Evaluate your needs and decide if a SIM card is the best option for you and get ready to enjoy all that Spain has to offer!
DO I NEED A SIM CARD?
The short answer is: it depends on your needs! Here are some recommendations to help you make the best decision for your traveller profile:
Tourists using public Wi-Fi: If your plan is to visit tourist sites where there is free Wi-Fi (such as cafes, hotels and squares), you may not need a SIM card. However, be aware that the connection may be limited and not always secure.
Frequent travellers: If you plan to move around a lot and need to be in constant contact, a local SIM card is an excellent option. It will give you access to the internet at all times, allowing you to explore without worry.
Extended stay: If you are travelling for more than a week, consider purchasing a SIM card. There are several options on the market that offer unlimited data or budget packages to suit your needs.
HOW TO GET A SIM CARD?
Airport: Many phone companies offer SIM cards at airports, allowing you to connect as soon as you arrive.
Phone shops: In the main cities, you will find shops of operators such as Movistar, Vodafone and Orange, where you can buy a SIM card quickly and easily.
Requirements: Generally, you will need to present an identification document (passport) to purchase a SIM.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Check your phone's compatibility: Make sure your device is compatible with Spanish networks.
Activation: Once you have your SIM, follow the instructions to activate it. This is usually a simple and quick process.
Data plan: Compare different plans and choose the one that best suits your needs.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Mobile payments: Don't forget that many establishments accept mobile payments through apps such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. If your card is linked to one of these apps, it will be even easier to make your purchases.
Beware of Fraud: Always keep your card in sight during transactions and check your statements periodically for any unauthorised transactions.
