I recently used a Carrefour dongle, it works on the Orange network.

Thanks :)

Any idea of the cost please

I have used Vodafone and Carrefour's. Vodafone changed the terms mid way through a month and I lost 25 euros (half the amount paid) and I was cut off mid month. Painful :rofl:


Used the Carrefour 1 euro day offer twice now and both times they cut me off 3 days early... I was not over the limit, nor did I get any services meassge from them. Read the small print it must be in there somewhere I think. Oh they would only let you purchase in multiples of 5 days.

how much was the dongle with carrefour?

Re: PAYG Wifi - advice needed please
 

I use Masmovil they also use Orange but much cheaper, if you search on masmovil you can either get one sent to your address or find local outlet. dead easy to use and you can run it all on line once you are up and running.

You can get an idea of the different costs by clicking the sidebar links on this site http://carrefour.es/telecom/internet...tarifa-diaria/
But it would be better to ask in the shop itself and get them to check whether the place you are staying is in a coverage area.
As The Capitans Wench says, read the small print and shop around. Internet mobile and dongle costs can be expensive here and coverage from different services depends on the area. I would think Benalmádena has a reasonable choice of services, but as I don't live there, I cant say for sure. :)
