Spain: Buy the Best SIM Cards | 2024 Guide

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 (10.70USD) from Movistar, Orange, Vodafone & Yoigo. Orange also has two tourist SIM cards for 15 EUR (16.05 USD) and 25 EUR (26.75 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.

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)
• Digi Spain: N/A
• Lebara Spain: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR
• Llamaya: 0.01 EUR (but it has to be purchased with a plan)
• Lobster Spain: Free! But a plan purchase is required
• Lycamobile Spain: 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR
• MásMóvil Spain: 0.01 EUR (but it has to be purchased with a plan)
• Simyo Spain: Free! But a plan purchase is required

The following mobile operators also have SIM cards targeting tourists:

• Orange Spain: 15 EUR (Holiday Pass 5) & 25 EUR (Holiday Pass 15)

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).

However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.

The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Spain.

But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.

Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).

So here are the 15 best eSIMs for Spain:

• Spanish mobile operators (three offer eSIMs to prepaid customers – read more in my Spain SIM card buying guide)
• Airalo Spain eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
• Alosim Spain eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with a bit more options – use code PTW for 5% off)
• Holafly Spain eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (unlimited data eSIMs)+ ability to make and receive calls (new) – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
• Nomad Spain eSIM with ten choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money… too – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)
• Airalo Eurolink eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money for 39 European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
• Alosim Europe eSIM with five choices between 1 GB and 10 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with worse coverage)
• Holafly Europe eSIM with 5G NR access in Spain with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (unlimited data eSIMs for 33 European countries) + ability to make and receive calls (new)
• Nomad Europe eSIM with 11 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance for 35 European countries)
• SimOptions Europe eSIMs with seven choices between 8 GB and 24 GB (choice from multiple mobile operators + calling & texting options (the only one in this list))
• Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global) with 12 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (extensive global coverage (130+ countries) at attractive prices) + ability to make and receive calls & send and receive SMS (new) – read my ongoing Airalo Discover(+) (Global) eSIM review too!
• AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM through SimOptions with 5G NR access in Spain with one 6 GB option (eSIM with the most 5G NR supported countries (53/143) at a reasonable price but with a short validity)
• Nomad Global eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (extensive global coverage (109 or 139 countries) at high(er) prices – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)

Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Spain, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).

If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Spain, you better check out my Spain eSIM buying guide.

It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

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 = 1.05 USD
• 10 EUR = 10.70 USD
• 100 EUR = 107 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:

• Background information
• Mobile coverage
• SIM card types, prices & availability
• Recharge/top-up information
• Combo plans, data plans & special packs (such as social media packs)

With that being said, let’s see what Spain has to offer to us.

Movistar Spain (Movistar España)

Movistar Spain (Movistar España), just Movistar, is the largest mobile operator in Spain.

Movistar, by Telefónica Móvil, used to be a state-owned telecommunications operator, but it has retained its #1 position.

SIM Card Price – Movistar Spain

You can get a Movistar SIM card for 10 EUR with 10 EUR credit or 25 EUR with 25 GB of data and 150 local minutes in Movistar stores. Movistar 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.

While Movistar does have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers.

You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Spain, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Movistar.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).

In my Spain eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

• Airalo: Guay Mobile (Spain only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Spain, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

Once again, check out my Spain eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

For now, I will continue with Movistar.

Note that Movistar offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.

Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

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.

Especially when getting a Europe-wide eSIM if you do not stay in just Spain or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.

My Spain eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

Here is a quick introduction to them:

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 😳.

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 😔.

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

You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Spain because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Vodafone.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.

I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Spain in my Spain eSIM buying guide, which are:

• Airalo: Guay Mobile (Spain only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Spain & Europe (32 countries) & – unlimited data eSIMs which allow for (limited) calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Spain, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

As I said, check out my Spain eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with Vodafone for now.

Note that Vodafone offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings but no VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

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.

However, it has always remained the cheapest of the Big Four (Yoigo has only 1 million customers less than Vodafone Spain and about 1.5 million less than Orange Spain).

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)
• VoLTE: Yes
• VoWiFi: No

This is what you will learn about Yoigo:

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

Coverage – Yoigo

Yoigo has the worst coverage in Spain.

However, it does have cellular reception in most places throughout the country.

Below, you have the coverage maps of Yoigo in mainland Spain + 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 produced by Speedtest:

Below are the coverage maps of Yoigo of Cueta (south of Gibraltar and north of Morocco) and of Melilla (north/northeast of Morocco) produced by Speedtest:

However, click here to see Yoigo's official coverage map.

SIM Card Price – Yoigo

You can get a Yoigo SIM card for 0.01 EUR in Yoigo stores, but you always have to purchase it with a plan (between 9.90 EUR and 35 EUR). Yoigo 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.

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

You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Spain, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Yoigo.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).

In my Spain eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

• Airalo: Guay Mobile (Spain only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Spain, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

Once again, check out my Spain eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

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

* 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.

You may want to get a travel eSIM for Spain, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Lobster (in some cases).

Especially when getting a Europe-wide eSIM if you do not stay in just Spain or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.

Lycamobile Spain (España)

Lycamobile Spain (España), just Lycamobile, is a MásMóvil (Yoigo) MVNO.

Lycamobile, as a brand, is known for offering low rates for international calls abroad, and it is active in various other European countries, Australia, South Africa, Tunisia, Uganda & the United States.

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

This is what you will learn about Lycamobile:

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

Coverage – Lycamobile Spain

Lycamobile is a MásMóvil (Yoigo) MVNO, meaning Lycamobile uses the Yoigo network.

To find out what to expect in terms of coverage with Lycamobile, jump to the Yoigo Coverage section.

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

SIM Card Price – Lycamobile Spain

You can get a Lycamobile SIM card for 5 EUR, 10 EUR, 15 EUR, or 20 EUR with the same value in credit or with a plan from Lycamobile resellers, including grocery stores, gas stations & electronic shops.

The following four Lycamobile starter packs are available:

Price	Credit
5 EUR	5 EUR
10 EUR	10 EUR
15 EUR	15 EUR
20 EUR	20 EUR

You will also find SIM cards for the same prices with a plan instead of credit (although you can use your starter credit to purchase a plan too).

Lycamobile has no eSIMs.

You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Spain because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Lycamobile.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.

I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Spain in my Spain eSIM buying guide, which are:

• Airalo: Guay Mobile (Spain only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Spain & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)

• Nomad: Spain, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

MásMóvil Spain (España), just MásMóvil and not to be confused with +(Más)Móvil by Cable & Wireless Panama, owns most Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Spain.

To learn about MásMóvil’s frequencies, jump back to Yoigo’s frequencies (but you will not have 5G NR access for some reason).
