Cheapest way of using mobile internet abroad (Spain)

MarkDavis · 9 Mar 2011 at 22:28

I'm off to Spain in a few weeks for a bit of R&R.

Going to have my lappy (and 3 mobile MiFi dongle/Wifi hotspot) with me as I need to do some work as well.

Is there a cheap way of buying a Spanish pay as you go type SIM that I can just slot in?

www.unlock-dongles.com seems legitimate, seen quite a few mentions of it but haven't used it myself. I've been thinking about it though.

Apparently 3 will do it for £15 though, if it's a PAYG one it'll only cost that, if it's contract you still have to pay the rest of your contract.

^^ Useful, thanks. For £10 its worth a punt.

Any idea where I can buy a Spanish SIM or what telco to use, where to buy etc?

Absolutely no idea!

The unlock dongles thing I have no personal experience of, but I looked it up once or twice and saw them mentioned more than once by a few different people, that's as much as I know.

You can get Spanish sim cards with pre loaded credit from a well known auction site

Search for seller pre paid Spain (maybe all one word)

I've got a 3 mifi that i unlocked myself (e585,not hard to do it yourself) and that works just fine with our iphones and ipad at our holiday home in Murcia.

Hope this helps
