Mobile Internet in Spain (pay as you go)? UMTS 3G?
Depends who your provider is. I use Orange/Wanado and on Pay As You Go too - no problems so far and I've been with them for over 10 years. Costs are a 'tad' high, but remember that incoming calls are charged.....so, best to 'discourage' anybody from ringing you ! Receiving texts doesn't cost you anything - sending them DOES !
Reply:ive got the mobile internet connection from movistar.the biggest mobile company in spain.my contract is 1 euro a day up to 10mb of traffic,if dont use it you dont have to pay the euro,lol.no fixed charge,or minumum fee so thats okay.if you go above 10mb in the same day it costs you another euro.the coverage and speed depends where you are.sometimes its pathetic,forget about big file downloads,only good for reading your mail,messenger runs okay.also depends which part of the country you are,madrid and centre of spain are more movistar orientated,whereas north and barcelona have better vodafone coverage(vodafone other big mobile company in spain).by the way you have to buy the modem, pcmcia/usb but they give you a discount if you sign a contract for a year.about the vodafone service i only know the prices,dont know if the service is better.with vodafone you have to pay a fixed monthly rate,about 30 euros,but you still have a limited daily traffic,if you go over they charge for excess. they have unlimited traffic contracts but i think it goes up to more than 60 euros a month.hope this has given you an idea.
