Are they a serious company? I write websites as a small business and offer different languages for a very small charge. Why don't they offer different langauges?

Anyone care to translate?
Which languages would you suggest? Catalan, Basque, Valencian or Mandarin.

See the problem?

If you enter www.yoigo.com into the search window in google it will give you the option to translate. Sometimes it is a bit mechanical but you will get the idea.

Not related to sim cards but to internet provision. I dumped telefonica internet and took up Ya.com as a cheaper option but I had to "contract" my recording voice answers to questions over the phone, all in Spanish. Even if the web pages are in English language as well, you might still need some Spanish to complete a transaction. My proble was that it was all recorded messages and they speak so bloody quickly.

Alright there.

This thread seemed to be quite old but im new and just looking for a few answers! So sorry for bringing up a new thread!

Anyway, I Live in spain and I have been on Yoigo now for about a year. Had a few problems with it a few months after i got it but its been fine up until now, Im not recieving text messages from the UK. Which is a major kick in the back side for me because i normaly tend to get loads! more than what i do from spain actually. I have rung Yoigo and all they were no help at all, Told me to get my friend in the UK to ring their his Sim card Company, But im not recieving them from ANYONE so its a bit of a pain to get them all to ring.. I actually thought there was a problem with my Sim card, So i bought a new Yoigo but it still doesnt work, unfortuantly.

Sorry for the long post, Just wanted to know if anyone has had or know of anyone who has had this problem before, and how it got handled.

Thanks, Regards.

Welcome to the Forum, Someone who knows Spanish Mobile Operators will be along.

Bold is better than small but there is no need to Text Format everything. We can see it

I have the same problem...re; text from the UK....some of my friends can reply, some cant, I ive found the Sim wont work in the UK....so be warned if you take it there with you,

im lucky ive got a dual sim phone, so I have both Vodafone and Yoigo in mine.
I do like Yoigo, its cheap to send text, and depending on the contractyou can ring someone else on Yoigo for only 12c....upto an hour a day..

My Grandmother may have a problem when you combine sight and smoke
