Hi All

We are travelling down through France into Spain next week we haven't booked anything yet, so I was thinking of taking my laptop what is the best way to get reception on the internet? Is it best to use our mobile phones or buy a cheap mobile phone in France.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

The cheapest option will be to use campsite WiFi or McDonald's. Access through telephony is getting cheaper but still expensive compared to the alternatives. Can't see any sense in buying a mobile in France unless you are going for months at a time. It also seems that Mobile Broadband is much more expensive in France when compared to the UK. I can now use my Vodafone MBB dongle for £4.99 a day for 25mb download allowance, still not cheap but an an inprovement on the past.
