Carpmart can you help Al.

Al n Val - Al, we are having a few technical issues ourselves in Spain. Not sure why. It’s a bank holiday so I’m being patient

I’m not sure of Camino would be happy with me giving it out to everyone, so I will PM you the guy in supports direct mobile number so you can WhatsApp him tomorrow morning. Let me know how you get on!

thats exactly what i've done

see screenshot translation of Sin red saying no network, its the sim card it has to be

View attachment 702173

It’s definitely the sim not activated as you stated in first post you asked for 07/01/2023 so it will not be active unless you ask Camino to start earlier but you will be charged for that

I decided to have 1 activated this morning to make sure it worked ok

just as well I did tbh

 

[Al n Val]

So this morning Tiekom sent me this email

“Good morning Allan,
We have checked the SIM and we have found a configuration problem by Vodafone.

We have claimed it and they are working to fix it as soon as possible.

We will inform you as soon as it is solved.

Regards”

They’ve activated the 2nd card as well so i’m gonna give that a go

As Arnie said

“I’ll be back “

Don’t you need a VPN to stream UK TV?

Camping Mar Menor….

I’m hoping Camino can send you a SIM somewhere if you are going to be static for a while, but you’re more than welcome to have one of these if you come down here.

You need to get a VPN we use Nord and it’s very good but we got a good deal on a three year contract.
you can get a free one but any info I ever got was that it’s better to pay for a contract as the free ones aren’t up to the job? Although I am unable to verify that as I payed for ours.

 

[Toady]

I think you might be right. I will look into adding a VPN.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Nord have some good deals on right now.

our friends are just around the corner at Los Narejos in Alcazeres, we will be meeting up with them sometime, how would it work?.

BTW Guiller has replied to me and said..

“Good afternoon Allan,

Sorry I couldn't attend to you earlier.
Vodafone has had a problem in its systems and since 01/01 the SIMs of many customers have stopped working.
It is a configuration problem that has already been claimed but we depend on Vodafone.
As soon as it's resolved I'll let you know.

Regards,”

So hopefully it will get sorted before friday, fingers crossed

Yes I’ve used it quite extensively. Works fine.

I got exactly the same message.

 

[Al n Val]

I got exactly the same message.

So Guiller contacted me today to apologise of the delay, he also said that one of my sim cards, no. given should now be fully operational and working ok

but it still says no service in my iphone and Sin red in my router

Its starting to get too near to setting off day as well

 

[Carpmart]

Mine is working fine Al

Can you go through a process of taking the SIM out, powering down, powering up, insert SIM, power down, wait 15 seconds and power up, enter PIN if needed, probably will be, it’s on the card in the little sim sleeve and see if that works?

out of the iphone or router Harvey?

I've tried everything including all what you have said, i've tried in both my iphone, my wife's iphone and the router, both iphones say no service, the router says Sin red, every so often it also says about 5 words in Spanish which i cannot read quick enough.

I then try my Vodaphone UK sim from my iphone, in the router, and it works instantly so I know it has to be the sim cards which aren't activated.

i'm really pee'd off tbh

 

[Carpmart]

Use the sim that Tiekom say is now live and ideally do it in your router/mifi, unless you can’t enter a pin with that? If you can’t, get it working in the iPhone first, then insert in router.

I think you should just stop home Al if you don't get them sorted in protest.

i've thought about that, but that also failed as well

 

[Littlewheels]

Don’t you need a VPN to stream UK TV?

Not if you use TVMucho all U.K. channels.l hour free a day so check it out after downloading the App, you pay by DD but only for the month/s you use it and cancel it vis the App. l have used it for years,stream through WiFi or my phone, connect to TV via USB

 

[Al n Val]

It shouldn't take me 3 xxxxing days to get a sim card working

 

[Carpmart]

Tried that and its failed

Can you give me a bit more? Is it connecting and showing 4G service, have you tried to make a call, can you send a text?
