Tiekom have unfortunately stopped this service as of this month. We've been using it all over Europe for the past 8 months, but now back to buying local sims which is a real shame. We had an email from them saying that 300gb/month is only available within spain. Only 18GB in the rest of the EU. :(
Yes, it was working fine until a week ago, then we thought we were just in a patchy spot so we didn't notice. Tiekom didn't send us an email, such a shame, it really was lovely and stress free 😞
Hi - Interesting video, however I believe Tiekom have withdrawn the roaming on this SIM card - we used the Tiekom card for a couple of months and it was as you say brilliant, however Tiekom have now withdrawn the roaming option - shame as it was really good
Yes, we got back from Europe a week ago and it was still working, then we didn't really pay attention to our internet as the video came out... bad timing all around 😞
@@FreedomStrider yes it is expensive, but then again here (Netherlands) un unlimited data contract is somewhere between €45 - 50 euro with a data limit set to average 25 Gb across the border adding my mobile phone to it comes to nearly €70 euro per month. For myself I’ll take the hurtle of the initial costs and give it a try.
Costs across Europe are so different so people's budgets are as well. Your situation seems to make a jump into Starlink more worth it as your expenses seem high already, in this category. For us, personally, mobile internet has been no more than £25/m (before tiekom). Plus, we are waiting for Starlink to iron out its kinks before committing to it 😜
hey guys I'm planning on spending 3 months in Spain later this year and I want to get a Spanish sim so I can setup a virtual address any hassle free recommendations? 👍
We went with Yoigo when in Spain, they allowed us to use the address of the mobile shop and we got a 200gb/month SIM for 45EUR, took a bit of finagling to get working hit we got there in the end 👍
@@sethgold6950 the dish is 300 euro right now. Also RV version is 100 euro/month. At one point it was 80/month. The normal one is 65/month, i'm unsure if you can use the normal one on the camper, like if you go to another country etc.
@@A-Nobody Yes ,Starlink is expensive @ about $110.00 USD for 20-100 Mbps. The "plus side" is I project this cost will drop, speeds will increase and "Sim" plans will die out. The only issue is countries where sat phones are illegal . This link may prove interesting. th-cam.com/video/gRSnTMrUPrQ/w-d-xo.html
Aye it's an option but very expensive - but seems to be unlimited roaming data. It should be coming down in price which will make it more affordable to us all 🤞🤞🤞

I was just ready to send you a message confirming that the 300gb SIM works just in Spain 😅. You tried guys. Next test it for 3 months😂.
We had, nearly 4 months before making this video, and the week we release it, they chance the policy without emailing us! Typical!
@@FreedomStrider that is the spanish way 🤣 (coming from a Spaniard)

Like others have said, Tiekom have stopped it. We had to cancel ours after checking with their support.
Yes, we spoke to them too... bloody hell 😭... back to the drawing board
This is fantastic, will look at switching to these guys very soon. Thanks so much.
Awesome 😎

You have a pair of lovely looking…… cats… talking of which, where were they? :p
They were...around...somewhere! They're off in the day and our exploring, not talking about internet 🤣
Mtel Austria has 74GB European wide for 21€ on contract! Including some limited data for Serbia, mazedonia, Switzerland and turkey
Good to know ☺️
You can just use Ortel for germany. They have a 90GB option for 30€.
Thanks we'll look into it ☺️

Thank you for a veryinteresting video.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
What do you recommend for someone who uses 600-800 GB a month watching crunchy roll and working remotely?
I think you might be stuck with Starlink, unless you can negotiate a custom plan with a signal provider (though that would be very expensive still).
This is based on 4G I suppose? Also, if you count two other SIM cards for your phones I wonder if Starlink isn’t a better option?
Yes this is on 4G. Starling is the upcoming option, still very expensive for most but it's hopefully going to get cheaper 🤞

get yourself a starlink, there is no better. At the moment its £300 for the gear and the monthly cost varies but 200mbs min is brilliant
How much are the monthly cost ??
@@sethgold6950 oddly enough it’s £70 in uk and only 45 in France, work that one out😩
@@whereonearth1 Holly Molly cow 🐄, in Germany it’s 450€ for grid, 40€ delivery and 80€ monthly. That’s way to much.
Looking into it.

May be time to invest in Starlink?
Maybe, our options are thinning rapidly 😬
@@FreedomStrider
I'm only part time, for work, and as much as EM & his antics winds me up it is a serious, if expensive, option for uploading photos!
Hi Holand Is it works Many thanks
The Tiekom service has changed its policy and now it is no longer suitable for long-term, cross border travel 😭
It's only good for Spain
Many tanks take care👌🥷
What about Sky Link?
"Starlink". Definitely solve the problem of unlimited data but expensive approximately £130 per month
