Which Spain eSIM Should I Choose?

Spain is the main destination and you want a Spanish number: Orange Spain eSIM

The Orange Spain eSIM is built around Spain itself. The entry plan is A$19.90 for 28 days and includes 80GB of data in Spain, 15GB of roaming data for the rest of the EU, a Spanish phone number and unlimited calls within Spain and the EU. Larger options give 260GB in Spain with 22.5GB of roaming (A$28.90) or 320GB with 30.1GB of roaming (A$36.90).

A holiday of up to 15 days with heavy data use: Orange Holiday Europe eSIM

For a one- or two-week trip, the Orange Holiday Europe eSIM is A$29.90 for 15 days. It is listed with unlimited data in Spain, 30GB of roaming data elsewhere in the EU, a Spanish number and 100 minutes of calls within the EU. For longer stays, you can buy two and choose a different activation date for each.

Data only, no passport upload: Europe & UK data eSIM

If all you need is maps, messaging and browsing, the Europe & UK data eSIM is the simplest plan to set up. There is no ID requirement, you can install it at home before you fly, and prices start at A$9.90 for 5GB over 7 days. A 10GB plan for 15 days is A$14.90 and 20GB for 30 days is A$29.90. It is a Three plan that connects to Orange in Spain, with no calls or phone number.

Spain plus the UK, Switzerland or Turkey: Vodafone eSIM

The two Orange Spain plans do not cover the UK or Switzerland. If your itinerary continues to London, Zurich or Istanbul, the Vodafone Europe & UK eSIM gives you a Spanish number and one data allowance for 37 countries: 26GB with 100 minutes of calls for A$47.90, or 40GB with 200 minutes for A$61.90, both for 28 days. For a French number with calls and texts instead, the Orange France eSIM starts at A$34.90 for 20GB over 30 days and also includes the UK and Switzerland.

Spain Network Coverage: Orange, Vodafone and Movistar

Spain has four national mobile networks: Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo. The Orange Spain eSIM and the Orange Holiday Europe eSIM are Orange Spain plans with a Spanish number. The Vodafone eSIM runs on the Vodafone network and also comes with a Spanish number. The Europe & UK data eSIM is a Three plan that connects to Orange in Spain, and the Orange France eSIM is a French Orange plan that roams in Spain. We do not currently list a Movistar or Yoigo plan.

In practice, both Orange and Vodafone offer 4G across Spanish cities and towns, with 5G in the larger centres such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Málaga and Bilbao. Metro stations in Madrid and Barcelona generally have coverage, though signal can drop briefly in tunnels. On high-speed AVE trains, expect good signal around towns and gaps in long tunnels and open countryside.

The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza) and the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote) are part of Spain and are served by the same Spanish networks. In mountain and rural areas such as the Pyrenees, the Picos de Europa and quieter stretches of the Camino de Santiago, coverage thins out between villages, so download offline maps first.

Travelling Beyond Spain?

Every plan on this page works across the European Union, so you can cross into Portugal, France or Italy and keep using the same eSIM. What differs is the roaming allowance and the non-EU countries. The Orange Spain eSIM has 15GB to 30.1GB of roaming data for the EU plus Gibraltar, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Norway and Ukraine. The Orange Holiday Europe eSIM has 30GB for the EU plus Gibraltar, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Neither includes the UK or Switzerland.

For the UK and Switzerland, choose the Vodafone eSIM, the Europe & UK data eSIM or the Orange France eSIM. The Vodafone plan also includes Turkey, Kosovo and Monaco.

How It Works

1. Buy online. Choose your plan and data size. The Europe & UK data eSIM and the Orange France eSIM are sent by email after purchase; orders placed after 1 AM AEST are sent from 9 AM AEST. The Orange Spain, Orange Holiday and Vodafone eSIMs need a passport for registration, so allow up to 24 hours for the email. The Vodafone eSIM also requires your arrival date.
2. Install on Wi-Fi. The Europe & UK data eSIM can be installed any time before your travel date, because it only starts on its first network connection in a covered country; it must be installed and used within 90 days of purchase. The Orange and Vodafone plans are designed to be installed on arrival, and the Orange France eSIM starts counting from the first scan of its QR code, so scan those only when you are ready.
3. Land and connect. Set the eSIM as your mobile data line, switch on data roaming for that line, and turn it off on your home SIM.

Step-by-step instructions are in our Orange Spain eSIM user guide and the Europe & UK data eSIM setup guide. Our Melbourne-based support team is available 16 hours a day by live chat and email.

Spain eSIM vs Roaming on Your Home Plan

Visitors whose home plan is from another EU country can usually use it in Spain under EU roaming rules. For everyone else, roaming is typically charged per day, often with a small data cap, so the cost grows with the length of the trip. A prepaid Spain eSIM is one upfront price for a set allowance and a set number of days, with nothing further to pay unless you choose to buy more.

You also keep your home SIM in the phone. Calls and bank verification codes still reach your usual number, while the eSIM handles data, and there is no phone shop to find on arrival.

Tips for Using an eSIM in Spain

• Check that your phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM before you buy. Our eSIM compatibility list covers the main iPhone, Samsung and Pixel models.
• Decide early whether you need a phone number. Many Spanish restaurants, small hotels and tour operators confirm bookings by phone or WhatsApp, which is the everyday messaging app in Spain; a Spanish +34 number makes calls easier.
• Have your passport to hand when you order an Orange Spain or Vodafone plan, and order a few days before you fly.
• Card and phone payments are widely accepted in Spanish cities, and train tickets can be booked in the Renfe app, so reliable data matters for getting around.
• Taking a day trip? Gibraltar is included on the Orange Spain, Orange Holiday and Orange France plans. Andorra is listed only on the Orange France eSIM, and Morocco is not covered by any plan on this page.

The Orange Holiday Europe eSIM includes a Spanish number with 100 minutes of calls within the EU, and the Vodafone eSIM includes a Spanish number with 100 or 200 minutes within Spain and the EU. None of these three include SMS. The Orange France eSIM has a French number, and the Europe & UK data eSIM is data only.

Can I use my Spain eSIM as a hotspot?

Yes. Hotspot and tethering are included on all five plans. Shared data comes out of your allowance, so choose a larger plan if you tether regularly.

When should I install my Spain eSIM?

The Europe & UK data eSIM can be installed at home any time before you travel, as long as it is installed and used within 90 days of purchase. The Orange and Vodafone eSIMs are designed to be installed when you arrive, on airport or hotel Wi-Fi. The Orange France eSIM starts as soon as its QR code is scanned, so do not scan it early.

When does the validity period start?

On the Europe & UK data eSIM, the 7, 15 or 30 days start on the first network connection in a covered country. On the Orange France eSIM, the 30 days start when the QR code is first scanned. The Orange Spain eSIM runs for 28 days and the Orange Holiday Europe eSIM for 15 days from activation. The Vodafone eSIM gives 28 days of service from its activation date, and an arrival date submission is required.

Which phones work with a Spain eSIM?

Any carrier-unlocked phone that supports eSIM. iPhone XS, XR and later models all support eSIM, as do most recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones. To check, dial *#06# and look for an EID number.

What happens if I run out of data?

On the Europe & UK data eSIM, speed drops to 128Kbps once the high-speed allowance is used, so messaging keeps working; that plan cannot be recharged. The Orange and Vodafone plans are listed as rechargeable, and you can also buy another plan at any time.

Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Spain?

The Orange Holiday Europe eSIM is listed with unlimited data in Spain for 15 days, plus 30GB of roaming data in the rest of the EU, for A$29.90. The Orange Spain eSIM is not unlimited but includes 80GB to 320GB in Spain over 28 days.

Can I use my Spain eSIM in Portugal, France and other countries?

Yes. All five plans work across the European Union, including Portugal, France and Italy. The Orange Spain and Orange Holiday plans have a separate roaming allowance for use outside Spain and do not cover the UK or Switzerland. The other three plans do cover the UK and Switzerland.

Does the eSIM work in the Balearic and Canary Islands, Gibraltar and Andorra?

The Balearic and Canary Islands are part of Spain and are covered. Gibraltar is included on the Orange Spain, Orange Holiday Europe and Orange France plans. Andorra is not in the EU and is listed only on the Orange France eSIM, so check before a day trip from Barcelona.

Do Spain eSIMs support 5G?

Yes. All five plans are listed with 5G and 4G LTE. 5G is available mainly in larger cities and needs a 5G phone; elsewhere the eSIM connects over 4G.

Do I need a passport or ID to activate a Spain eSIM?

For the Orange Spain, Orange Holiday Europe and Vodafone eSIMs, yes: a passport is required for registration. The Orange France eSIM needs no ID for the first 30 days, which covers the full plan validity; ID registration with Orange is only required if you want to recharge and keep using it after 30 days. The Europe & UK data eSIM needs no ID.
