Thank you Bolti.Can I purchase this in a shop? I ask because since arriving in Spain I have fractured my pelvis so need to work out the method of buying it.
Kind regards

We too are on a Digi Mobile sim card, which uses the Moviestar network. I only got the 50Gb card for €15 on Monday, as we expect to be home by next Tuesday.
The chap in the shop set it up in my mobile phone, which I then transferred to the MiFi. He assured me that the data is valid for Europe, and not just Spain.
When asked for ID, I produced my driving licence which I just happen to carry. It was accepted.

HTH

what he said ^^^^

It is & the UK . Also when used in the uk if it is one with calls you get them free as well.We have 3 phone & data sims. pleased to see it will work in a mifi ,as it never occurred to me to ask that when we needed something for the house & going away.I only ask about use in a router which the girl said isn't allowed.
I don't know about 50 Gb when out of spain as I think it reverts to 'roaming' as per eu directive which would be
15€ ÷3€= 5 x 2 = 10+1= 11Gb when roaming

Steer clear of Andy ripped us off good style a couple of years ago. The card kept going off data and when I went back he said it was the networks fault not his. I even rang the network involved they had no record of the card being registered! I said to him if a Ford car goes wrong you do not take it back to the factory you take it the supplying dealer. He did not want to know. Buyer Beware!.!

He also wanted to rip me off as well with my iphone when it went quiet, he said the earpiece speaker was faulty and needed replacing at a cost of .€45 and he wanted it overnight

The guy a few doors away cleaned it free which literally took 30 secs and it was perfect

I wouldn’t recommend Andy at all because of this
