When you say GSM 4/5 what do you mean? Are you talking about bars?
Have you tried the Yoigo SIM in your 3G modem in your area? They use Movistar, so in theory that should have the best 3G coverage.
It will work out a lot cheaper than the 50 euros you waste on Vodafone.
I'm sure we can work something out. There has to be something that will work. |
Hi Good to hear from you.... No not read the book yet but have heard about it...
I have tried what you suggested, put the Yoigo card into Alcatel Blau modem and appeared to be about the same . These are the diagnostics from Blau and Yoigo.

Vodafone dongle would not accept any other card.
Something interesting this morning..... I had emailed to Blau asking what was the problem and had also emailed to Simyo because I tried to order one of their cards online..... Had a reply from both this morning..... It is the same company. Both emails were the same, asking me to ring this number, which was the same for both companies!
So no luck yet......
Any more suggestions???....
cheers.... have a good one...
