I'm with Dario. Didgi mobile every day of th week. Used them for seven years now. Good customer service in English too. Rapid response when we had a phone stolen. They blocked the card and transferred the balance to my new card.

Thanks for your recommendation John. 

Where are they based as I’ve not seen them around, or do you pick a sim up from a shop as with others?

You can get them from various shops that stock Digi, or you can go online to their website and have a SIM sent to you

The small paper shop in Burganvillas near Garrucha. He supplies and will also set up your phone for you. There's one in Huércal Overa just opposite the post office. And one in calle Andalucía 30. Albox. Sorry that's all I know personally.

I'm with Digi too. I do the unlimited package. I have no wifi at home and just use the hot spot on my phone. I'm writing this on my laptop while watching TV at the same time - all through the phone. Done this for two years now. Digi has good coverage in most EU countries ( but not all ) and UK.

Good afternoon

I wonder if one of you good people could point me in the direction of a Spanish Sim. We have until earlier this year been using our English phones at no extra cost. Unfortunately due to another Brexit bonus we are now paying international rates when using. Is there any advantage to using a prepai...

...d sim for calls in Spain and England. Mainly texts or WhatsApp. We do have Wi-Fi in our property, which I’m told means WhatsApp is not charged?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

I gave up my UK phone number and contract when I came to live here (I know not everyone can/wants to do this) I’ve had a Lobster sim since 2020 low cost and no problem and can call UK for free and off course I use WhatsApp.

Should say I have 2 SIM cards -O2 for the U.K. as it allows full roaming, and Lowi for Spain. Vodafone were appalling in the U.K., being one of the first to switch off roaming and maintaining to me that they were “obliged” to stop it  because of Brexit.  I had to go with O2 as I have a twin SIM phone which has one physical SIM card, Lowi, and an esim for the U.K.  the only U.K. company which offered full roaming on an esim was O2. Interestingly my Lowi sim allows full roaming when I am back in the U.K.!

Hi, I’m sorry as I left the UK in September 2020 and not been out of Spain since I’m not qualified to give you any advice. I just have a one sim iPhone and a Spanish number with Lobster. My calls are free to the UK even if I don’t use WhatsApp. I hope you can sort it out. 😊
