Prepaid 3G coverage in greece.

Tobiashomer · **Ionian Islands with unlocked Three Mifi -** 14-09-2010, 06:32

I will be visiting the Ionian Islands (Corfu, Lefkada, Ithaka etc) for a month twice a year, with my wifi-only iPad, and had thought of getting an unlocked Huawei E585 modem and a Greek SIM. The E585 only works on 3G. does anyone know whether this is the best solution (I will use a iPad navigation program that needs constant coverage but at very low download rates)? Which operator has the best 3G coverage in the Ionian?
many thanks

Probably Cosmote is your best option, definately not Vodafone, Wind has good coverage also but probably not as good as Cosmote.

You will need to use their modem (E122-1) or another that is capable of dropping down to HSPA, 2G etc as the 3G coverage is not complete.

Thanks Italo. Is the modem you mention a Mifi dongle like the E585 (not a USB modem which will not work with the iPad)?
