- purchase cost up to 20E, with the start top-up ready to use for the /calls&data/ or /data only/;
- no need to activate the data transfer separately via web/phone;
- rates up to 10cents/1MB, less the better ,or the preactivated data bulk available;
- daily data rates less preffered, cause I suppose may be difficult to activate;
- no need to fix it much with the residential proof, etc;
- also microSIM coming soon for iPad would be an advantage.


any idea which prepaid provider to choose for the mentioned or similar requirements ?


Thanks in advance! PM's also welcomed.

Looking into the same thing. Want to take my Android phone with me to Javea in August and not have to turn everything off such as email and navigation and a bit of browsing.
Favouring MasMovil as the coverage map has good coverage around Javea area.
Can you get MasMovil to deliver to the UK or would it be best to get one from ebay?
Also, do these sims expire as we go back to Javea quite often i.e. annually.

Guess my previous post got lost. I have a Movistar Tarjeta, which the salesman in the Movistar shop says cannot be upgraded with a Premium Internet package but can only do data on the 3 euro /day thing.
I want to pay 29 (incl. IVA) for a month of the Premium Plan for my iphone, but he says this is not possible and is only for people with a contract.

I need to know if this is nonsense or not and if there exist prepaid Internet plans; just throwing 3 euro a day at the problem is not my idea of a solution.
Plus, the speed is only 1mbit down if I underatnd him correctly.

Can anyone shed a light on this ?

thanx !

- also microSIM for iPad would be an advantage.

You seem to be OK with posting now, judging by your 2 posts. Can you not just repost the other that is missing?

[lios727]

OK, both attempts seem to be there now, guess they got stuck somewhere . Can anyone shed any light on the movistar matter ?

[lios727]

by accident, so I guess I'm screwed Can't even topup the thing via their internet site Ok, this will have to solve itself, off to the supermarket for vouchers.
Is there an agressive player in the spanish market who wants the tourist business and has the resources to deal with that ?

There are quite a few aggressive players but I am not sure if any really have the resources for the tourist market. I think masMovil with their English and German websites and a few multilingual customer service agents seem to be the most promising. Yoigo also have a few multi-lingual staff! To be honest, generally speaking, the rather large tourist business is catered to embarrassingly poorly out here!

is there a way we can speak non-publicly ? masmovil seems to be down all the time, at least from here . I would like to see if a business can be created
