I've been a customer for a few years now and it's a good little gadget with good service, easily collectable from from the airport.

However, of late it's been difficult to get hold of them. Last week I checked their website looking at renting a device for two weeks in August. I'm sure last August I paid about €60 or so? This time that want €235.50!!!! I nearly fell off the chair. They're having a laugh.

My Huawei mi-fi will be on order very soon for £75!

I bought one last year ( the slightly cheaper one)worked a treat when set up in January but did have a bit problem getting it to work after topping up in April..they guy in the Locaturio just opposite the pharmacy on the main road was a great help ( he probably needs a lie down in a dark room after I have left though - he must think I am useless ) he recomended Digi mobile card..10€ for 1 gig data

3g Huawei UNLOCKED (necessary to give best flexibility) MiFi @£34.99 on you know where - begins with A. A friend has just bought one.

Threes' 'Feel at Home' works well. No need to use Spanish sim card - just use your 3 sim card as though you were at home.

I used the Wifi rental travel company listed on here at Easter, I wont be using them again, it was a disaster!! I have instead reserved the wifi 2 go unit from Multi Hire and will collect it when we arrive in the port

If you come out regularly it is definitely worth buying your device - read my post on this thread http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/...ta-sim-pp.html

We've been using ours as a backup for the current issues with movistar telefonica broadband (we now have a new router & manage to get it going again by picking up & replacing the telephone receiver - but that's another story!).

Our Hauwei Mifi works very well with our Orange Mundo Sim which you can either top up via orange.es or by purchasing a normal orange topup at any phone shop or, if you have a spanish bank account via online banking.

Default Wifi2go

I have been watching the comments about wifi2go for some time now and decided to rent one for our second stay at the apartment last week. The desk at the airport closes at 11 pm but I was informed that I could colect and return to Multihire, great! After exchanging emails to sort a couple of minor glitches I decided to go for the unlimited download version. The cost for ten days was about 120 euros I think. The wife found she could skype the rest of family anywhere and at anytime. We even had it on the boat working all over the bay, the one place it had a problem was at Cala Murta, not suprising though.
So instead of creeping up and down the front looking for good wifi in a quiet bar we just sat in the apartment before going out with a vodka and tonic and then left ipad behind to go out and eat. Wife said she saw more of me this time but I did miss the early doors!
