Is 5G included in Spain?

Yes — where the partner network offers 5G (most cities and resorts), your eSIM uses it at no extra cost; elsewhere you're on fast 4G.

I'm visiting more than one European country — do I need separate eSIMs?

No. If Spain is one stop on a bigger European trip, the Europe regional eSIM covers 54 countries on one plan and switches partner networks automatically at every border — no new QR codes.

Will my eSIM work as soon as I land in Spain?

Yes — install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the line on when you land. It joins a partner network in Spain automatically, usually before you reach baggage claim. Your days only start counting at that first connection.

Do I keep my own number and WhatsApp in Spain?

Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs alongside your home SIM. Your number stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number the whole trip.

When do my days start counting?

Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Spain — not when you buy or install it. Buying ahead of your trip is completely safe.

Which phones work with a Spain eSIM?

Most phones from 2018 onward: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus many recent Xiaomi, Oppo and Motorola models. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked — check yours in 30 seconds on our compatibility page.

The Spain eSIM guide.

Spain is Britain's favourite holiday and a data-hungry one: beach-day navigation, tapas-bar hunting, ride apps in Barcelona and Madrid, boarding passes for the flight home. One Spain eSIM covers the mainland and the Balearics with 5G in the cities.

How it works on the day

Set it up at home, switch on at Alicante, Málaga or Barcelona arrivals, and the plan runs quietly for the whole stay — hotspot included for the kids' tablets.

Choosing your days

A 7-day beach week is standard; 10–15 day two-centre trips (city + costa) earn the lower day rate automatically.

Your eSIM joins Spain's partner networks automatically — no settings to choose, no manual network hunting. If signal drops in a remote spot, toggling Airplane Mode for a few seconds forces a fresh connection.
