Get on-line when you're on the Costas
Accessing the internet from the comfort of home is something that is generally taken for granted, but having that same convenience whilst travelling in Spain can be extremely expensive. However, a new service from 0044 Ltd, the Spanish SIM card and Global SIM card specialists, means that you can get on-line throughout Spain at a fraction of the cost that a UK provider might charge and without the need to commit to a lengthy contract with a local broadband offering.
0044.co.uk has launched a new data solution in the form of a simple USB stick and a range of data ‘bundles’. The Vodafone Spain USB stick simply plugs into a lap top or PC and automatically installs providing immediate access to the internet. ‘WiFi hotspots’ can also be used throughout Spain and means that you can remain on-line without using any of the data bundle you have chosen. The USB stick is available at 0044.co.uk and costs £99.00 with unlimited data bundles starting at £59.00 or for less than £2.00 per day. This equates to a massive saving of over 40% when compared to many UK offerings and without the need to commit to a contract. Data can also be accessed by using a Global SIM card or that 0044 Ltd can provide and, although the costs are not a low on the Global SIM card it’s a great way to access the web via your mobile handset.
Angus MacLeod of 0044 commented, “Feedback from many of our expat customers indicates a growing need to get on-line whilst in Spain, either as part of the search process for a property, or once settled in their new home. UK providers still charge hefty roaming charges for data and not everyone wants to commit to Spanish ISP’s or broad band contracts.” The new Spanish data solution from 0044 Ltd aims to deliver a simple solution for on-line banking, web browsing and emailing amongst other activities, as does the Global SIM card that 0044 Ltd also provide. “It’s an extremely easy solution to adopt and is fully supported from the UK customer support team” he added.
