If you are waiting for your Rabbit r1, you cannot forget to get it the best SIM card and data rate to get its maximum potential.
It's almost here - although there are actually more than 4 months left as of this writing - and since I am impatient, I have already started looking for the best data rates for my Rabbit r1 and make sure I get the most out of it.
We already know that It comes with 4G technology and also that even without having its own SIM card You will have the option of being able to connect via WiFi to any available network or even being able to use your cell phone as an anchor point to take advantage of our rate.
This second option, although it is useful, will mean an extra cost to our mobile phone's battery, and will also make us depend on our phone, which in many cases will not be optimal, since with Just carrying the Rabbit R1 would be enough.
That's why I've been diving into the different mobile phone companies to bring you theThe best data rates for the Rabbit r1 and thus grant it the independence and autonomy that I believe it deserves. Go for it.
What we look for in a data rate
The first question I asked myself was what are we looking for in the perfect data rate for the R1? since one rate is not the same as another and there are some differences between them that can end up making a difference, so let's see what is most important.
Amount of data
First of all the amount of data that it is going to provide us. There are some with more or less data, unlimited or even cumulative, which means that if you have leftover data from the previous month, you can use it the following month by adding it to that of the current month.
Coverage
It is important to know what coverage they are going to use if they are OMVs—virtual operators that use the network of larger companies—and If you are going to have good reception in your usual area of use signal. Check it carefully to have the best experience.
Price
What we are going to pay month by month is also a point to take into account. A cheaper rate is not the same as a more expensive one. taking into account that what we want will be exclusively data and not calls.
The best data rate for the Rabbit r1
Well let's go to nougat and let's see the best data rates I have found:
Digimobil
From 15GB for €5
As a DIGI customer, This was the first option that came to mind. In particular, I am quite happy with their mobile and fiber service, and that is why it is at the top of the list without having tried other options.
It's really not just data rate, but includes unlimited calls in all its options, and it also has the peculiarity that the gigabytes that you do not spend will accumulate for the following month, so with daily use you should not have any problems.
These are all the data options that DIGI has in its catalog. As you will see, there are different prices depending on whether you already have fiber or not, so We start from €5 to €20 that you will have if you hire UNLIMITED from their website.
Remind you that Digimobil It has its own coverage as well as that of Movistar, so it is possible that you have a network in the vast majority of places within large cities and remote places. In my case I have no problems.
Simyo
From 100MB for €1
With Simyo you will also be able to choose the amount of data you want to have, starting with 100MB —which, although cheap, seem quite few to me for the use that we are going to give to the Rabbit r1— up to 150GB which will cost €17.
It is true that it has quite a few options and a relatively good price, but there is something that I perhaps like less, which is that use Orange coverage, and in my case I have had an unsatisfactory experience with it. Assess your specific case.
Below I leave you the options you have to choose a data rate for the Rabbit r1 in Simyo.
You will be able to choose several options and remember Also evaluate the call option, since although we are not sure that R1 will be able to use them, it is possible that they will be incorporated in the future in an OTA update.
EITHER2
From 12GB for €7
And we arrive at one of the companies with the most competitive data rates, and we are going from 12GB of data for €7 to 150GB for €20 already including VAT, which would be more than enough for the use that we assume for the Rabbit r1.
O2 is a company that has a fairly good reputation, being linked to Movistar and therefore its own coverage, which will mean that you will have the best reception that we can currently get, which is appreciated.
This rate does not include permanence, registration fees or any other extra that we do not want, so it becomes a great option as a data rate for the Rabbit r1 complying with the points we mentioned at the beginning.
Lowi
From 12GB for €8
Lowi is the last one that I am going to evaluate as a data rate for the Rabbit r1. While it is true that there are more, I wanted to leave room for an MVNO with Vodafone coverage, to be able to choose between 4 viable connectivity options.
In this case, as I said, it has Vodafone coverage, perhaps more widespread than Orange and therefore with better options when using the r1 in more "remote" places or with a shorter range of telephone antennas.
For this option we start from the 12GB for €7.95 and we can go up to €19.95 for 150GB. In this case we can also accumulate the GB that we have left as well as share them with someone who has a rate of the same brand.
It is a great option for those of you who have good reception from Vodafone and have acquaintances who spend few gigabytes and want to share.
My choice for the Rabbit r1
In my case I am already a Digi customer, so the 100GB rate for €8 It adapts quite well to my needs, although today I completely do not know how much data the Rabbit r1 can use in normal use. We'll see in a few months...
