Re: Yoigo roaming problems
I also gave up with them and switched. It's a pity and I'm sure they didn't enter into their UK roaming agreement knowing that it was deficient and for all I know it might have improved since the summer.
But if being with Yoigo means that in the UK I can't be contacted by people who have my spanish number, then it's no good to me.

Regarding YOIGO
I wanted to change from Movistar to Yoigo and the girl in the shop a while back said there maybe problems sending messages to a uk mobile as sometimes they do recieve them,sometimes they dont, sometimes they recieve them a week later. This sort of put me off changing my spanish number from movistar to them as I do get frequent texts from my parents in england and vice versa.
Can anyone clarify that this is a problem with yoigo and why.??

Re: Yoigo roaming problems
I personally didn't have that problem. I was with Yoigo for 6 or 7 months and it worked perfectly while I was in spain. As far as I know, at least, I didn't miss any texts from the UK and all my texts arrived.

Re: Yoigo roaming problems
Does anyone know what network Yoigo uses in UK?
My phone will only connect to Vodafone but only for emergencies and it won-'t recieve calls or messages either.
I called Yoigo and they said they use a network, itseems to have a three in it but I hadn-t heard of it.
They said they can put in request for service, but they need a phone number, and of course, my phone isn-t working......
First thing I do on getting back to spain wll be change to anotehr network.

As an aside, I tested O2 (in the UK) to SIMYO (Spain) and that worked fine. I'm considering switching from Yoigo to Simyo.

Re: Yoigo roaming problems
As of 26 Feb 2010, no sms contact between Yoigo Spain and Tesco UK, either way. Pretty unimpressive service!
