    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    I followed the instructions sent by Vodafone. First did the download at home and then turned on the data plan when I landed in Madrid. It worked very well.

    How was the process of downloading and installing the eSim?

    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    That’s what I’m using right now on the Camino Frances. And I’m pleased with it. I can use WhatsApp to call home. The signal has been very good so far.

    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    Of course it is available to anyone. The ad just popped up for me, probably because the algorithm knows what I'm up to. 😉 It's an eSim for travelers to use in Europe. There are other companies offering eSims for travelers like Airalo and Holafly. There has been some discussion about Vodaphone...

    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    I’m using Holafly eSIM, it gives you a number (Austrian) but only 60 mins of tele but unlimited data for the period of time you choose. My 90 day was $99€.

    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    While perusing Instagram, an ad for Vodaphone Travel eSim popped up in my feed. The site is clear on how to buy, download, and install the Vodaphone travel eSim. You can buy and install the eSim at home, then activate it once you arrive in Europe. It's a data only eSim, so you won't get a...

    Recommended phone apps (iOS)

    To be fair, @HeatherJourney asked for recommendations for apps, and some of those that you list are websites, and not phone apps. I use Godesalco extensively for planning and recommend it to those in their planning stages.

    ...wise pilgrim, Rome to Rio, Correos for luggage transfers if you happen to need that. If you find you have too much you can send your extra to Casa Ivar. Google translate. You can have dual SIM cards with one being an eSIM. For in county calling and the other for dealing with bank stuff back home.

    @SeñorJacques - your link for simoptions is not working for me. Can you please check it? Thank you. Edit: Was it supposed to be simoptions.com? That's the site mentioned in your first link. https://www.simoptions.com/esim-europe/?wpam_id=74

    This is a tremendously helpful site - not just for buying physical SIM cards in Madrid, but also for explaining how eSIMS work and comparing the various options. Thanks for sharing!

    Yes, Vodafone Spain (and undoubtedly the other two big network providers) support eSIMs. The complicating factor if you are from the USA and have a phone that only uses eSIMs is that most customer service staff are unfamiliar with this and, especially if they are busy, they will tell that it...

    I’m in Spain now and have been to both Orange and Vodaphone and both say they can’t help me because I have an e-sim. Im going back to Vodaphone again this afternoon and show them an article from Apple support. Otherwise, I guess I’ll buy one of those plans mentioned in this thread

    Does vodaphone have an eSIM option? Can you buy it at the airport in Madrid? I am in the USA.

    Thanks for this. I used Airalo last year and although it was easy to use was frustrated with needing to top up the data continually over the Camino. I will try Holafly next year instead when I do the Norte.
