Roaming
Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2023 5:59 pm
Subject to a £2 charge a day each for roaming, (thanks Boris you unconscionable c*n*), I bought a pocket router (TP) to use with a local SIM card. First attempts with Lebara were useless, their monthly recharge procedure a nightmare of "turn off data, send an activation SIM, wait for answer which never came, etc. turn on" and they were very unhelpful.
I then found a SIM card on offer from Amazon, €7.95, pay as you go, €1 a month plus costs, however data is free. It's designed for use in watches, cars, alarm systems - and pocket routers. Basically devices which do not make calls or send texts.
A wait of 24 hrs after filling in the forms (Spain is strict regarding registering SIM cards) and now it's on. If I don't report back here, it's working well.
