I bought a MasMovil SIM in Bilbao on 2nd September which I changed to automatic prepaid online to get the €14.90/Gb rate. My account pages dont show that I have bought this option (not that I can see anyway) but a phone call to the paid help line confirmed that the rate is active. I'm only using the SIM for data, no calls or text. Havent yet got to the point where it needs a recharge so have no experience yet of whether it will work.

As a side note, the SIM in the package didnt have the correct APN pre-set. It does need to be manually changed to 'internetmas' in whatever device you are using to access the interweb.
