Mobile phones and internet

Hi

I have heard that it is cheaper to buy a cypriot sim card to use in my mobile whilst in Cyprus - is this true?

I am also interested to know if you can get mobile broadband on a pay as you go deal.

Thanks

Hi Jules

Yes it is cheaper to buy a Sim then use your english sim, not sure about the broadband

Hi Kev

Thanks for you reply, another couple of questions though!!

Is there a one particular sim card that you would recommend and where do i get it from?

Thanks Jules

Hi Jules

Most common one is SoEasy and the other is Arriba, I think Arriba is a bit cheaper

You can get them in any Kiosk in €5, 10 and €20

Areeba is now MTN so don%26#39;t get confused if you can%26#39;t find it!

Just come back from Paphos and free wifi was everywhere. Almost every bar/cafe had it and you could even pick it up away from these places (we saw people sitting in bus stops using their laptops). Remember, wifi isn%26#39;t usually constrained by walls so if next door has free wifi, you can probably pick it up too.

Don%26#39;t forget you will need to take an unlocked phone with you. We have had our Cyta soeasy sim for several years now, you get a year to top it up or it expires, and then you would need to buy a new sim. We bought ours from a very helpful shop in Paphos called Hadjimitsis.
