Can anyone recommend which ISP in Menorca can offer internet which can be used When I’m here and switched off when I’m away?   (Not Telephonica)

Thanks

Hi,

We are in Binibeca and use Infotelecom. They offer a deal with 6 months on and 6 months off, in the off period you pay about 5 Euro per month to keep the line. Their details are below, they have offices in MahonDiana Onieva Administración y gestión [email protected] 971383000 / 971353881

Update to this subject. I solved the temporary access matter by buying from Amazon a Huawai mobile internet dongle £40 and a Vodafone data sim.  15 gigabytes for £25. amazon   Again.

 I was paying Euro 90/ month for Telephonica internet service.. IT was fine but I only used if for about 6 weeks a year.  Vodafone works fine in Son Remei. You are supposed to register the sim with Vodafone when you want to add more Gbts , but I found it impossible to contact an actual person to do that, you just get their bot. Back in uk I will try to find out  how much I used and if necessary top up. However Vodafone top ups cost £10 for 2 Gigs , so it will be cheaper to shop around. Maybe just buy another 15 gbt sim. The Huawei device takes any isp suppliers Sim so long as it is unlocked.   Problem solved. Subject closed. Bob t

Glad to hear you’ve resolved the matter but thinking ahead, if you’re using an English SIM, don’t you need to check if data roaming will be the same after the end of the year, just a thought or whether you might be better off with a Spanish SIM. It depends how long you spend out of the UK I suppose.
