hiya,

coming over to javea/Benissa/Oliva for 3 months(90 days) and need 24/7 access to emails and internet on my laptop .

Some of the hotels and apartments I stop in have really poor wifi so I want to purchase a dongle or maybe use my phone as a hotspot ?

not sure which way to go, in the UK I use my phone as a hotpot but I don't think I can use my 'three' mobile as a hotspot when in spain, even though my allowance allows me to get 4G when in spain on my phone.

I have a duel SIM mobile as I travel quite a bit and usually buy a 'local' SIM when in SE Asia so I can get roaming on my phone, but need my laptop this time to have internet.

Does anyone know if I buy a PAYG SIM card in Spain for 3 months I can use it as a hotspot, if so any recommendations for which SIM to go with , or is a dongle the way to go ?

cheers.

john

All the usual mobile firms are here - Vodafone/Orange/Yoigo(which I believe is tied up with Three)/Movistar and various others who are all piggybacking from the main players. It may be easier to visit the shops and discuss with them (you will need to take your passport)or, alternatively, they all have comprehensive websites with all kinds of information. Usually available in two or three languages.
