My thoughts exactly, even the kids use theirs more than I can.

Mitzyboy

So would I
Suffice it to say its a courier that isnt doing much for Masmovils reputation at the moment

I am paying 3 cents a min with Masmovil I don't think thats bad, its 35 cents a min on my movistar movil

jdr

Vodafone talk for 90 mins pay for one tariff, probable what all the kids use.

Plus the connection charge

Its been 10 days or so now.

Last night I had a call at 5.30 telling me it would be with me in 5 minutes. I'm still waiting 16 hours later!

I have almost lost hope to be honest.

I have called them about 7 times, sent three emails. They are very polite and seem to be trying to help, but the net result is nothing. I am no further forward than I was 1o days ago

I'm sure that it might be a good service as regards the calls from what I hear, but their system seems incapable of getting a simple sim card to me.

What you're missing is that the Spanish are making national calls which are cheap or even free? depending which company/contract you've got. In any case, calling the UK on a mobile is expensive to the point that I'd only do it in an emergency. I use a landline for international calls.

I have an internet phone co system where the box is plugged into the router and I use a normal phone to make calls, so only pay 1 p a minute for calls to the UK, and nothing to call people who are on the same system as I (and I have a UK telephone number). Also theres SKYPE

Sotarroni

That sounds interesting. I'll have to look into this phone set up a bit more. I do use logitech for internet video conferences, which normally works ok.

Can you tell us some more - what system and with which supplier.

Thanks

Mitzyboy

I sent a message to them asking if they will do you a deal, I'll let you know


As far as Masmovil are concerned, I received my SIM yesterday ... well, actually I drove to the couriers premises in Gandia to get it.

Stuck it in the phone and after a few tweaks it is working perfectly.
I'm quite pleased that you can go onto your own section on the web site and change many things regarding your account and phone settings.
The staff there have been fine all the way through, it was really just the courier who messed things up. He must have an aversion to coming up our mountain

So far therefore, good reports re masmovil

If you use a system such as Voipcheap for calling the UK on your mobile, as I said earlier in this thread, it isn't expensive at all. Obviously more expensive to call a UK mobile than a landline, but still by no means prohibitive. We have to put 15€ per month on our Vodafone PAYG to keep the Talk for 90, Pay for 1 tariff active, and find we can't use it all up. We have no landline, therefore no line rental to pay.

Was it UPS by any chance?

Mitzyboy

No, Nasver or something like that ..... although I have been screwed over by DHL before as well
