    LIVE from the Camino My October Camino Frances

    I’m beginning to think I’ve walked very different Caminos than others! In 2019 I walked the last 150 K of the Portuguese and in late October of this yearI walked about 120 of the Français from Sarria to Santiago. There were no significant crowds to speak of and everyone was extremely friendly in...

    ...much easier than using the passport book). Credit card. European health insurance card. 19. Phone. Sometimes i wish i hadn't it. Anyway, dual sim so i could buy a local sim for decent 4G. If possible - bring a really good phone. You'll have a decent battery-life,.it can charge your other...

    E-Sim card

    That’s how it works with single sim phones for sure. Now with the dual sims you can actually have two at once!! The rain isn’t a physical sim, so it leaves a slot open for whatever one you buy. It’s awesome for travel or if you only want to carry one phone for personal and business but have it...

    E-Sim card

    Thank you. Xfinity, my US carrier doesn’t support E-sim.

    E-Sim card

    I’m not a techie, but there are tons of phone stores in bigger cities like Pamplona or Logroño. I bought a Spain SIM card for 40EU and they totally set it up for me and explained everything. (Can get one for 20EU, but I wanted more data) You can switch back to your Verizon SIM at any time. I...

    E-Sim card

    This is exactly perfect advice and how the dual sim system should be used.

    E-Sim card

    Use the recommendation above regarding E-sim for the US. We specifically got dual sim for exactly the reason of traveling. E sim is just a sim that your phone company will scan and set up for your phone, nothing will be obvious to you. You would only lose data you saved to your SIM card. Then...

    E-Sim card

    Hi to all, Just ordered new iPhone 13. I have coverage in the US with Xfinity who goes with Verizon. New phone has dual SIM cards and was told I could get an eSim in Spain. I am looking for a pay as you go plan. Looking at Vodafone for El Camino de Invierno. Does anyone know how this works? Do...

    SIM Cards Again

    ...else worked fine. My advice for anyone who uses Signal would be try replacing the SIM (for a single SIM phone) or adding a SIM (for a dual SIM phone) while you are at home and you have all your resources around you rather than waiting until you get to Spain and seeing what happens there...

    SIM Cards Again

    ...the details), and not even the tech person in one of their shops could figure out how to resolve it. Ditto. Oh! Good to know!! So with a dual SIM, do you just leave both on? And if so, does Signal exclusively use the original SIM? My profound ignorance is showing, but would that not be...

    SIM Cards Again

    I've used WhatsApp and changed to a SIM card with a different number. All my existing contacts could still contact me, just like before. I can't remember what happened to new contacts. The only issue I know about is if you had to reinstall WhatsApp and wanted it to use your old number you would...

    Google FI plan (Cell Phone Service Plan)

    ...in your current situation I don't think going to FI is really worth it for a month +/-. You mentioned maybe putting FI along Verizon on a dual sim phone. This means paying for two services each month and one you can't use. I suggest the following. Get yourself a Google Voice account (it's...

    SIM Cards Again

    Thats weird. I installed WhatsApp on my Camino Portugues when I had the Portuguese SIM in the phone and haven't had issues using it to continue conversations after I restored my Canadian SIM upon my return home.

    SIM Cards Again

    ...phone calls use information on the SIM card to identify you. When you take your old SIM out of a single SIM card phone and put a different SIM in these apps can no longer identify you and your contacts can no longer contact you using these apps. Things are different again with a dual SIM phone.

    SIM Cards Again

    Simyo has a great plan, 5 euro a month gives you 5GB plus calls n messages for a month. Dual sim means no SIM switching, and you can top it up online after the initial purchase in a phone store or supermarket (Carrefour size).

    SIM Cards Again

    ...to actually buying a plan and using it I'm still learning. Two years ago was my first experience buying a SIM for travel. I had an Android dual sim phone and I used this feature for the first time. I had no problems with this but I did have confusion with the Spanish sim. Before walking by...

    Watch "How to set up and use Dual SIM on your iPhone — Apple Support" on YouTube Two years old so may not be current but will give you an idea of what happens anyway.
