Mobile Phone and Web in Spain!

dronid

My Mother has moved to Spain (Almeria) and is living in a quite remote area with regards communication. She has mobile phone access, and it seems available with a couple of providers though coverage is a bit thin on the ground. She also has a computer. Essentially I’m trying to find a low cost (or at least lowest cost) solution so that she can get basic e-mail access and maybe some limited web access. It’s either that or a long drive over the Sierra! Does anyone have a solution? That is assuming I’ve posted in the right place!

Potentially this could provide a solution for a number of people in the area.

Thanks for any assistance you can give!:D

It would depend on the sim card in use, if using a UK sim, I would think an o2 sim would be best (unfortunately I think only contract users get full net use on o2).

Alternatively, any Spanish sim card should allow net use, popping into a Spanish mobile phone shop should get the rates charged.

A quick google brings up this Spanish simcard

Seems very reasonable for data €20 buys 25 MB, plenty for email and a little net use.
