Spain eSIM: Travel Data Plans

Description

Our Spain eSIM gives you data in Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Benidorm and the Balearics without your UK network’s daily EU roaming fee. Since Brexit many UK networks charge a fee for each day you use your phone in Europe, which adds up on a two-week holiday. A Spain data plan often costs less than three days of that fee.

Spain eSIM plans and prices

Card and PayPal payments add a small fee shown at checkout. Bank transfer has no fee.

Which Spain eSIM plan should I choose?

For a long weekend, the 1 GB 7-day plan is usually enough. A week by the pool with maps, WhatsApp and photos: 3 GB to 5 GB. Two weeks or heavy use: 10 GB or 20 GB. Staying all winter? The 50 GB 90-day plan is excellent value.

Unlimited plans may slow down after heavy daily use under the local network’s fair-use rules. If you need to share your phone’s internet (hotspot), message us before you buy.

Who is this Spain eSIM for?

• Beach holidays on the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca or the Balearics
• City breaks in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville or Valencia
• Long winter stays in Spain
• Anyone whose UK network charges a daily EU roaming fee

Spain, the islands and EU roaming

• Check your UK plan before you go: many now add a daily charge for roaming in the EU. Our eSIM avoids that for data.
• The Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria) are part of Spain but are often treated separately by mobile plans. If you are going to the Canaries, message us before you buy and we will confirm the right plan.
• The Balearics (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca) are covered like the mainland.

How to set up your Spain eSIM

1. Check your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Not sure? Read our guide to unlocking your phone.
2. Choose your Spain plan above and pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer.
3. We email your QR code by hand, 10am to 8pm, every day.
4. At home on Wi-Fi, scan it in Settings (Mobile Data or SIM manager, then Add eSIM). When you land in Spain, switch that line on and turn on data roaming for the eSIM only.

Before you travel, it is worth reading the GOV.UK travel advice for Spain.

Spain eSIM questions

Does a Spain eSIM work in the Canary Islands?

The Canaries are often handled separately by mobile networks. Message us on WhatsApp before you buy and we will check the right plan for your island.

Is an eSIM cheaper than EU roaming for Spain?

Often, yes. If your UK network charges a daily roaming fee, our Spain plans usually cost less for anything longer than a few days.

When will I get my Spain eSIM QR code?

We email QR codes by hand during shop hours, 10am to 8pm, every day. Order at least a day before you fly, so you can install it at home on Wi-Fi.

Can I keep my UK number?

Yes, if your phone has dual SIM. Your UK SIM stays in for calls and texts (your UK network’s roaming rates apply to those), and the eSIM handles data. WhatsApp keeps your usual number.

Is my phone eSIM compatible?

Most recent phones are: iPhone 11 or newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer. The phone must also be unlocked. See Apple’s eSIM guide or Samsung’s eSIM guide, or ask us.
