Using a Mifi & Data Sim in PP

[CathB]

I tried various phone/internet places in the port and it was only the one on the main road that could offer a data sim...( as you say his english is not the best) it was Digi sim 10€ for 1gb . I found this no different to the Three sim...my mifi device is 3g only but I only use my phone/ iPad for browsing / whatsapp etc and not downloading films,music etc so it was more than adequate for basic needs.
Do Movistar do a data sim ?

We used the locutorio too - see http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com...s/11673-using-mifi-data-sim-pp.html#post98338 It was called a SIM Mundo and is actually from Orange. I do speak some Spanish to maybe that helped.

If you prefer to buy via the UK & get help in English - see 0044 We have used them for an international Sim to use in the US & India.

I got my data sim from Lociturio on Joan XXIII - just asked for a data sim for MiFi, also with Mundo (Orange). I have also topped up at the internet cafe on the corner of La Gola and v. del Carme (road Zarzales is on).

Wonder if anyone can help. We have wifi in our house, which is lightning fast but costing a fortune - especially as we're only there about 8 weeks a year

I'm thinking of switching to a MiFi solution. Does anyone know what kinds of speeds you can get from MiFi in the port? Would I be able to stream sport etc?

What's the best kit and what does it cost?

I use this method. The 4G coverage is good and can stream TV while I stream music to two Sonos speakers simultaneously and reliably. This is better than Jazztel which I found to be slow and very unreliable.

I use my UK O2 SIM as a mobile hotspot with occasional data Bolt-Ons but there are limits which mean it has to go back and be used in the UK occasionally.

I also have a pay monthly Spanish SIM from ibred.es that I bought from Telesat in Pollença which is good value for data. This is an unused 4G mobile phone that stays in the apartment.

Hi.
Will be in PP next month & the apartment we are staying in does not have wifi.
I'm thinking of bringing an iPhone that my wife uses solely for work purposes and getting a local data SIM to put into it & tethering that then from various devices to stream etc.
Anyone know where in the port we could pick up one of these and roughly how much they would cost?
The data plan on my own mobile contract has limited data so probably would rather not go down that route.
Thanks a million.

I use a MiFi with a Simyo data PAYG sim - 20G for €15. I guess it would work in the same way in an iphone but it would need to be unlocked.

How do you manage to set up Sonos on a MiFi? I have been unable to get it to connect!
