Spain Yoigo - Can you buy a sim in shops....

[AndreA]

i bought one on Ebay 2 weeks ago. I used it in Alicante and Murcia... well a great experience for data service (it's a real flat for 1,20 € / day) but with a strange problem: for using it I had to change network on national roaming!!! On Xsfera 3G network data connections usually were down ... really strange. Anyway they have a crappy coverage and their 3G network is the smaller and worst one... great record for a 3G network

I dont know which network it uses when it's in my datacard, (comes up as yoigo). When in my phone it seems to use XFERA.

In the data card it shows that 3G exists, but wont let me select it - The offer is for GPRS only, and that's what you seem to get....... In the absence of anything else, (e.g. the old WIND roaming deal), it's a bargain if only visiting Spain for a short while.

Ok, anyway when I was in Murcia (downtown!) I had a lot of troubles with XSFERA/Yoigo 3G network... so many troubles that I used the manual selection to... Voda ES

You're right, but the offer of Yoigo doesn't seem to be only GPRS (that can be crazy, to offer a data option only in national roaming ):

Al navegar en España hasta 1MB pagas 0,0012 €/Kb + IVA y, a partir de 1MB, un precio máximo al día de 1,20 € + IVA. http://yoigo.es/tarifas/index.php

But maybe you're right, I never had a connection in 3G (using the right APN etc etc) but this is really strange. Any news from Spanish people?
