Greece

Basics
There are three physical network operators (MNOs) in Greece:  All three MNOs have closely attached MVNOs or subsidiaries that resell their offers: Frog Mobile on Cosmote, Tazamobile on Vodafone and Q on Wind. Other MVNOs like Cyta focus on the triple-play market and started to sell SIM cards too.
 * Cosmote
 * Vodafone
 * Wind

2G/GSM is on 900 and 1800 MHz, 3G mainly on 2100 MHz and some 900 MHz. 4G/LTE has started on 1800 MHz and is now on 800 MHz and 2600 MHz too on all three operators.

Cosmote has the best coverage and the best speed, while Wind has the cheapest prices at the lowest coverage nationwide, Vodafone is in between.

Availability You can buy a SIM card in an official branded shop of the operator and from distributor points. As of June 2017, Wind SIM cards are available in the departures lounge (not arrivals) of Athens International Airport in the Public Connect shop if you are making a connection in Athens. The Germanos store selling Cosmote SIM cards has closed.

In order to purchase the SIM card, you'll be asked for an ID card or a passport, as this is required by law since 2011. Children under the age of 18 can't activate a SIM card on their own.

Be aware, that many shops prefer to sell more expensive bundles (e.g. with mobile phones or with 3G USB modem sticks) pretending they ran out of stock of naked prepaid SIM cards. But where they sell bundles, they need to have SIM cards too.

With all the three MNO providers you have the choice between a call, text and data SIM card and a data-only SIM with lower data rates but no calls and SMS possible. Each MNO has its own MVNO which only sells one SIM card and doesn't need to be a better deal. MVNOs are harder to find, don't have sales points in the countryside and limited support only. Here is a survey of their products: Greece is part of the EU, where from June 2017 new international roaming rules are enforced. In most European countries you can now 'roam like at home' at domestic rates rather than excessive roaming rates.

Note that many neighbouring Balkan countries are excluded. Greek providers have generally implemented the principles without limitations, but block roaming on some plans. For specifics about the new regulation check the European Union chapter and every provider below.

Facebook Zero
All Greek operators offer Facebook Zero (website: 0.facebook.com) in its limited mobile Facebook browser version for free. Thus you can use Facebook Messenger through Zero for private messages without data consumption. You can stay connected and send personal messages to your friends. On Zero you can still post, like/dislike and comment, but you can not see or send any pics or videos. If you try to move beyond the free allowance, you will get a warning.

Cosmote
Cosmote is the national provider with the most subscribers and the best coverage in 2G, 3G and 4G. 2G/3G Cosmote Coverage.

4G/LTE was launched in 2012 and now covers 85% of population in 2016: 4G Cosmote Coverage. 4G/LTE is given out without surcharge to all customers including prepaid plans. In 2016 it was expanded to over 60 islands in the Saronic, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Ionian, Sporades, North and East Aegean and Crete. Also, most summer destinations in mainland Greece, including Halkidiki, Nafplio and Pelion are now covered by LTE speeds.

Availability
You can buy Cosmote prepaid packages in their official shops (preferred) or from street distributors. There is no place to buy the SIM card in the Athens airport, but their ads are hanging almost everywhere. No kiosks, no gadget shops, no distribution point - you will need to buy it in the city. Central office in Athens located near Syntagma square subway station. Distributors (usually working students) are also often noticed there.

You can also buy the SIM cards and connection kits (SIM card + cheap simple mobile phone or USB modem) in their "Germanos" gadget stores (stores locator). Germanos staff tend to speak English and the activation process is very simple and fast. Cosmote offices other than at Syntagma Square are mostly oriented to Greek customers and may require a new customer to execute a very involved bureaucratic process.

You will need your passport or ID card to activate their package. You should also sign the terms and conditions agreement. Some people report successful registration with driver license or student ID card. You can also try asking the distributor to sell the SIM card without showing your ID, but this is illegal according the law.

Cosmote offers 2 different prepaid packages - "Cosmokarta" and "What's Up". Both tariff lines have different combined packages, but the same data-only bundles. You can change between the two plans by texting 'ALPAK' to 1314. The first change is free. All subsequent changes cost 3 €. Cosmote outlets may also offer their prepaid Frog Mobile MVNO depending on what SIMs they have in stock.

Recharging, account management and expiration policy
You can top up your account online here using EU PayPal accounts, Visa/MasterCard EU-issued credit cards or now any card registered in the security program 3D Secured / Mastercard SecureCode / Verified by Visa.. Minimal recharge amount is 5 €. 12% state telecommunication tax is applied to all top-ups. So if you load 5 €, you'll actually get 4.86 € net worth.

When you recharge online for 30 €, you will get 3 € bonus.

Recharged credits are valid for 90 days (3 months) since last recharge. In summer 2018 Cosmote said it reduced the validity of prepaid recharges of less than 12 € to 2 months from 3 months from the renewal date. The change applies from 3 September for What's up, Cosmokart, Frog and 'Cosmote Mobile Internet with card' prepaid subscribers. If no renewal occurs within the 2-month period, any remaining amount after two months will be void. The validity period of the subscriber's remaining balance remains three months from the renewal date for renewals of 12 € or higher.

The mobile number and the SIM card is valid for 12 months (1 year) since last top-up. If you don't recharge for 13 months (12+1), your subscription terminates. To save your number it is enough to recharge for 5 € at least once per year.

You can also recharge in Cosmote offices and Germanos stores or buy the top-up voucher. You can also use Cosmote mobile applications (in Greek only, but shows the balance and remaining allowances quite straightforward without any registration):
 * To check the account balance, send SMS with ΥΡ to 1314,
 * To check the expiration date, send SMS with LIXI to 1314,
 * Generic Cosmote My Account application (can be used with any Cosmote prepaid package including What's Up)
 * What's Up branded application (less features, only prepaid-related options, very easy)

Cosmokarta
Their common prepaid SIMs for talk, text and data are called Cosmokarta.

Available for 5 EUR without credit in their Cosmote or Germanos stores. For a list click on Cosmote and Germanos shops here and know how your place and prefecture is written in Greek. You can also obtain a SIM card from specific kiosks and service stations, but this is not preferred.

4G/LTE is enabled by default, wherever there is coverage. Both combi micro/regular and nano SIM are sold.

What's up
Originally started as their youth line, but is open to everyone. New starter package costs 5 €. It can be empty (without any credits), but there is a promotion with 5 € preloaded. So you can pay only 5 € and get the SIM card with 5 € credits.

When you insert the new SIM card at the first time, it will ask for a PIN code printed on the SIM card plate.

Dial any number to activate your package. You can dial the free service number 1314 and listen to the greetings message. After this your line is activated.

Same packages can be added as for Cosmokarta.

Data feature packages
Default rate on both plans is the daily tariff of 1.01 € and a 20 MB maximum up to 3G speed. If used more, speed will be reduced. For daily use, better take their day pack of 60 MB at 1.01 € by calling 1330 for free. Both of these packs are for 24 hours and shut off data, when used up.

These data bundles can be booked both on Cosmokarta and What's up:
 * Giga Day: 1 GB for 24 hours: 1 €; activation: gigaday, speed: 3G
 * Giga Soukou (= weekend): 3 GB from Fri 6pm - Sun midnight: 2 €, activation: gigask, speed: 3G
 * Giga Week: 3 GB for 7 days: 4 €, activation: 3GB, speed: 3G

Other packages for domestic calls and SMS are offered: see here all the packs for Cosmokarta and here all the packs for What's up (in Greece only).
 * Internet Monthly Pass 60: 120 MB for 30 days: 3.02 €, up to 3G speed

Mobile Internet Prepaid
Their prepaid SIM for data-only has the following starter packs available: You can activate these packages called "Mobile Internet Prepaid" in up to 4G/LTE speeds for more data:
 * 20 € for COSMOTE SIM Pack includes SIM card only with 8 GB for 90 days.
 * 89 € for COSMOTE 4G Full Pack includes 4G USB Stick and SIM with 30 € credit
 * 99 € for COSMOTE 4G Full Pack includes 4G Pocket Wi-Fi and SIM with 50 GB for 6 months
 * 149 € for COSMOTE 4G Full Pack includes 4G Wi-Fi router and SIM with 50 GB for 12 months

Passes can be activated on their website only through connections using the Cosmote SIM, free of charge; their website may allow online payment for passes, but only one payment per day can be made.

Also seems like this card will not work anywhere outside of Greece (tried in Denmark), so "EU roaming" section doesn't apply to that package.

EU roaming
Starting in June 2017 Cosmote has implemented "roam like at home" principles for roaming all over the EU. You can use without extra charge the available MB of your tariff plan, only promotions are not eligible and streaming packages may be capped. If you don't have available MB from your tariff plan, you will be charged according to your domestic default rate.

Frog Mobile
Frog Mobile is a subsidiary or sub-brand of Cosmote on their network in 2G, 3G and some packages on 4G/LTE. In the beginning, Frog Mobile offered cheaper calling rates than other Cosmote prepaid offerings. Now there is very little difference between the calling rates of all 3 Cosmote prepaid offerings.

There are discounted or free offerings for Frog to Frog messaging and calling. If you know other Frog subscribers, that is a reason to ask for Frog Mobile SIM. Otherwise, main-line Cosmote offerings such as Cosmokarta and What's Up seem to be better supported than Frog.

Availability
Their starter called connection pack is sold for 5 € in kiosks and other outlets like Cosmote branded stores (for store locator see Cosmote above). It contains 5 € credit, but only 0.04 € are given out from the start. 1.24 € credit are awarded for the next 5 months provided if there is a top-up.

To activate your connection pack, you have to call any number. Once you dial it, you will hear a recorded message welcoming you to Frog mobile saying that your number has been activated.

Top-up vouchers for 5 € or 10 € are available at their oulets, Germanos and Cosmote stores. To top up, text "ANA <16-digit top-up code>" to 1298. Check credit by sending "YP" to 1298 free of charge.

As a gift for new subscribers 500 MB are given out for free for 6 months when to top-up 10 € or use at least 500 MB. This bonus can't be used for international roaming.

Expiry
The validity period of the cash balance is 60-90 days from the last recharge (see Cosmote above). If you spend longer without recharging, you lose any cash balance left on your account. The validity period of your connection is 12 months since the last renewal or the date of activation of the connection. If you spend 12 months without recharging, you cannot make and receive any phone calls. However, they offer you one additional month, in which you have the option to top-up your airtime and renew the validity period of your connection for 12 months. But if 13 months have passed without any recharge, your number is automatically deleted and thus your connection is deactivated.

Data rates
Default rate is the daily rate of 1.01 € per 24h day. After 20 MB the speed will be throttled.

These passes are sold: All social bundles mentioned under Cosmote can be added too.
 * 120 MB for 30 days: 3.02 €
 * 700 MB for 30 days: 7 €
 * 1 GB for 24 hours: 1 €, activation: gigaday
 * 3 GB Friday 6pm-Sunday midnight: 2 €, activation: gigask
 * 3 GB for 7 days: 4 €, activation: 3GB
 * 2 GB for 25 days: 4.44 €, activation: 17317
 * 5 GB for 25 days: 8.50 €, activation: 14200

Packs can be activated by calling 1330 or sending code to 1330 for free. Activation of multiple packs per month is possible. Overuse is at the default rate.

EU roaming
From 2017 subscribers to Frog mobile can use all their allowances in the tariffs without surcharges within the EU countries except promotional packets.

The voice, text and data SIM are called Vodafone Prepay or Vodafone CU. The connection set for Prepay is 5 EUR. Getting the Vodafone CU set is recommended. But you can change both tariff lines once per month by calling 1266.

It is recommended to buy a SIM card directly from a Vodafone store and have it activated there: Store Locator in English. For this you need to know the prefecture. Although you can buy a prepaid SIM from specific kiosks, service stations or supermarkets, it's preferred to do it from a Vodafone store to avoid delays in the activation process of your SIM. A SIM activated from a Vodafone store will be instantly activated.

Recharge vouchers are available for 10, 15, 20 and 30 EUR, and can be obtained from kiosks, service stations and super markets. You can also top-up your account online, with credit card or Paypal. A 12% tax applies. If you load 5 EUR, you'll get 4.86 EUR worth of balance. To check your balance, make a free call to 1252, change language, then option 1 from top menu. There doesn't seem to be an SMS or USSD option for checking balance.

All new connections of Vodafone Prepay, will be by default registered to the auto activation service of a bundle of 250 domestic minutes and 500 MB for 8.50 EUR. With the auto activation service every time you top up €10 or more, the bundle of 250 minutes to all and 500 MB for 1 month will be automatically activated with an 8.5 € charge from your account.

The only add-on bundle for both plans is: It's intended for smartphones and can be purchased by an activation call from a Prepay Vodafone card. Other packages for voice, text or roaming are shown here for Vodafone Prepay.
 * Surf & Email: 700 MB for 30 days and 100 MB bonus for activation: 7 € - activation: 55

Vodafone CU
The connection set for Vodafone CU is free. Getting the Vodafone CU set is recommended. But you can change both tariff lines once per month by calling 1266.

All new connections of Vodafone CU, will be by default registered to the auto activation service of a bundle of 250 domestic minutes and 500 MB for 8.50 EUR.

For tourists and visitors Vodafone sells its new "international" SIM card. For a top-up of: You can change from CU or Prepay plans to this tariff line too. It contains heavily discounted international bundles for calls: 50-90 mins in 30 days to landlines and mobiles in the EU or 160 mins to the US for 5 EUR. For more data, you can add the Surf & Email bundle 100 (like on Prepay/CU shown above). All activations by calling 1252 free of charge.
 * 5 €: you'll get 500 MB and 300 mins to other Vodafone international numbers for 30 days as a bonus (meaning not debited from the topped up value).

Note, that on Vodafone International, international roaming is not possible.

KartoInternet (ΚαρτοInternet)
Vodafone offers a prepaid data-only SIM called KartoInternet on 2G and 3G at their stores (store locator) for data devices without voice or text.

The SIM starter pack includes 15 days and a maximum of 2 GB of internet. It supports VoIP like Skype, but cannot be used for phone calls, meaning there is only data in this offer. It can be ordered online for 20.16 € to be picked up at a Vodafone store. On location, they may charge you more.

The 30 minutes and 3 days packages can only be booked by SMS, all other packages by recharge vouchers too. Vodafone doesn't allow tethering on the iPad (throught Carrier settings), but it works with the same SIM card on iPhone (Carrier settings 14.0) as long as you specify the same APN for tethering and regular surf (APN: web.session). VoIP is not supported. Once connected, you can check your data balance here

EU roaming
Starting as of June 2017 prepaid customers can use their home bundles voice, SMS, MBs based on the charges of their tariff plan or any additional bundle, without any extra charge. Vodafone International plan is excluded.

Tazamobile
Tazamobile is a MVNO on Vodafone network in 2G and 3G. Be aware that the points of sale to get a SIM card are limited, as you can't obtain a SIM card directly from a Vodafone store.

Availability
Mostly the SIMs and top-up vouchers can be purchased at small kiosks that sell magazines and newspapers, found scattered around the city centers. But you can find actual Taza stores: store locator too, but they may be hard to find.

You'll get free 500 MB mobile internet and 100 local minutes upon the first top-up of the month for the first 6 months in selected shops and kiosks around Greece. Getting a Tazamobile top-up voucher is not difficult, because regular Vodafone top-up vouchers and e-top up work too on Taza. They give out 500 MB data bonus for the 1st top-up of the month of €10 or more. Top-up amount is valid for 90 days. Dial 1252 to check your credit and validity.

 * Tethering: on Android phone sharing internet through WiFi hotpots always works


 * APN: APN normally given is “internet.vodafone.gr”, but some reports suggest “webonly.vodafone.gr” will allow tethering off a smartphone to multiple devices. An earlier contribution suggested “webcarta.vodafone.gr” does the same thing. In both cases username and password are left empty.

WIND


Wind is the smallest network provider in Greece, but can give good speeds where available at low rates: Wind 3G Coverage Map. In 2015 4G/LTE started in major parts of Athens and Thessaloniki. It is now available in other parts of the country too: (4G Coverage Maps ). 4G is given out without surcharge to all customers, including prepaid plans.

F2G
F2G (for free to go) is the name of their prepaid talk, text and data line. The connection pack is free, but you have to buy a top-up card for 10, 15, 20 or 30 EUR. Wind gives high bonuses for online top-ups. They can be done by international credit cards and PayPal, if you have registered online before. For every 1st online top-up of 10 EUR or more per calendar month 1 GB of data is added for free.

So it's a better idea to buy the SIM card for 5 EUR including 0.55 EUR credit, 60 domestic mins, 50 domestic texts and 20 MB (valid for 30 days) but without top-up right from the start at their stores: Wind Store Locator. Default or above bundle rate is 1 EUR per 20 MB and day. Two different data packages can be booked on the F2G SIM:
 * Data #1: 1.2 GB for 30 days at 7 EUR
 * Data #2: 2 GB for 30 days at 8.50 EUR
 * Data #3: 6.5 GB for 30 days at 17.50 EUR
 * Data Weekend: 3 GB for Sat/Sun at 2 EUR
 * Data Nights: 10 GB (10pm-8am) for 30 nights at 5 EUR
 * Turbo Data: 500 MB for 1 days at 2.50 EUR

A data bundle can be activated up to 4 times in a month on www.f2g.gr or the F2G app. They also offer Blender with an allowance of 400 domestic mins, 100 dom. text and/or 1 GB data at 8.50 EUR valid for 30 days. You can mix all three consumptions, but the value of the others will decrease.

Data only-SIM
Wind also sells their prepaid data-only data-only SIM card called "SimpleFi on the go". The connection pack is sold at 18 EUR with a SIM and 3 GB data included for 90 days. Following top-ups are available: These SIM cards can be loaded with Wind top-up cards. To activate a pack, text the 16-digit number to 1268. To check data balance, text free SMS to 1228 with the word "balance". This SIM is for data-only and no SMS, but those two service numbers.
 * 1 GB for 30 days: 5 EUR
 * 5 GB for 30 days: 15 EUR
 * 6 GB for 90 days: 25 EUR

EU roaming
From 2017 WIND prepaid customers can use their minutes, texts and data in 39 destinations across the European Union without extra charges. This doesn't apply to their data-only "SimplFi on the go line" where EU roaming is blocked.

Q
Q is a subsidiary of Wind on their 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE network (for coverage see above). Unlike Cosmote and Vodafone, that have outsourced their sub-brands, Q is sold by Wind in most of their stores and integrated into their own product. They give the highest bonuses for top-ups and lowest rates in the country.

Availability
Q starter packs are available for free at some kiosks and most Wind branded stores (store locator) with a scratch card for the top-up value.

You need to register and top-up online using an international credit card or PayPal. They give out a 500 MB bonus for the registration every month (not accumulable). Only one of these additional bonuses are given out for top up of 10 EUR or more for the first top-up only per calendar month:
 * 1 GB and 1000 Q mins: for an online top-up by credit card or PayPal or for a top-up more made in a Wind store
 * 1000 Q mins: for a top-up using scratch cards

Data rates
For data, Q offers these packages with unlimited WhatsApp: Package is valid for 30 days and can be activated up to 4 times per month.
 * 1 GB per month: 4 EUR
 * 3 GB for the weekend (Sat/Sun): 3 EUR
 * 10 GB for 30 nights (10op-8am): 5 EUR

Thus, combining top-up and online bonuses with a data package, very good rates for data can be achieved. Default rate outside packages and bonuses is 1.01 EUR per 20 MB.

EU roaming
From 2017 all Q customers can use their allowances across the European Union without extra charges.

The MiFi rental service offered on a daily basis, from 1 day to 180 days (6 months) and pricing is based on the total time of rental. A refundable deposit of 150 € is charged for the MiFi. The service time of their data-only SIM card is based on the same system.
