How bad is the mobile signal in Reil and in general along the Mosel valley

I need it a bit for work etc

Im pretty sure I read it was not great

Vodaphone btw

Vodafone is very poor, 3 is pretty good so possibly worth getting something like a Smarty sim if you have time.
£10 for 30gb on a 30 day rolling contract, 20 of which can be used while roaming.

They do a referral scheme which gets each party a free month, if you are interested i can send you a referral code.
 
Mmmm might have to but a bummer when I have and pay for unlimited data on vodaphone

But I cant survive with out 4g realy
Ok for one night but no good for a few nights

As I'm sure you know, unlimited isn't unlimited when roaming with Vodafone, limited to 20gb.
I have the 100gb, which in theory you can use all of, unfortunately that doesn't help as their signal is only 2g.
Having been there before I was aware of it, so had got a Smarty sim for just this reason.

I think the smarty was giving in excess of 20m/b download speed.

Doesn't make any difference when roaming as you can change the network you are connected to.

Mosel Valley has got to be the worst area in Europe for mobile data, you can't rely on it even in the villages.

The Stellaplatz at Reil has fairly good WiFi if you pick up the signal from the Tx near the entrance, the booster ½ way down the site gets overloaded. When we were there last year I was parked right by the booster used my long range aerial to connect to the main one had a great signal could even stream. Everyone around us were complaining about the poor WiFi they were connected to the booster.

As per lenny. You can change who you roam with as snowbird showed me. I went on to the best german one de2 or somethinglike that and selected their 4g whilst at reil.
I was lucky to download a page in 5 mins.
The issue at reil atm is the repairs to toilets that madam mayor hasnt sorted. No electric no booster no signal no wifi sums it up

Unfortunately even changing to manually selecting the network doesn't achieve anything with Vodafone in that area.
I had a vodafone sim, a giffgaff sim (which uses O2), and a Smarty sim (which uses the 3 network).
Smarty worked well, the others were useless there.
Unfortunately the wifi at Reil is switched off this year while renovation work is being carried out on the town hall.

Snowbird struggles with getting a decent signal here in Reil, as do most of us. Funsters roll in and out all the time so come on down there are sure to be a few Brits on site. The Stellplatz is very busy though so your best chance of getting a spot is early in the day, but have a back up plan in case you can’t get on. Enkirch just a mile along the river might fit the bill.

Thanks we might stop over somewhere else first and then head down the next day to arrive earlier
 
We were at Reil for one night but left as the 4G phone signal was virtually non existent, have three mobiles on different networks Vodafone , EE , O2 and a Mi-Fi on 3 and none would give me a stable 3/4G signal and access to the internet .
And the EHU points were all taken so we’re further down the river at Kinheim with free Wi-fi that works good 4G and 16amp EHU

We sadly left Reil on Monday on route for Twin Lakes where we are now pitched up before heading home in the donkey for a few weeks as we will be leaving the cart here at Twin Lakes ready for the winter trip south.
Many thanks to those that came to say Hi in Reil and we hope to see you all next summer. We trust you all enjoyed staying in Reil as much as we do.

Hi it’s listed on the search for sites app under Kinheim , if you don’t get in there is another equally good Stellplatz just across the river in Lösnich.
We are only a few miles away at Ürzig

Was in Bernkastle-Kues last Saturday, very very busy and it didn't help that a lot of the local roads are shut too. Made interesting driving down some extremely narrow streets in our Autograph 794. Anyhow, we've used an O2 preloaded 25Gb SIM all over Germany without a hiccup, even in Bernkastle-Kues we got 4G.

Lots of networks are barred on Vodafone roaming, only certain ones allowed, I am sure that 3 also have some limitations, don't know about any others.

I would think in Germany Voda UK may only connect to Voda DE, never tried to change on my mifi unit but generally manged a signal everywhere except on a farm near the Alps.

Vodafone do allow some other roaming providers apart from their own associated companies, I connect to Orange in France regularly even though SFR is available
