“I noticed that the pay-as-you-go option does not appear in the plan listings on esimdb, which caught my attention a little. After actually using it, I personally feel this is the most convenient option.

Because it is fully usage based, you can keep using it seamlessly even when moving between countries, which is incredibly convenient. With cheaper flight tickets, long layovers at airports in China are common, and sometimes you may want to head into the city for a short while. In those situations, it feels a bit wasteful to purchase a one day plan or a large data package, so this option fits perfectly.

Airport WiFi is available, of course, but connections can be unstable, and SMS verification is sometimes required, which often makes it more troublesome than expected. That is why having the reassurance of being able to connect immediately on your own mobile line, even during immigration, feels very valuable.

Overseas roaming is also available with ahamo and Rakuten Mobile, but there are still countries that are not covered. Having this set up as a dual SIM feels like something that could really help in an emergency. I also appreciate that LINE and WhatsApp continue to work even after the main data allowance has been used up. It is a small detail, but genuinely useful.”

“Was on a cruise ship for these four countries (MSC world Europea). This plan has multiple network carriers per country so I was able to have coverage even while on the boat in the middle of the ocean because it was able to switch carriers so quickly. Plus I got the Europe + USA plan so I was able to use the remaining data at home instead of using my regular cellular plan.”

Spain Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Spain

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Spain, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Spain offers more than 220 travel eSIM providers and over 17, 700 prepaid data plans, providing a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Spain?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Spain. Earth Esim, ASIMGO, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, EtravelSIM, esimzon, SparkRoam, and Numero eSIM all include unlimited data options. Most of these plans allow tethering, but the network speeds may be throttled and are capped at a specific limit, ranging from 1 Mbps to 10 Mbps, with some plans stating a 5 Mbps cap. The validity of the plans varies from one to fifteen days, and the prices span from approximately $1.49 to $18.40 USD, giving travelers a range of choices depending on how long they need connectivity and how much they are willing to spend.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Spain?

Spain's mobile network infrastructure is primarily supported by the following major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Movistar: Operated by Telefónica, Movistar is one of Spain's most established telecommunications providers, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services.
Vodafone Spain: Part of the global Vodafone Group, Vodafone Spain provides advanced 4G and 5G services, with a strong presence in urban areas.
Orange España: A subsidiary of the multinational Orange Group, Orange España offers competitive pricing and comprehensive mobile services, including family packages.
MasOrange: Formed from the merger of Orange España and MásMóvil, MasOrange has become Spain's largest mobile operator, serving over 30 million customers.

In addition to these MNOs, Spain hosts numerous Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. Notable local MVNOs include Digi Mobil and Simyo. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Spain?

Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS service are available for Spain. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, EtravelSIM, Earth Esim, RedEx eSIM, Global Starlink and Roamify offer plans that include a mobile number and SMS capability, with some plans also allowing outbound voice calls.

The telephone number’s dialing code indicates whether the number is local or foreign. GlobaleSIM uses a +1 US/Canada code, offering inbound/outbound voice and inbound SMS. EtravelSIM uses a +44 UK code, providing inbound/outbound voice and inbound/outbound SMS. Earth Esim, RedEx eSIM and Global Starlink issue local Spanish numbers with a +34 code, each giving inbound/outbound voice and inbound SMS (RedEx eSIM also includes outbound SMS). Roamify delivers a +33 French code with inbound/outbound voice and inbound/outbound SMS. Travelers can choose from these options and should verify that local call and text coverage meets their needs before purchasing.
