no proxies, packet filtering, throttling, etc.
SSH will defo work.
Skype will work good, providing you have some solid 3G bandwidth.
Good luck!

I've been reviewing what Cosmote and Wind are offering for prepaid data:

COSMOTE Internet Monthly Pass 60 – 60MB for €3
COSMOTE Internet Monthly Pass 200 - 200MB for €5
WIND Talk & Surf 300 – 300MB for €8.50

It says you can buy the Cosmote bundles as many times as you like - until it runs out. I don't know about the Wind one - you may be limited to one per month.

Hi guys (and ladies),

Does anybody knows if its possible to buy a prepaid sim at the Thessaloniki Airport? I am staying in sommer two weeks in Sarti which seems to has no cellphone shops...

Thanks Wolf.

Well,

I just returned from a week in the Peloponnese.
Used a Wind mobile broadband prepaid card which cost me ~15Eur.
The guy in the store said it'd be valid for 7 days, in reality it was open for 8 days.
Reception was so-so, even in major cities.
When it did work, speed was OK.

Both Cosmote and Wind are offering 500MB for 5€ up to 30/4/2013:
COSMOTE Internet Monthly Pass 200
WIND Mobile Internet 100

With both you can buy several in the same month. With Cosmote you can delay the expiry date of unused data by buying subsequent 3€ bundles...

Cosmote has the widest 3G/HSPA coverage (almost everywhere) plus LTE coverage in Athens&Thessaloniki, Wind the worst (good in big cities but little coverage in the countryside ). no LTE from Wind yet, is planned at the end of 2013. Cosmote 3G/HSPA network is overloaded thus Wind's actual browsing/downloading speed (where 3G/HSPA is availiable) is better and faster than Cosmote's.

but Wind prepaid F2G cards offer 1GB for 5euro (500mb+500mb gift) valid for 1month http://www.wind.com.gr/en/f2g/bundles/ . activation only via internet at Free to Go
also Wind offers cheap bundles for calling back to Germany/UK/France/US/Canada etc.

i don't recommend Vodafone, expensive calling rates & internet bundles. medium 3G/HSPA coverage (worst than Cosmote better than Wind's). they just launched LTE in Athens

I'm not aware of a EUR5/500MB data option on Vodafone Greece SIM cards.

You can find the necessary settings on the "Vodafone" link of my signature.

There is such an option for the last two years or so. They just sell it as an "offer" to their 200MB (now 100MB) data option but their 500MB is extended every few months, just like the 500MB "offers" of Cosmote and Wind.

Since the guides on my signature are rather old, I'll prepare in a few days a new overview about the available prepaid data plans in Greece.

I'm using Cosmote internet pass 60 (Cosmokarte) because I can subscribe by SMS from this Nexus Android tablet. It would be cheaper to use internet pass 200 - which currently offers 500MB - but for that I would have to ring 1330 (I tried an SMS with '200' and '500' - doesn't work) which means moving the SIM into a phone and back so I haven't tried it.

Can anyone tell me what happens when you ring 1330? Is it a multiple-choice selection? Is it only in Greek? Any other way of subscribing?
