iPad and Spain

[scarrab666]

All, Does anyone know of a Pay as You Go (PAYG) type carrier in Spain? I'd like to use my iPad when I'm there and Three UK seemingly don't do Data Roaming for my £7.50 a month package.

Movistar

One of the major cellular carriers in spain, Movistar, offers a prepaid plan for 30 mg a day for 3 euros on the days you use it.
there are some other options but they are 3 month, 4 month, and 6 month "prepaid plans, as in you buy 1 gig for 3 months"

As you can see here in spain our networks are bloody expensive.

I think you may only have 2 choices, there's more of course.

Vodafone: Internet básico 15€/mes +IVA
Hasta 250 Mb/mes de navegación
Después de 250Mb, baja la velocidad a 128Kbps
Velocidad de bajada hasta 7,2 Mbps

Simyo: Internet 15 14,99€/mes +IVA
Hasta 1Gb/mes de navegación
Después de 1Gb, baja la velocidad a 64Kbps
Velocidad de bajada hasta 3,6 Mbps

The others will charge you when you get the limit.
Anyway depends on how long you'll be around, I hope you understand a bit of spanish

Yes but those are contract plans, he is looking for prepaid/pay as you go no contract plans. That is where Movistar comes in

I went to Spain this summer, I used a prepaid Vodaphone with my iPad for two weeks. I tried to get a hold of a Moviestar SIM but it was impossible... The Vodaphone card worked like a charm You'll need to trim the card yourself ( no micro sim option)
