Prepaid DATA in Spain

UKKate · 04-03-2017, 09:15

Hi there. I'm new to the site and hoping someone can give me some up to date information please.
My family has an apartment in Spain and we visit a few times a year for between a few days and up to three weeks at a time. We have a mobile router permanently there. We're looking for a data only sim card that allows video streaming (a lot seem not to), that we can top up when we need.
Currently we go to the local locatorio and buy a prepaid card by Spotfav, usually 10GB costs us €39 and is valid for up to 28 days. This is usually enough for a three week holiday, with the whole family online.
Does anyone know a better solution please?

I've had great luck with Tuenti the last few times I've been to Spain. I haven't tried video streaming but I think the chances of it working on that network are excellent.

Does Vodafone ES offer any kind of roaming option for data?

I'm going for 10 days in Spain and a couple of days at the end in France.

I thought Vodafone in other countries offered this as an add on or something for their prepaid products.

As far as I know there is still no free roaming included on spanish prepaid offers.

You might try Simyo.es which gives 10GB @ €30 for max. 30 days. One can buy a new data pack (same or different size) as soon as the previous one is completelly used before 30 days are over.

As far as I know simyo allows streaming and connection sharing. The coverage is Orange, the same as Spotfav. Simyo SIMs are a bit more difficult to find. They are often available in the big Carrefour markets or some smaller phone shops. Here is a list of some shops (there are more) where normally you should be able to find a simyo prepaid SIM:

Wow those are great deals. Mundo SIM gets your full 4G/LTE?

Hopefully the other carriers improve their offerings.

Yes, Mundo is full 4G/LTE, like Simyo Tuenti and Vodafone yu.

There are many other good prepaid offers in Spain, like 5GB / 10€ or 10GB / 20€. Read after "Mejor tarifa de tarjeta prepago" on the following page:
