I'm using Carrefour Movil at the moment, but only the basic 100 Mb/day for €1 + IVA @ 18%. No issues with purchase, setting up or signal quality.

Speed drops to about 16 kbps the moment you hit the 100 Mb limit (no need to reconnect).

I've read elsewhere that there can be difficulties with the Orange network (which Carrefour uses) in some rural areas.

My only problem has been with topping up. Most other kiosks and supermarkets don't sell Carrefour Movil, I think Dia supermarkets do. Carrefour Movil online and the bank ATM network don't appear to allow overseas credit/debit cards (tried both several times, always failed). So my only option for topping up has been the Carrefour outlets themselves. But if you only need a once-off purchase for the whole trip you should be OK.

Don't forget to add 18% IVA to all prices quoted. The package costs €10 including IVA and which includes €5 credit. You get 10% discount in-store for any top-up of €20 or more.

Hope that helps. Have a good trip.
