Yea seems to be a bit of a dodgy idea to change I am with vodafone and pay them around 40 od's a month expensive but get the internet no problems but cant get anything in English. also can only ring within the country you are in at that time but cant ring anywhere in the world without charge even to Spain.

I pay €4. Yes four euro a month on Simyo. I get 20 minutes which I don’t use cos most people are on WhatsApp and 700 MB which is ample cos there is free wi-fi everywhere. They do have larger plans but the cost is nowhere near what has been quoted on here. They operate through Orange on a 4g signal. Fonefix will advise on all tariffs.

As the OP just to let you know that I ordered Lobster online which was easy and I am now waiting for a SIM to pop through the post. I ordered the Medium plan which is still cheaper than Vodafone..... we shall see!

well the trick is not to clif edge change, i kept my 3 mobile mifi device, and EE 3G PAYG phoine, and got spanish DVBLab internet and land line, and an Spanish Oranage Mobile sim in a cheap UK unlocked 3G phone to compare. The idea was you can always back out the ones you dont want when you worked out whats the best plan. As it turns out, the DVBLab internet is ok, but the 3 mifi is till runing ,so i ight keep both. Unimpressed with spanish orange, can only phone spanish numbers. We'l lsee whats still running after brexit. I might switch the spanish phone to Lobster.

How are Lobster customers getting on?
I am thinking of going with them.
Do you think it’s a good deal and are happy with the call reception?

You can’t beat Simyo. €4 euros a month for 20 minutes which is all I need cos everyone I know is on WhatsApp and 700MB which is plenty cos most places have free WiFi. I’ve never exceeded my quota. Bigger packages are available but still cheap.
