Spain Telecoms

Spain is a Connected Player telecom market in Southern Europe with 4 main Spain Telecom Companies and 49.0 million mobile connections. spain telecoms

Regulatory Agency: Comision del Mercado de las Telecomunicaciones (CMT)

Spain has four big mobile internet providers  (all of them are selling prepaid sim cards for tourists too as well as for locals). Orange and Vodafone are the two well known European brands and then there is also Movistar and Yoigo.

According to the latest data from the European Commission’s Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) report for 2021, Italy’s prices for mobile data and fixed broadband are above the EU average.

The report shows that the average price for mobile data in Italy is €7.4 per GB, which is higher than the EU average of €4.9 per GB. However, it’s worth noting that this is a significant decrease from the previous year’s price of €8.8 per GB.

For fixed broadband, the report shows that the average price for a basic package (up to 30 Mbps download speed) in Italy is €25.1 per month, which is also above the EU average of €22.3 per month.

Which Spanish mobile operator you would recommend to others?

Choosing the right telecom operator in Spain can be confusing. Alertify makes it easy! We help you find the best deals for free (individuals) or a small fee (businesses) in all EU countries. If you are travelling outside EU countries, we can help you reduce roaming expenses. Contact Alertify today: info@alertify.eu!

Spain, as a member of the EU, implements “roam like at home” rules which mean that when you use your mobile phone while travelling outside your home country in any EU country you don’t have to pay any additional roaming charges.

You benefit from these rules when calling (to mobile and fixed phones), sending text messages (SMS) and using data services while abroad. These rules also apply when receiving calls or texts while roaming even if the person you are calling is using a different service provider.

You pay exactly the same price for using these services when travelling in the EU as you would if you were at home.

Mobile users must be aware that outside EU countries, on ships, cruisers, planes etc. there are still roaming charges and they can be very high.

eSIM cards for Spain

We do recommend eSIM cards when 
traveling: no more swapping of 
physical sim cards, everything is
 automated on your phone through
easy to fill out codes. The 
downside of eSIM cards is that 
they are data-only sim cards and 
calls are not supported. Check 
out  Spain eSIM deals:

 1 GB With no expiration = €4.30

 3 GB With no expiration = €12.50

 5 GB With no expiration = €20.20

10 GB With no expiration = €38.70

Choose between daily, monthly or
 plans with no expiration here.

SIM cards for Spain
Prepaid Spain sim cards include 
free data roaming in the EU. 
Sometimes it is capped, so always 
ask when buying a sim card. Free 
EU roaming means the sim card 
you buy in Madrid or Barcelona 
can also be used in Paris, Prague 
or even Oslo. Free EU roaming on 
Spain SIM cards is great for 
those that arrive in Spain and 
travel to more countries in 
Europe on the same trip.

Or you can get a daily, monthly 
or even SIM card for Spain 
without expiration.
