I use the Orange card. Worked well. Renewing minutes for to call is easy- most supermercado’s and tabacs will add money to your account. However, you still need an Orange store to renew the data side. If you have a Spanish credit card (I did not) you can renew online. Orange stores are around but mostly in the bigger cities.@It56ny Thank you for your suggestion which I will look into. Another member also suggested Orange over Vodafone. How do you renew the plan if necessary? Would "topping up" at a Carrefour also act to renew/add time to a plan with Orange?
Good luck with that!I will try contacting Vodafone for clarification.
SIM cards in the UK are generally less than £1 ifI have used both Vodafone and Orange - i much prefer Orange.
If you get a new number, you are paying for a new SIM, which can be a significant part of the total cost. That's money that isn't going toward minutes or data.
I do not think you can top off this plan. I just go to an Orange office before the month is up and pay another 20 Euros. Just google where the offices are. They have lots of them.@It56ny Thank you for your suggestion which I will look into. Another member also suggested Orange over Vodafone. How do you renew the plan if necessary?

Where did you pick yours up?Check out Orange. They have a similar 20€ plan. I think it was 80 minutes worth of calls within Spain. 20 gigs of Wi-Fi for a month. You can renew it anytime. I never had any problems whatsoever.
I did the same! it was easy and worked really well.I used Orange during my Camino last spring and was very happy with it. I will use them again when I return to the Way this spring. I bought the SIM in France, and I bought the renewal at the same time. I did this because the renewal had to be bought from in the same country that the service was originally purchased. Because I bought the service in France, an Orange outlet in Spain would be unable to renew it.
Another major benefit of buying the renewal in advance is that I did not need to seek out an Orange store along the Camino. I just entered the code from wherever I was when the expiry date arrived.... took less than 1 minute to do it.
I'd learned about this through this forum... it was very useful advice that I'm glad to repeat.
If you wait until you get to Spain and buy it from a Spanish country it will be easier having problems along the way taken care of.Can I get Orange or Vodafone in SJPDP? or do I have to be in the Spanish side? I am totally new in buying a SIM card in another country !
