Default USB Broadband Yoigo no no

Well - we have had our fingers well and truly burned by Yoigo - We approached then asking if their system would support Skype! and the sales girl said it would.

However having signed up and got our dongle - we attempted to use several VOIP based programmes including skype and non would work - we later found out that in fact Yoigo does not support voip - classic mis-selling - or perhaps assistants who simply don't know! However, we were assured by the Yoigo web that the system would support "messenger" and initial trials with that did seem to work OK - however on a regular basis we can only get calls in one direction or not at all - despite a good Yoigo signal at one end and a hard wired link at the other end. At other times the quality is rough and our conclusion is that the system is rubbish - well at least we know and won't use them again. So we are now looking for something a bit more reliable and would be interested in systems others have used successfully - especially based in Benidorm and in Javea - do you have any recomendations?

Masmovil uses Orange as a provider but at much better rates and they support Skype no problem as I have used it

By the way you will not need to get a new dongle, just get a new sim for masmovil that's what I did and works fine you can also run it all online and in english

Hi

Another word of caution, Vodafone have just changed their Pay As You Go packages and they are nowhere near as good
