Greek prepaid SIM card
Since 2010, prepaid internet SIM cards are offered in Greece. They can be used in mobile phones or surf sticks for notebooks or mini routers. Experience has shown that good and reliable services are offered by Cosmote, the largest Greek phone company and by Vodafone. Mobile stores can be found in larger towns on Rhodes. Buy a Greek prepaid SIM card and the appropriate data package. You will get Internet access for the desired period of time (e.g. 15 days). Also, the maximum amount of data is limited. You will get about 10 GB for 10 EUR. The safest way is to take your mobile / notebook to the mobile shop for setup. Sometimes the installation instructions are available in Greek only. For the purchase of SIM cards, it is necessary to bring your passport / identity card. The offers of Cosmote can be found on this website, Vodafone offers can be found here.
