Mobile Internet in Europe

[Pollik]

Ah...made it work now. Vodafone sim working in the TIM dongle.

Will it work in Europe? Who can say, but with luck I may find out.

Thanks for your help.

Now that you can be confident that your TIM dongle should work, now you can play with the other one so you have a backup!

Although....the APN doesn't match up with any of the vodafone on that page.

Is the number (*99#) always the same? And has anyone used one of the online unlocking sites?

Most providers have several APN names, depending on the type of contract or pay as you go plan you have. If this setting works in your modem in the UK it will also work on roaming.

It will work in most countries - note that the better value roaming bundle mentioned above is added on request, not by default

I think that bundle requires the Vodafone Live access point

As prepaid, there is a solution by www.europasim.com where you pay 6 € per day (incl. 150 MB a day) in 33 EU countries. With the same card, you can surf in Italy for 2 € per day (incl. 500 MB per day)
