Has anyone tried the new Towi SIM for internet or mobile phones in Tenerife?

[KirstyJay]

Has anyone seen the new www.Towi.es sim advertised? It's made for phones, but I can't see why you couldn't use it just for data or bounce it as a hotspot from a mobile.

It's 6€ for 1GB, or you can get more at 1€ per 200mb extra, but I don't see the point, as if you run out the speed drops to 32kb/sec and you can top up for the same price.

If you don't use it up, then it carries over onto the next month...

Sounds like a good option for people that visit regularly, or those that want to put wifi in their apartments using a MiFi device or mobile phone.

They use the Vodafone network so the coverage will be similar.

I have seen the ads and presumed it was for Tablets

[KirstyJay]

No it's for mobiles too.

That's so strange as I googled it about 30 mins ago and got the site but can't get it now - as you say - just a link to here?

Lots of bars have free WiFi. Just frequent them.

Most of the bars/restaurants that have WiFi are quite happy to let you have there login details as long as you buy the odd beer or cup of coffee.
I find it hard to accept the people who buy one small beer and sit there for hours with their laptop.:mad:

Free WIFI if you buy a drink - another oxymoron ? Forget it - not quite just checked the definition ! Not quite with it today, had a tooth out and cant have a drink tonight !
