    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    I had a different experience with Vodaphone, I purchased in Porto and it only worked in Portugal even though I stressed to the woman in the store I needed for both countries. She assured me it would work in Spain and it didn't. Just be careful when you purchase your plan.

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    I think that @kaesler meant travel.vodaphone.com https://travel.vodafone.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6PGxBhCVARIsAIumnWbbHucAqSlg9IahXrsRbQvadv6HWgtSG-lA1qMzobWAE-5g-v_3JekaAmJ6EALw_wcB

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    I am going to be traveling before and after the Camino so I got an eSim from Vodaphone that I can top up as needed for up to 90 days. https://travel.vodafone.com/product-details?i_code=CS-F-12-CTA

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    Suggest you check out either airarlo or saily eSim to set up data only, either before or after you arrive, very easy.

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    alosim’s Mediterranean Europe esim includes Portugal and Spain, as well as France and Italy. I haven’t used mine for more then 30 days yet so can’t address top-up/recharge, but I had no problems and had to do nothing when I went from France to Spain.

    I’ve just finished my Camino SJPDP. to Burgos. I used Holafly eSIM, covers the whole of Europe, worked brilliantly, will use on my next Camino stage.

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    If you want to keep the same SIM or eSIM for 35 days you should look into being able to recharge it online in Spain or Portugal. It's been reported that SIMs bought in Portugal can't be recharged once in Spain. It's not a crisis as you could always buy a new SIM but if you want to retain the...

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    I’m just back from this walk. I ordered an eSIM online from travel.vodaphone.com before I left and installed it. I then activated it when I landed in Portugal. It worked very well and was not very expensive. There was one adjustment I needed to make whenever I crossed a national border, e.g...

    E-sim for both portugal and Spain

    Boost Mobile, Airolo and T-Mobile have esim plans that work all over the world. At your last location in your home country, take out physical sim card and switch to esim. If you're doing regula sim card, purchase from Vodafone at the airport when you arrive. I've found their reps honest and helpful.

    Money taken from my Cash Passport! ☹️

    ...either by watch or phone. It provides notification of a purchases and the ability to change the virtual card intermittently as needed. I carry the physical debit card for machine cash withdrawals only. Overlaying all of this is using a VPN and an eSim for data and not having to rely on Wi-Fi.

    vodafone sim purchase

    ...SIM (but do in other countries they do). Generally this isn't a problem but if you want to visit a country that doesn't support installation of eSIMs you are not going to be able to buy a plan there. The eSIM(s) that you do have will work but you need to be careful about roaming and its...

    vodafone sim purchase

    Thanks for the replies! I have an iPhone8 max and originally I was planning to buy a physical SIM card (my phone doesn’t have an eSIM capability). I was with Verizon and didn’t like their international $10/day “plan”, so recently I switched to T-Mobile to a Magenta plan for those aged 55+, since...

    vodafone sim purchase

    I have the iPhone SE (2022) it has 2 SIM card slots, one is a e-SIM and the other is SIM. I use the SIM for travel and the e-SIM has my primary phone # Both cards do the same thing. I have the impression that Vodafone likes to sell prepaid SIM cards versus e-SIM. If you were Spanish or spoke...

    vodafone sim purchase

    I may be incorrect (and I am sure someone will correct me) but in order to get an eSim with a Spanish phone number you have to physically visit a phone vendor and show your passport. If you don't need a Spanish number and just want data, you can buy an eSim at home and then activate it when you...

    vodafone sim purchase

    Out of curiosity, why do you prefer a physical SIM card over an eSIM? I’m asking because I’m considering upgrading an older iPhone for a newer one with eSIM capabilities, seems so much more convenient than finding a store to buy a SIM and getting it installed. What would the downsides of an eSIM...
