Best way to WFH in Spain?

Phine_anne — Sat, 26 Aug 2023 08:25:25 GMT

I'm going to WFH in Spain for a week at a time a handful of times a year. No broadband out there, have previously tethered off my phone and burned through my data allowance. Would one of the EE 4G PAYG wifi routers be a reliable, cost effective way to get online? Any other options? Thanks

Hi @Phine_anne

What tariff are you on now.

The problem is that you still be limited to EE roaming limits/costs the same as your mobile tariff and therefore you wouidnt benefit from a mobile broadband solution.

I would consider a local sim to benefit from the Spanish network if i was a regular visitor as that would be the best option.

Thanks

I'm on a 40GB 30 day SIM plan at the mo which isn't enough data. I thought
the wi-fi routers were 120GB pay as you go which could be topped up, but if
that's not the case, I'll look at getting a SIM out there, thanks.

Hi @Phine_anne

Thanks for coming here.

Pay as go SIM cards have a fair usage policy for data when Roaming of 25GB, and to use data you would need a roam like home add-on.

Please see Pay As You Go charges for roaming in the EU, for more details.
