internet in europe
 

Hello,
Are you able to suggest how to get internet access while on route in Europe via mobile phone.
The idea is to have all the family being able to connect to internet while driving...
At present it seems T-Mobile does not have full coverage and it is expensive.

Thank you

In Germany I can recommend Congstar.de. But it depends whether you have a huge data transfer volume or you just want to stay online with the cellphone. My data plan costs just 2€ per month, but is has only 100MBytes transfer volume. After reaching this limit the speed is only slowing down on a modem-speed, but I`m staying still online. Its enough for WhatsApp or mailing, but not for really fast surfing.

Cheers
Jörg

The poor man's version if you don't need to be on line all the time is just to use McDonalds (or similar) + hotels free wi-fi. Most adults can survive without internet access from break to break and young children can be distracted with films etc. It's the in-betweenies that can be a problem.

I go out of my way to find places with no wifi. Sadly this is becoming increasing difficult anywhere in the world. I had the misfortune to find the most disgusting toilet in my moment of "urgent need" - on the back of the door was the wifi code, but no bog roll.

I thought I read or heard somewhere that after Oct/Nov 2016 you could use data roaming in EU at the same charge as your home country?

In Serba lots of places like cafe or restaurants have free WIFI

Safe ride

Is there still no pan-european service provider at a decent price?

No, not at the moment. EU is changing the law. There will be no roaming costs starting in 2018 I think.

Meanwhile best is to get a sim card in every country you go to or use public WIFI hotspots (MCDonalds, Hotels, Restaurants, ...)

From June 2017 on, telco providers in the EU are no longer allowed to make a price distinction between national and roaming charges. They are however still allowed to keep roaming out of their standard bundle. Meaning they might charge you for roaming like they would charge you for going over your bundle volume. It is still unclear whether that will be the way it'll go. I haven't seen any telcos make statements to clarify how they will implement it. At least the telco I work for hasn't taken an official position yet. I guess they are all just waiting to see what the others will do.

The market seems to be taking off...

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your replies...
I just booked webspot for pocket wifi device
It is around 10 euros per day for unlimited internet on the go.

Why not just use your UK SIM? From June it won't cost anything to use it across the EU.

10 euros a day, 300 euros a month? That's a ridiculous amount of money.

I tend to agree with AnTyx there - if you are in the UK, consider buying a SIM from Three if you are not already a customer - they already offer mobile date internet roaming as part of their monthly bundles in all their 'at home' countries, which includes the vast majority of mainland Europe already.

True that . They also let you use your data allowance wherever three operates, without any extra charges. . I've been using my 3-italia simcard whenever i go to the UK for years now. Look for their pay as you go plans.

Naturally all this will be moot starting tomorrow......

www.yallo.ch

has sometimes special offers. Between 40-50 USD / month with 40 GB of Roaming in EU/CH a month. Free calls inside of switzerland / EU also roaming calls.

The Abos has can be cancelet each month.

Good if you need highspeed and an amount of traffic. In Europa you mostly will find 4G, in rural areas 3G with a good speed.

Has to be optained in Switzerland. Please consider the EU borders, going east is soon non-EU areas and you had to buy roaming units.

Surfy

Until the end of 2020 the UK remains a de facto non-voting member of the EU, so all data plans are still applicable without any extra roaming charge within the whole of the EU (for 90 days I believe).

After that it depends if our government are able to negotiate their way out of a paper bag. Other EU states will continue to enjoy free roaming, so if you're visiting the EU you can buy a SIM in any country and use it without roaming charges in all EU states.

Currently there is a good offering from Vodafone through their Voxi brand with endless data plans (including 5G if your phone has it) for £35 a month on a one month contract - all the Voxi contracts include endless calls and texts and there are limited data plans from £10 per month for 6GB (they are always having special deals to get extra dat on one of their plans) up to £20 per month for 45GB. The coverage is across Europe Using the Vodafone and EU roaming is enabled so calls and data are as if you are at home.

I am pretty impressed with it so far and won’t be changing anytime soon.

I wonder if Vodafone UK will still offer free EU roaming once it's not required to by law. ;)

A very good question however they may have an issue when it comes to contracts as many people will have a contract that states that they have roaming and if they try to renege on that then I would expect it to end up in court.
