Orange SIM Card

2021
I bought an Orange SIM card in Pamplona to use between there and logorno. Unfortunately, I am unable to get data, even though I got data in Pamplona. Is the Orange network very good along the camino? I used to work with mobile phones, so know how to set them up.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Can't comment on Orange.. I bought 2 VodaFone sim cards, twice since arriving in PT May 1 (only good forn30 days) and have used them without issue I PT, Spain SdC to SJPP and LaMancha and now in Southern Spain without any issues...
I would go to an Orange store and sit until they get you what you paid for...
 
EXPRESS BOURRICOT - Transport

Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc

I have an Orange SIM card purchased in Pamplona. I think you need to put at least 20€ on that card. You can purchase that 20€ at any Tobaco store.

I visited Orange store in Logorno, after much fiddling they agreed the SIM did not work. All they would offer was for me to buy a new SIM.

There is 20 euros on it, it is a new card.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I didn't use an Orange SIM...but my Android connected to Orange when we landed, and would *not* access data over the cellular network. My husband's identical phone connected to Vodafone, and he accessed both voice and data with no troubles. On the last 114km of the CF.

Best of luck
