Happy Movil

Hi

Am looking at getting a payg sim from happy movil. Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with these people. What are their call rates and coverage?

thanks in advance!!

Hi

I have had a Happy Movil sim for almost 2 years now & have had no problems whatsoever.

Call rates to UK landlines are something like 2 cents per minute. Text messages are pretty expensive so I tend to use my UK O2 bundle where 1 text costs me 4 from my monthly allowance.

It is really easy to top up as well, by using branches of La Caixa Bank. You just use there cash machines & follow the instructions (in English).

I have a happy movil and sim and see from their site that calls to uk landlines are 5c and mobiles 10c. seems reasonable for a mobile, but when i call it seems to be much more expensive, up to 30c / minute. anyone know what the hidden charges are? 

 Hi - i have found Lebara mobile in spain to be very good on price when calling the UK and also calls from Lebara to Lebara in spain are free..!   Great for all the family members.. 

Happy Móvil charges 5.8c per minute for calls to landlines in Western Europe, the US & Canada and Australia. Cell phone calls cost 20c per minute (5.8c to the US and Canada). Taxes are not included in the above cost and there's also a 30c connection charge . Receiving calls is free, no matter where the call comes from.

Why would you think that is a good deal? On VOIP and mobile VOIP calls are from free (first 90 days) to 1.5 cents per min to Europe and 1 cent. to USA landline and mobile. All the above are ex IVA or if in sterling they are in pence plus VAT.

Who said it was cheap? Someone asked what the rates were. Personally I use Skype on a monthly tariff.
