data on all unlimited plans has a 25GB roaming fair use policy”.

 

[Mr Mousy]

I’ve ordered a “Global 200gb Data Sim” from RWG which works everywhere apparently apart from countries we don’t plan to visit. I’ll report back after our trip to Turkey later this month (not in the van).

The data SIM isn't capped so you can use all of the data whilst abroad, the Global SIM doesn’t cover Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Venezuela, or Yemen.

This app only works on older phones.

 

[Doobray]

Has anyone used this?

RWG

https://www.rwgmobile.wales/webshop/pay-monthly/unlimited-mins-sms-200gb-data-£20-month/


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

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

I have one in my MiFi just changed the APN settings work's fine

not working very well in Montreuil, only 69mbps

 

[Lenny HB]

Did you use RWG or EE settings & where are you?

 

[Mick and Ruth]

I had originally ordered the unlimited texts and calls with 200GB of data for £20 on EE however Ive been in contact with RWG re the best sim for Data streaming as thats all I will be doing in Europe and they came back with this which will cost in total £28 a month for 200GB.

Hi Michael,

You would need the Global SIM in order to use the Data only SIM in the EU, and it is £10 a month on top.

Did you use RWG or EE settings & where are you?

They confirmed with me its EE settings that should be used. Set the Modem to auto and it started working after an hour yesterday.

I tried the RWGmobile.com APN and it refused to even connect.

They replied today to my original email confirming they could see it’s now working from the data I have used.

So far so good. If it keeps working well I will keep this one and get rid of the Lebara.

 

[Neilfg]

We have just arrived in the Netherlands, rwg not working, fine in the UK but no go here.

Response from rwg with apn settings all checked and correct, just no data flow. Tried in Netgear and Huawei MIFI and a phone no difference am leaving in a MIFI for the time being.

At the moment it looks like I'll be switching back to Popit for future trips.

 

[The Boofles]

I’m struggling with this one so I’m hoping one of you guys can help …..
I ordered the RWG Unlimited texts/minutes plus 200 gb data sim. I honestly don’t recall the question of EE or Vodaphone connection at the point of purchase and it doesn’t actually make any difference to me anyway, and duly put the sim in my iPhone. It connected straightaway, I didn’t have to activate it, took it out of my iPhone and put it in an old huawei mifi unit and I downloaded some programmes off iplayer using the mifi device as a hotspot. Brilliant, very happy with it doing what I wanted it to do ….. which is use it as a hotspot to connect to the internet from my iPad.
Then, I left UK and arrived in Portugal where the sim is still “recognised” by my iPhone and iPad but appears not to be connecting to the internet anymore.
I‘ve contacted their email helpline and after a few exchanges it would appear that maybe the problem is to do with APN settings but I can’t see how or where to change these.
The mifi device I’m using is an old one (R219z) that originally had a Vodaphone sim in it so is it possible that the mifi device is locked to Vodaphone? How do I change the APN settings for the mifi device without upsetting everything else as I want to keep my existing EE sim in my phone?
I haven’t abandoned the RWG helpline, but it’s slow going over email
Thanks in advance for any pointers x

 

[Minxy]

You'll need to go to the Vodafone interface on your tablet/laptop etc, even if it's been unlocked (which it hopefully has!) you still need to use the original interface. Once you're logged into that you can change the APN settings, have a shuftie at the below:

Once you know what the address of your MiFi is, eg, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 (or similar), you can open a web page, type in the MiFi address and make the connection. Once connected, enter the username and password, and you will then have access to the settings on your dashboard.

Make sure that it is set for roaming and auto connection.

Good luck.

Jock.

Have you left it in and on for long enough? I kept switching it off to adjust settings. Gave up and both times after an hour of the default settings it connected. Been fine since but I daren’t turn it off.

Note what network your phone has logged onto then put the RWG sim in your phone and change to the same network then put it back in the Mifi, worked for me.

Thanks JockandRita - I seem to be making a right hash of this I’m frozen out of my Vodaphone account now and we’re on the road so I’ll have to wait till we get parked up later and tried again.

Hi John - yes it’s been in the device and fully charged since Sunday so it should’ve settled down by now
