Spain: 11 Best Prepaid SIM Cards Buying Guide (2023)

Spain – known for the Siesta, the Paella dish & beaches.

It is also a popular travel destination for partying youngsters from all over Europe (especially countries where it is much colder than Spain, like Western Europe and Northern Europe).

While France gets the most visitors in Europe (86 million before the pandemic), Spain is a close second (81 million before the pandemic).

But that is understandable because the country has a lot to offer.

Besides the beaches and thrilling nightlife, the Gaudí-designed buildings, like La Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, are stunning to look at.

The Mercado de la Boqueria market is a must-see too.

And let's not forget the many plazas and palaces, like Plaza de España and the Royal Palace of Madrid.

There is no reason to be bored in Spain. And if you are, shame on you 🤪.

Dealing with an expensive international roaming bill will certainly not be enjoyable because you forgot to turn off international roaming.

That feature can be expensive, which is why I always recommend getting local SIM cards, like a Spanish one, so that you can enjoy local rates.

Spanish SIM cards are not cheap, but the prices could be much worse.

You can get a Spanish SIM card for 10 EUR (10.60 USD) from Movistar, Orange, Vodafone & Yoigo. Orange also has two tourist SIM cards for 15 EUR (15.95 USD) and 25 EUR (26.55 USD). SIM cards are also sold at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN).

If you are flying into Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, click on the link above to read about the SIM card options at that airport to save some time.

Special note for those from Ukraine: be sure to ask about special benefits for Ukrainians. Many mobile operators around Europe have waived fees for you or introduced exclusive plans, including free calls back to Ukraine. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Yes, I know many Eastern European countries have much cheaper SIM cards.

Luckily, the cost of mobile data is low in Spain, which somewhat compensates for the higher-than-average SIM card prices.

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Spain. Let's do this.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Spain?

Anyone living in or visiting Spain can buy a Spanish SIM card from Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, Yoigo, Digi Mobil, Lebara, Llamaya, Lobster, Lycamobile, MásMóvil & Simyo with no restrictions.

You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Spain).

Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Spain?

You can get a Spanish SIM card in Movistar, Orange, Vodafone & Yoigo stores. Grocery stores also sell SIM cards (especially for the MVNOs). They are also available at several airports, including Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN).

If you are flying into Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, click on the link above to read about the SIM card options at that airport to save some time.

You can expect to pay the following for Spanish SIM cards:

• Movistar Spain: 10 EUR & 25 EUR
• Orange Spain: 10 EUR
• Vodafone Spain: 10 EUR, 15 EUR, 20 EUR, 30 EUR & 40 EUR
• Yoigo: 0.01 EUR (but it has to be purchased with a plan)
• Lebara Spain: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR
• Lycamobile Spain: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Spain?

Spain uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Spain. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Spain, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Spain.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Spain or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Spain (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Spain

Spain has four mobile operators and seven Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offering prepaid services easily accessible to tourists:

• Movistar Spain (España)
• Orange Spain (España)
• Vodafone Spain (España)
• Yoigo
• Digi Mobil Spain (España – Movistar Spain MVNO)
• Lebara Spain (España – Orange Spain & Yoigo/MásMóvil MVNO)
• Llamaya (Yoigo/MásMóvil MVNO)
• Lobster Spain (España Movistar Spain MVNO)
• Lycamobile Spain (España – Yoigo/MásMóvil MVNO)
• MásMóvil Spain (España – Yoigo/MásMóvil MVNO)
• Simyo Spain (España – Orange Spain MVNO)

The following frequencies are used in Spain:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 1800 MHz (n3), 2100 MHz (n1) & 3500 MHz-3700 MHz (n78)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Spain, check out this page by Will My Phone Work (may be outdated or inaccurate at times).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

VoLTE & VoWiFi in Spain

Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Spain. All Spanish mobile operators offer VoLTE, but not VoWiFi (this does not apply to the MVNOs).

This means that your phone does not have to downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Spain (unlike mobile operators that do not support VoLTE).

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE and VoWiFi in Spain:

• Movistar Spain
• Orange Spain

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE only in Spain:

• Vodafone Spain
• Yoigo

The following mobile operators do not offer VoLTE or VoWiFi in Spain:

• Lebara Spain
• Lycamobile Spain
• Digi Mobil Spain
• Lebara Spain
• Llamaya
• Lobster Spain
• Lycamobile Spain
• MásMóvil Spain
• Simyo Spain

VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.

5G NR in Spain

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Spain since December 2020. It is available on the Movistar, Orange, Vodafone & Yoigo networks. Movistar and Vodafone allow prepaid customers to use 5G NR. Orange and Yoigo do not. The MVNOs do not have 5G NR access yet.

Best SIM Card in Spain

Spanish SIM Card Reviews

When I revisited Spain, I tried out four Spanish SIM cards (again): Movistar Spain, Orange Spain, Vodafone Spain & Yoigo.

While I give my opinions and recommendations in this guide, I share my personal experiences in my reviews (else… they would not be reviews 🤪).

I recommend reading the reviews after deciding which Spanish SIM card will be the best for you, after reading more about the SIM card you are interested in, or after your personal comparison.

At the end of each SIM card section, I will remind you and link to the review of the said SIM card so that you can flow easily to the next part of your assessment.

Best eSIM in Spain

Orange, Vodafone & Yoigo offer eSIMs to prepaid customers.

Orange Spain offers eSIMs to prepaid customers if you get its Orange Holiday Pass tourist offering – not for its regular offering.

Note that the Spanish mobile operators require your identification (ID for EU/EEA travelers and passport for anyone else) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).

Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Spain without personal detail capturing, you can get the Spain (Guay Mobile) eSIM from Airalo.

You have these six options:

• Spain/Guay Mobile 1 GB eSIM for 7 days
• Spain/Guay Mobile 2 GB eSIM for 15 days
• Spain/Guay Mobile 3 GB eSIM for 30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
• Spain/Guay Mobile 5 GB eSIM for 30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
• Spain/Guay Mobile 10 GB eSIM for 30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
• Spain/Guay Mobile 20 GB eSIM for 30 days

The Airalo links will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.

While I did not use the Guay Mobile eSIM when I was in Spain recently, I did use the Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Spain (and ten other countries) instead.

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Spain review (tested in Barcelona and Madrid).

Or you can get Spain eSIMs from Nomad.

By the way, the 5 GB Nomad Spain eSIM for 30 days is the most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers, while the 3 GB for 30 days and 10 GB for 30 days variants are very popular.

Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps), such as getting 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off!

While I did not use the Nomad Spain eSIM when I was in Spain recently, I did use the Nomad Europe eSIM in Spain (and seven other countries) instead.

So you may want to consider the Nomad Europe eSIM if you plan on visiting Spain and at least one other European country.

• Check out my Nomad Europe eSIM in Spain review (tested in Barcelona and Madrid).

Finally, you can get Spain eSIMs from Holafly if you prefer unlimited data plans and do not mind paying a bit more for this advantage:

• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 5 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 10 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 15 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 20 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 30 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 60 days
• Spain unlimited data eSIM for 90 days

Use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for exclusive deals when getting Holafly eSIMs, AND get an additional 5% off!

For an in-depth analysis of the Holafly Spain eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Spain eSIMs Compared guide.

With these eSIMs, you can skip Spain's SIM card registration scheme entirely and use it immediately upon arriving in Spain!

TIP: check out my Best Spain eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparion of several eSIMs for Spain, including ones not mentioned above.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Eurolink eSIM (six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days) in Spain and these other countries:

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Spain review (tested in Barcelona and Madrid).

Holafly and Nomad also have eSIMs covering all of the European Union (and more).

But honestly, the Eurolink eSIM is superior (but you can consider the Holafly Europe eSIM if you want unlimited data in 30+ countries – just do not forget about code PHONETRAVELWIZ if you go with Holafly).

Or if costs are of significant concern, get the Nomad Europe eSIM, which is the cheapest for up to 10 GB of data.

Remember to use code ADU123 for 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off!

TIP: Check out my eSIM lookup tool for an overview of local mobile operators offering eSIMs to prepaid customers and travel eSIMs I use and love (for eSIMs in Spain and eSIMs worldwide) and my Best Spain eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Spain.

Best International/Travel SIM Card for Spain

If you want to buy the best international/travel SIM card for Spain, I recommend going with Simify‘s Europe SIM cards that covers Europe (mainly the European Union) and parts Asia, Central America, Oceania & South America – all in one SIM card.

You have these five options:

1. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 30 days (includes calls and SMS within the country you are in)
2. Explorer Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 365 days
3. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 40 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)
4. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 80 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)
5. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 140 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)

The Simify Europe SIM cards can be used in Spain and the following other countries:

SIM Card Registration in Spain

SIM card registration with your passport information is required in Spain. It will be done at the point of sale.

EU Roaming in Spain

Spain is part of the European Union (EU).

Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Spain.

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Spanish SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.

However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).

In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.

Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Spain or if restrictions apply.

Roaming in the EU with Spanish SIM Cards

Spain and the Spanish mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.

However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap.

Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.

If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply. You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.

Using Spanish SIM Cards in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Ceuta & Melilla

The Balearic Islands, often known as just Formentera, Ibiza, Mallorca & Menorca (on the east of Spain), the Canary Islands (often known as just Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote & Tenerife), Ceuta & Melilla are part of Spain.

While the Balearic Islands are just on the east of mainland Spain (southeast of Barcelona and east of Valencia) and are soldom mistaken for not being part of Spain – even though they are an autonomous community.

However, the Canary Islands are closer to Morocco (on the west), Mauritania & perhaps Senegal too than to Spain.

But these islands, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote & Tenerife, are also part of Spain, although they are also an autonomous community of the country.

Then we have Ceuta and Melilla. Both enclaves are not in mainland Spain. Instead, they are attached to Morocco.

Cueta is closer to Tangier than Málaga – one of the larger cities of Spain near the enclave.

The same counts for Melilla. It is easier to get to Nador, or Berkane or Oujda for that matter, than Alería or Málaga because there is a sea (Alboran Sea) between Melilla and the aforementioned cities.

Why do I mention all of this? Because even though these islands or enclaves may sometimes be forgotten to be part of Spain by some travelers, they may think they need other SIM cards for these islands or enclaves.

But that is, luckily, not the case. The Spanish mobile operators (Movistar Spain, Orange Spain, Vodafone Spain, Yoigo & the MVNOs) are active in Ceuta, Formentera, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Mallorca, Melilla, Menorca & Tenerife.

Meaning that if you bought your Spanish SIM card in mainland Spain, you could use them as if you were in Barcelona/Madrid – you will not be roaming on those islands or enclaves.

The same counts if you buy your SIM card in Ceuta and head to Barcelona later.

Note that the network performance on the Canary Islands, Ceuta & Melilla is worse compared to mainland Spain, but you should still be fine.

Spain Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Currency in Spain

Spain uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as just €. For example, 25 EUR = €25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):

• 1 EUR = 1.06 USD
• 10 EUR = 10.60 USD
• 100 EUR = 106.15 USD

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Spanish Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Movistar Spain, Orange Spain, Vodafone Spain, Yoigo, Digi Mobile Spain, Lebara Spain, Llamaya, Lobster Spain, Lycamobile Spain, MásMóvil Spain & Simyo, and go through:

My Review – Movistar Spain

I had the chance to try out Movistar (again) in March 2022.

While it is still the largest mobile operator, it actually does not offer anything special – especially compared to its competitors.

However, Movistar is always a safe bet if you plan on visiting rural Spain.

My Review – Orange Spain

I had the chance to try out Orange (again) in March 2022.

While it is not the largest mobile operator in Spain, it does have crazy-fast 4G/LTE speeds.

Moreover, its (tourist) offerings are competitive and attractive.

It may be my favorite Spanish SIM card 😳.

Vodafone Spain (Vodafone España)

Vodafone Spain (Vodafone España), just Vodafone, is the third-largest mobile operator in Spain.

However, it has the best 5G NR network performance.

Vodafone, as a company, is active in Africa (mostly as Vodacom), Asia, Europe, the Middle East & Oceania.

Vodafone uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 3700 MHz (n78)
• VoLTE: Yes
• VoWiFi: No

This is what you will learn about Vodafone:

* Coverage
* How to Get a Vodafone SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – Vodafone Spain

Vodafone has extensive coverage throughout Spain.

It also has the best 4G/LTE availability.

Below, you have the coverage maps of Vodafone in mainland Spain (on the left (desktop)/top (mobile)) + the Balearic Islands (consisting of Formentera, Ibiza, Mallorca & Menorca) and in the Canary Islands on the west of Morocco (consisting of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote & Tenerife – on the right (desktop)/bottom (mobile)) produced by Speedtest:

SIM Card Price – Vodafone Spain

You can get a Vodafone SIM card starting from 10 EUR to 40 EUR (with plans) in Vodafone stores. Vodafone SIM cards are also sold at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) at inflated prices if you do not pay attention.

If you are flying into Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, click on the link above to read about the SIM card options at that airport to save some time.

It is also possible to get a Vodafone eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.

However, it is unclear if eSIMs are available for prepaid customers too. I will ask Vodafone about this March (2022) when I revisit Spain 🇪🇸😎.

I asked – Vodafone eSIMs are only available to postpaid customers, unfortunately 😔.

Anoter update: Vodafone now does allow prepaid customers to use eSIMs 🥳.

Note that the Spanish mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and for physical SIM card.

Therefore, if you wish to use an eSIM without personal detail capturing, you can go with the Spain (Guay Mobile) eSIMs from Airalo (1 GB/7 days, 2 GB/15 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers 10 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers & 20 GB/30 days).

The Airalo links will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.

While I did not use the Guay Mobile eSIM when I was in Spain recently, but more than 300 Phone Travel Wiz readers have so far, I did use the Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Spain (and ten other countries) instead.

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Spain review (tested in Barcelona and Madrid).

Or get the Spain eSIMs from Nomad (from 1 GB/7 days to 10 GB/30 days).

The 5 GB Nomad Spain eSIM for 30 days is the most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers, while the 3 GB for 30 days and 10 GB for 30 days variants are very popular.

Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps) and get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off (even on top of current promotions)!

While I did not use the Nomad Spain eSIM when I was in Spain recently, I did use the Nomad Europe eSIM in Spain (and seven other countries) instead.

• Check out my Nomad Europe eSIM in Spain review (tested in Barcelona and Madrid).

If you prefer unlimited data plans instead, get one of the Spain eSIMs from Holafly (unlimited/5 days, unlimited/10 days, unlimited/15 days, unlimited/20 days, unlimited/30 days, unlimited/60 days & unlimited/90 days).

My Review – Vodafone Spain

I had the chance to try out Vodafone (again) in March 2022.

While it may not be the most popular Spanish SIM card at the moment, it does have a grat 5G NR network.

In fact, I managed to get the fastest 5G NR speed until then with Vodafone Spain 😳.

But then I went to Australia and got a download speed of 1000+ Mbps with Optus💀.

Yoigo

Yoigo is the smallest mobile operator in Spain.

It is also the newest mobile operator in the country, which entered the Spanish market in 2006.

Until this day, Yoigo still has to catch up with its competitors in terms of coverage and speeds.

Yoigo uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 1800 MHz
• 3G: 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2100 MHz (Band 1)
• 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)

Lobster Spain (España)

Lobster Spain (España), just Lobster but sometimes referred to as Lobster Mobile, is a Movistar Spain MVNO.

It targets British expats (not a term I like to use), and it provides support in English.

But does that mean tourists cannot get a Lobster SIM card? No (else it would not be included in this guide 😜).

To learn about Lobster’s frequencies, jump back to Movistar Spain’s frequencies (but you will not have 5G NR access).

This is what you will learn about Lobster:

* Coverage
* How to Get a Lobster SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – Lobster Spain

Lobster is a Movistar Spain MVNO, meaning Lobster uses the Movistar Spain network.

To find out what to expect in terms of coverage with Lobster, jump to the Movistar Spain Coverage section.

Note that you will not have 5G NR access with Lobster.

SIM Card Price – Lobster Spain

You can get a Lobster SIM card for free from Lobster resellers, but you always have to purchase it with a plan (between 10 EUR and 24 EUR). Lobster SIM cards are not sold at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD) or Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN).

If you are flying into Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport, click on the link above to read about the SIM card options at that airport to save some time.

Be aware that Lobster is not as accessible as most MVNOs mentioned in this guide.

For example, you cannot get a Lobster SIM card in Barcelona, in the north of Spain & in the west of Spain.

There is a single store in Madrid, Spain's capital mind you, selling Lobster SIM cards.

So… why did I bother including Lobster in this guide?

Because Lobster SIM cards are available in plenty of stores in the east, south & other touristy places (like Majorca, Palma de Mallorca & Tenerife).

As Lobster targets British expats (not a term I like to use), its resellers are at the locations where the expats are supposed to be (and there are plenty).

But does that mean tourists cannot get a Lobster SIM card? No (else it would not be included in this guide 😜).

Lobster has no eSIMs.

Note that the Spanish mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards.

Therefore, if you wish to use an eSIM without personal detail capturing, you can go with the Spain (Guay Mobile) eSIMs from Airalo (1 GB/7 days, 2 GB/15 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers 10 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers & 20 GB/30 days).
