Phone and internet in campo
Hi all, new to this forum so I apologise if this question has been asked more than once. We have just bought a property which doesn’t have a phone line or internet service. We don’t know how to get a line installed or even if we can get one as we don’t have a proper address (no post delivery) but are only five mins up in the hills above Estepona. Does anyone know How I go about finding out if a fixed line is available as I fear my Spanish is too limited to try and explain where we live to them. Is there a map of coverage I could find us on to see for myself like they do in the U.K. for mobile coverage?

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Do you get mobile phone signal? If you have a smart phone check the various suppliers by going to network services and see who has the strongest signal. If no fixed line available (FIJO) then you may have to use a 4G mobile service.Upthemountain wrote:Hi all, new to this forum so I apologise if this question has been asked more than once.

Movistar do an unlimited internet package using 4g/3g SIM based kit. Only for customers where there is no landline copper or fibre infrastructure. Do a search on Fusion radio internet.
Last time I looked the internet was 15 euros a month on offer, normal price 46 euros.
You have to have a landline with it that is fed out of the SIM wall mounted box. You can also have digital TV and a couple of mobiles as add on packages.
Enrique. I tried doing a Google search for other search engines. None came up. Are you sure?!

Re: Phone and internet in campo
Thank you. We have used our UK mobiles on 4G whilst there and got a phone signal through Orange I think but we are looking to change once there in a couple of weeks and want UK tv etc which think might be out of the question with 4G?
Re: Phone and internet in campo
4G or even 3G, should be more than adequate for UK tv via the internet provide you have a download speed of 4 Mbps or more.
