Vodaphone Travel eSim

[trecile]

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 phone number with it, but I buy credits from the Viber app to make VOIP calls to numbers that I can't call via WhatsApp.

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€.

I don't use Instagram nor do I use Vodafone as my home based telco provider, so is this available to all who wish to purchase?? Thanks in advance!

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 and other cell stores in Spain not being up on how to install eSims, so it seemed worthwhile to post the direct link to Vodaphone.

For what it is worth I was very unhappy with my Vodafone sim. I will be using someone else in the future.

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.

Today, I was just going to post this question! I think Holafly will still be my choice as I will have unlimited data.Thanks for posting this thread, it is useful.

How was the process of downloading and installing the eSim?

How was the process of downloading and installing the 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.

Didn’t I just read that Vodaphone had been purchased? I.e. will cease to exist sometime in the future. Saw it on the Guardian

Funnily enough, I just finished reading this article in today's New York Times, which of course made me think of my fellow peregrinos:

The SIM Card Is Going Away. That Might Be Annoying.

The tiny plastic card with your phone number attached is on its way out. eSIMs are replacing SIMs, and they’re bringing some new features in the process.

I read via another recent thread that Holafly's "unlimited" data comes with a catch: apparently, data speeds are throttled after a certain period of time to the point where the service becomes unusable. Curious to know if you've encountered that in your own experience.

I'll let everyone know once I start using it next week. Not being a heavy data user, I may not find out. I used one in the UK and had no problem though. Stay tuned!
