Not technically minded but appreciate some advise.
Having purchased an iPad and then a Spanish Vodafone micro-sim all I thought we had to do was sit on the terrace (San Eugenio) and speak/see children and grandchildren via Skpe and 3G. Alas, not so. Skype over 3G doesn't appear to work where we are, but if we toddle off to a bar with WiFi, it's great.
Not wishing to be caught out on the next visit, would I be better with a laptop and just bite the bullit and have a phone line and ADSL installed in the house, or will a mobile PAYG dongle, suffice? With sound and vision, we just feel we would stay longer on the island.
Any recommendation on provider appreciated too.
