Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Spain and switches if the signal is better on another one. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Visitors from the UK gain most from a plan here. Since Brexit, UK providers set their own charges for using your phone in the EU, and many add a daily fee. A SIM from an EU or EEA country usually roams in Spain at no extra cost under roam-like-at-home rules, so check your own allowance before you buy.

Signal is strong in the cities and along the Mediterranean coast. Inland, the long roads across Castile, Aragon and Extremadura and the passes of the Pyrenees and the Sierra Nevada can lose coverage between towns, so download an offline map before a road trip.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Spain eSIM questions

Does the plan work on the Canary and Balearic Islands?

They are part of Spain and are served by Spanish networks, so a Spain plan covers them. Signal is good in towns and resorts and thinner on high ground such as Mount Teide on Tenerife.

Will it work in Gibraltar or Andorra?

Not on a Spain plan. Gibraltar and Andorra are outside Spain and run their own mobile networks. If you are crossing over, check the coverage list on a Europe regional plan before you pay.

I have an EU SIM. Do I need an eSIM in Spain?

Often not. Roam-like-at-home rules let a SIM from the EU or EEA use its usual allowance in Spain, within your provider’s fair-use limits. An eSIM helps when that allowance runs short or when your SIM is from outside the EU.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Spain. Install it within 180 days of buying.
