Staying connected in Spain

A trip to Spain often pairs Madrid or Barcelona with the Andalusian coast or the islands. Install a travel eSIM at home and switch it on when you land. AirOva sells Spain plans from $1.49: fixed GB, unlimited data and a data + calls option, on Orange, Movistar and Vodafone, with 4G and 5G where available; each plan card lists its network.

Which Spain plan to choose

GB plans suit most trips, since maps, messaging and ticket apps take little data. Unlimited plans give unlimited data with no data cap and no fair-usage limit, priced by the number of days, which suits remote work and long stays. The data + calls option adds call minutes to mobile data. GB and unlimited plans are data only, and no plan includes a local phone number.

Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Digi

Spain has four mobile network operators: Movistar, run by Telefónica; Orange; Vodafone; and Digi. In March 2024 Orange Spain merged with MásMóvil to form MasOrange, the country's biggest mobile operator; Orange's network now includes the former Yoigo network. AirOva plans run on Orange, Movistar and Vodafone; Digi is not on our plans.

Arriving in Madrid, Barcelona, Palma or Málaga

Madrid-Barajas (MAD), Spain's busiest airport, is 13 km northeast of the Puerta del Sol. Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) lies 15 km southwest of the city centre, Palma de Mallorca (PMI) 8 km east of Palma, and Málaga (AGP), the main airport for the Costa del Sol, 8 km southwest of the city. After landing, turn off airplane mode, switch the eSIM line on, choose it for mobile data and enable Data Roaming for that line; the plan is prepaid, so roaming adds no charge.

Islands, trains and EU roaming

The Balearic and Canary Islands are part of Spain and of the EU, where the Canaries count as an outermost region. Spanish networks serve both: Movistar said in 2021 that its 5G already reached more than 85% of people there. Renfe's free PlayRenfe Wi-Fi runs on all AVE services and on Avlo. Across Spain, SIMs from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Moldova and Ukraine roam under Roam Like at Home; for other SIMs, including British ones, roaming depends on the operator. More in EU roaming rules explained.

Tip: install the eSIM over Wi-Fi a few days before you fly, save train tickets and boarding passes offline, and keep the home SIM in the phone for bank codes, with its roaming off unless it is from the EU.

Spain eSIM FAQ

Do I need an eSIM if my SIM is from the EU?
Maybe not. Spain is an EU member, so SIMs from the EU, the EEA, Moldova and Ukraine roam there under Roam Like at Home. An eSIM is most useful if your SIM is from elsewhere, for example the UK or the US, or if you want a fixed, prepaid data allowance for the trip. Spain plans start from $1.49. Check compatibility →
Is there coverage in the Canary and Balearic Islands?
Yes. Both island groups are part of Spain and are served by Spanish networks: Movistar, for example, said in 2021 that its 5G already reached more than 85% of people on both archipelagos. Each plan card shows which network your eSIM uses. Install guide → · QR code not working? 9 fixes
Does the eSIM work in the Madrid Metro?
Generally, yes. Orange and Vodafone both said in 2021 that their coverage reached the whole Madrid Metro network; each plan card shows which network your eSIM uses. Orange's 4G project covered 260 km of lines and 240 stations, but not the separate Metro Ligero light-rail lines.
Is there Wi-Fi on AVE trains?
Yes. Renfe's free PlayRenfe Wi-Fi is available on all AVE services, including AVE trains between Spain and France, on Avlo and on most long-distance trains. Your eSIM works alongside it wherever its network has signal along the line; download tickets and anything you want to watch before you board.
Will my phone work with a Spain eSIM?
Most phones from 2018+ support eSIM (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+) and must be carrier-unlocked. Check our compatibility page before buying.
How do I get my Spain eSIM?
Instantly. After payment a QR code appears on screen and is emailed to you. Scan it in your phone settings — you can install before you fly.
When does the plan start in Spain?
Validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Spain, so you can install it in advance and it won't start counting until you arrive.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts; the Spain eSIM is used only for data.
Does it support hotspot / tethering?
It depends on the plan and the local network: many plans allow it, but some local operators limit or block tethering, so we can't guarantee it on every plan. If you need hotspot, message support before you buy and we'll check your destination.
Which mobile networks does the Spain eSIM use?
Plans connect to Orange (5G), Movistar (5G), Vodafone (5G). Your phone picks an available network automatically; 4G/5G depends on local coverage.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Spain?
Yes. Unlimited plans for Spain have no data cap and no fair-usage limit: you only choose the number of days (1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30), from $3.99. They are in the “Unlimited” tab above.
Do any plans include calls?
Yes. Plans in the “With calls” tab include call minutes as well as mobile data. All other plans are data-only, and your home SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Plans with calls here: 30 days, 20 GB of data, Unlimited call minutes, 200 SMS — $29.49; 30 days, 50 GB of data, Unlimited call minutes, Unlimited SMS — $59.99; 30 days, 100 GB of data, Unlimited call minutes, Unlimited SMS — $73.49; 30 days, 200 GB of data, Unlimited call minutes, Unlimited SMS — $116.99; 90 days, 500 GB of data, Unlimited call minutes, Unlimited SMS — $248.99.
