Lanzarote Data SIM - Best way?

Lokolo

Hi All,

Heading to Lanzarote and would ideally like some internet access, so was thinking of buying a SIM out there, loading some euros on it and using my tablet as a wifi hotspot.

So...

http://www.movistar.es/particulares/ficha/bono-extra-50-mb

I found this, buy a SIM from Lanzarote with Movistar provider. 3 euros provides me with 100mb. I can then get extra 50mb's for 50c. (so total 10 euros is 800mb!?)

However the line that hasn't translated very well

Puedes dar de alta la Tarifa Internet 3 ahora mismo en la web, pulsando el bot!n "Contratar" .

You can enlist the Internet 3 Tarifa on the web right now, by clicking the "Hire" . You can also do it in your store Movistar, free for calling or sending SMS or ALTA3BB High3 to 1200 or toll-free at 1004 :

So I can't tell who I send the text to and with what message, I think "ALTA3BB High3" to 1200...

Can someone just confirm my thinking that I am not going crazy? Or if anyone has any better ideas....

You would be better off with a Tuenti Movil SIM if they will sell one to you(Have your passport to hand). 6€ for 1GB of data. 10€ for the SIM with 10€ of credit. The 6€ will come out of that. If you would prefer 3GB for the month, top up with 20€ instead and 15€ will be taken instead.

Otherwise the cheapest would be a Carrefour Movil data SIM at 1€ per day for 100MB(slowed down to 128kbps when used up).
Obtainable from Carrefour supermarkets.
