I have a Vodaphone sim card that I use when in Spain. It is expiring soon and I need to recharge it. Does anyone know a source that I can purchase a Vodaphone Spain recharge card from that will mail it to me in the USA?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

I plan to buy a vodaphone sim card when I arrive in Barcelona, were you happy with the service, does it provide some 3G Internet too? And does it work in other European countries?

Thanks

I was very happy with the vodaphone service. Under their "Mi Pais" plan, I was able to call my family back in the USA for under 30c per minute after 8 PM. Service and quality of the calls was excellent.
I did not try 3G or data services so I cannot comment on this. To the best of my knowledge, it will work in other countries, but there would likely be roaming charges.

I think (not 100% sure) that you can do it here:
https://tienda.vodafone.es/frontalRecar ... cation=tol

Tip:
Choose..
a) Tarjeta bancaria
b) where it says "Número a recargar" enter the mobile number you want to add the money to.

See how it goes... :)

Saludos,

Hello Ivar,
I did try the technique you suggested, but it would not accept my credit card. Apparently, you have to use the credit card once in Spain before you can use it on-line.
However, I did find a site (http://www.cloncom.com) which did allow me to recharge instantly. It worked very well. I was able to get 10 euro recharge for only a 1 USD fee.
Thanks...

Of course, and the roaming prize is lower than with other companies. For example, if you are a Vodafone customer in Australia, is cheaper for you to use the same mobile company.

And, 3G network here in Spain is quite good. At least for me, after some recent travels by Italy, Germany and India.

Buen Camino,
