New to the Forum so please excuse me if this has been aired before...

Does anyone know if there are any free wi-fi hotspots in the 66 please?

Thank you

In Laroque, you can use the Wi-Fi in the Cafe des Artistes. You'll need to load their code but it's free. Certainly you would be pleased to use a coffee or beer for the service. Plus, you can have a nice meal on their terrace.

The sola wifi has been playing up a lot lately for some laptops so sometimes you have to wait in the queue to use one of the two connections to the modem.

Welcome.

Hi found this http://v4.jiwire.com/hot-spot-directory ... vider_id=0 was helpful the last time I was in France, although my campsite has a wifi system that I can use but it can be helpful offsite also. Off topic - I wonder if anyone could suggest a reasonable ready to go mobile sim to use for the summer, something we could pick up on again in october, christmas and easter without causing to much mayhem would be really helpful. Recession busters required due to massive Irish mobile bills when we get home

Thanks in advance.

Vodaphone Passport is a good one & now they are withdrawing their £0.75 connection charge, for the summer.

Thanks for that Sav - I was interested in a French sim pack really that can be used in my Irish sim free phone and which mobile service provider gives the best rates? The link you provided might be difficult to buy in Ireland - maybe in the North of Irl thou?

But does that apply to data connections too? I'm not sure.

Thanks everyone for their input.

I have seen some people at Carrefour cafe at Argeles using pcs - has anyone used Wi Fi there?

Thanks

There used to have Wi-Fi in the Crescendo restaurant at Carrefour. I haven't seen the wi-fi sign during the past year. Yet, you can walk across to the McDonalds and all you need it to buy a coffee. I've used the McDon. wi-fi direct from my car in the parking lot.

oiesauvage,

we use a tesco sim in our phone. i know it is English but the rate seems as good as any and there is no time limit.
this time limit was a real stumbling block with our French mobile since we are only infrequent users.
in the end we got Orange to unblock the phone and bought the Tesco simcard on line - £21 poundsworth of calls came with the simcard and it only cost £10.
Such a good deal that, when the credit ran out, we just ordered a new simcard.
call charges seem to be quite reasonable.
have a look at their website anyway.

free wi-fi at Cafe de France, Ceret.

Lots of bars providing ' free ' wifi , it's not really as you have to buy something , beer coffee etc , it's cheaper

La Noisette in Argeles Village (opp. the church). Does good English breakfasts too, if that takes your fancy.

Also La Tramotane, north beach in Argeles has free wifi if you buy a drink but it's time limited.

For the record I used the free Wi Fi in Crescendo last week although the McDo set up is better.

Thanks again for all who contributed
