    Hello TheChilPill

    Hope you don't mind me asking, is the Huawei E5331 high speed 3G 21.1 MBPS Mifi unlocked modem suitable for my ipad ? (Amazon £43.99 ) and what do you reckon to the Spain data sim in 3G from Holidayphone.co.uk ? (1gb of data £29.90)

    Many thanks

    Yup, that device will work no problem at all (in fact, they all will - they just send out a wifi signal, which any device with wifi can pick up).

    The data sim sounds expensive to me though. If you're confident enough, just visit any mobile shop in Spain and you'll get one much cheaper (I've previously bought similar for 10 euro). Vodafone & Movistar have always been easiest to deal with for me. If you're visiting a tourist area, it's a request they'll be used to and most speak good English.

    Great, many thanks will wait until we arrive is Spain for the sim.

    Notice that the mifi doesn't come with a mains charger, will the included USB lead be ok plugged into the iPad USB charger plug ?

    Thanks again
