Globalgig - Worth a try?
 

I've come across this...

Globalgig

Seems to offer mobile broadband across most of the western world for £21/month on 12 month contract.

Gonna give it a go when I travel to Italy in august and will report back. Hoping it spits out new IPs every time it connects like the Huawei mobile broadband hardware so I can run multiple accounts while i'm away.

Looks nice - always worth exploring to see if it fits the role needed :) best of luck

Looks like a very interesting service

Cheers, I'll post back. I used a digimobil sim I bought on fleabay in Spain and I had no problems using 4 less-than-a-month-old accounts, including listing and withdrawals do I'm hopeful.

Impressed so far....
Ordered on Monday, arrived Today. Paid £21 (first month) upfront and no delivery or anything for the MiFi unit. Activated today, said there was a technical error so emailed in. Got an email 5 mins later apologising and telling me it would be activated within 4 hours. Took less than an hour.

It uses Three in the UK and does spit out a new IP every time it connects. I know it uses Optus in Oz and Sprint in the US.

I'm pretty excited about it - I've had headaches before on hols, especially using multiple accounts. Lost 2 accounts (well, the damage was done) when I was away for a week in March.

It remains to be seen what happens abroad though, so I'm not dancing yet. Will report back to this thread when I do try it out.

In the meantime, its good for using in the UK. I still get 1GB which is more than enough for a few listings and paypal account access per month. I don't do anything on a huge scale so its perfect for me.

Will you run into problems if you access your accounts from IP addresses located in different countries?

Like I said earlier, I used a digicom sim in Spain including listing and withdrawing and the accounts are still going strong. This was in May so i don't know if it'll last - hopeful though. I guess eBay and PayPal know people go on holiday. If it's <three weeks ish I guess it's reasonable to assume people are on hols. If I moved permenently to a Nigerian IP address it'd be curtains before morning.
