Use my Mobile Broadband in Spain?

manhattan

Hi,
I will be visiting my parents in spain in july and as they live out in the mountains there is no internet available

I have my laptop and a o2 mobile broadband usb stick that i use in the uk with my iPhone sim as i get free internet. I also have various other payngo sims lying about.

Can i use any of these to get cheap internet via a top up etc? Or is it best to source a spanish sim card?

What would i need and where is the best place to get what i need?
Thanks :beer:

Hi

Firstly - I don't think the iphone sim is supposed to be used in the mobile broadband dongle. Pretty sure infact - if o2 find this out they can suspend the service.

Anyway, I wouldn't use it in Spain - it's far too expensive to be honest, unles you can find a wi-fi area somewhere.

Looking at the thread about the guy who came back from the USA and got a £1000 bill, mobile broadband abroad appears to be about £5 per Mb compared to £15 for 3Gb on a UK contract. Find yourself an internet cafe, free wi-fi or at worst stay offline for a while.
