We use a VIP data-only SIM for internet access at our apartment in Pula. HT couldn't(!) install a landline, and in any case 3G/4G PAYG works better as we aren't there very often. We have a home-built wireless router running IPFire on an old laptop with the SIM in a USB dongle.

Previously the only tariff was 10kn. per day for up to 1GB. This year my wife and daughter were told that they now got 5GB for 10kn. - not a choice of tariff, just that the data-only package had been improved. However they are still getting throttled at 1GB and the VIP webpage says this is the tariff limit. She was directed to call the VIP technical dept. who told her that we could get 5GB for 20kn. per day, but that she had to text a specific code each day to activate this. However when she tried she got a reply saying that option was only available to "broadband" customers.

None of what she has been told corresponds to the plans listed above, apart from "Dnevna opcija" which is what we appear to be on. "Tjedna opcija" offers 5GB, but if that is for 7 days then once you have reached the limit you would have to wait until the next week (instead of next day) to remove throttling. Also not clear how you could text a code through the data-only SIM since it is in a router rather than a mobitel. My wife is Croatian, and she is unable to get any sense from the VIP people either in the shop or on the phone.

Interested to hear from others on this.
