Thank you for your reply, Installing SIM card is not a problem , it is the LOCATION of a cell shop inside Spain from SJPP onward into Spain that Im interested in , where I can buy the card. Buen Camino.A Spanish SIM can be purchased at any phone store in Spain. Keep in mind that SJPP is in France and it may be better to wait until Pamplona to purchase a card. You will likely not need it until Spain.
It is very simple to purchase and install.
You may want to google installing a SIM card in your phone to see the simple process in the event that it is not installed for you. It will not be a problem.
No doubt, several people will post here with recommendations of brands of Sims to consider and perhaps the locations of convenient stores in Pamplona.
Enjoy your adventure!
@Tincatinker .. I will be flying into CDG, Paris (April 25th) and then on a flight to Biarritz. I will have only approximately 90 minutes between flights. Not sure if that is enough time to find the phone shop at CDG. Thanks for the suggestion.@Jagdev D. you’ve not said where you are entering Europe. Mobile phone companies in Europe tend to provide coverage without regard to the EC’s somewhat spongy borders. If you’re landing in France buy a sim at the airport it’ll cover you for Spain and save some sweat. If you’ve hacked out for a transatlantic flight a few €’s either which way over a two month trip ain’t either fish nor fowl
@J Willhaus .. exactly.. what to do ???? Cheers. Thanks .Not sure if stores will be open in the evening on a Saturday, especially before a holiday?
Thank you for some good suggestions. J.. Yes I have iPhone11 .I think since May 1 is on a Sunday that May 2 will actually be a holiday as well. Do you have a smart phone? If so you can likely get wifi when you are at albergues or bars if you need to make contact with home. Our phones are also wifi calling enabled so we can make calls without a sim card if we have wifi. You may need to wait to Logrono or stay longer in Pamplona?
If you need to make a call in an emergency, you can also ask a fellow pilgrim for help. We've let others use our phone to make calls when needed.
@C clearly .. thanks a whole bunch, for the suggestion to keep my Iphone on airplane mode and seek wifi and try to use it. Will try my best to deal with these concerns on the Camino as they come my way. Wishing all the very best In life.Pamplona is the first place in Spain where you can buy a SIM card, and you would have choice of cell phone stores. But if they are all closed while you are there, you might need to wait, or search for cell phone stores in Puente La Reina or Estella.
If you keep your Canadian SIM card in your phone, keep it in airplane mode but turn on the wifi (they are separate settings), and you can use wifi wherever you find it in bars and lodging. If you have an emergency and really need it, then of course you can turn off airplane mode and just accept the rather high cost of the calls. But since you have your reservations already made, you won't need it for that purpose.
@Anniesantiago .. I wish I was going through Barcelona or another Spanish city, to SJPP , but Im flying on Air France from Toronto to CDG Paris and then on to Biarritz same day from CDGJoe bought one today at the Barcelona airport. We’ve also gotten them in Pamplona and Madrid and Sevilla. Any good sized town will have a phone store. We like Vodafone personally. It has worked well on all our various Caminos
Thanks, You are right about that Annie , and we pay even more than that here in Canada. Keep well.I get it because it’s crazy affordable at around 26 Euros for much of what I need on a six week trip. I feel compared to my carrier’s plans at $10/day or $100/month for 250 minutes, the Spanish SIM is a steal.
@melissay.. hello Ms Curious, it is good to have some means of communication when walking on the Camino with the outside world , just in case,Just curious...why are you wanting a Spanish SIM card? I was planning on getting mine when I land in Portugal (or on a prior trip to France) since it's the EU...(I used to have a German SIM and it worked all over Europe so wondering if I am missing something)
Just checked, 1st May (Labour Day) is NOT a public holiday in Navarra. Nor is the 2nd.April 30th and May 1st( for rest ) but May 1st , I believe is Spanish holiday and cell phone shops will be closed
Hello Pilgrims, and Forum Members, I will be flying for my first solo CF from Toronto Canada, on April 24th and will be in SJPP on April 25th and 26th, April 27th at Aubergue Borda , and in Roncesvalles on April 28th, Zubiri April 29th ,Pamplona in the evening of April 30th and May 1st( for rest ) but May 1st , I believe is Spanish holiday and cell phone shops will be closed. Does any body can help for where to get the SIM card ? Can I get Spanish SIM card in SJPP? At 72 I have my usual concerns about walk on the Camino. I have reservations at the albergues . I have my two Pfizer shots plus booster in 2021.
Thanks a million in advance. Cheers to all. Buen Camino.
Foreign tourists occasionally discover a technical issue with their new SIM card in their phones brought from home - often a minor thing to do with settings such as outgoing mail server or similar -, and they are more likely to get practical help in a shop when they had bought the SIM card in the country where they discover this and from a provider who is commercially present in that country. If you merely spend an hour or a day in France and discover an issue two or five days later which is what posters have occasionally described ... I think that is the main reason, and that the OP would be well advised to buy the card in Spain as she intends to do, for example in Pamplona.

1. Formerly there where guys on the internet who resold prepaid Spanish SIM cards, so one can get it in advance by mail. Used this service once, before roaming charges in Europe were lifted. Worked well. Just google for this.Does any body can help for where to get the SIM card ?
May 1st is not a holiday but it is a Sunday. So most businesses will be closed, anyway.Just checked, 1st May (Labour Day) is NOT a public holiday in Navarra. Nor is the 2nd.

Thank you Molly, I will try the card at the markets, but my experience is that I change the SIM card in Spain ( Torremolions /Malaga) in phone shops or the authorized dealers. Those shops and dealers needs your passport so that the telephone company (system) knows who is the SIM card/cell phone registered /belongs to etc. This is my first Camino but I go to Costa del Sol ( Torremolinos) area in winter about two months, (for three years, 2018/2019 / 2020)I don't know about Spain, but in many countries you can pick up a SIM in the supermarket, as well as phone shops. So, if you find a supermarket open on Saturday evening it might be worth a try.

Hello!!! I’ll be walking those same days!!! You can get SIM cards with pay as you go at €10 increments on Amazon in the US that cover all of Europe and you can even put it in your phone today. I recently looked at at least a dozen of these plans and chose to go with Vodaphone, a major carrier in Europe.May 1st is not a holiday but it is a Sunday. So most businesses will be closed, anyway.
As someone mentioned, El Corte Inglés opens till 10pm... and it will be open April 30.
May 2nd is not a holiday either, at least not nationwide. So, unless there is a local holiday, everything should be open as usual.

Hello!!! I’ll be walking those same days!!! You can get SIM cards on Amazon here with pay as you go at €10 increments you can put on your US debit card that cover ALL of Europe and you can even put it in your phone today and start using that number. I’ve done this for a previous Camino with Vodaphone and it was cost effective and easy and coverage on the CF was almost 100%. And the cost was way less than I’m used to paying in the US.
Thank youMay 1st is not a holiday but it is a Sunday. So most businesses will be closed, anyway.

The initial period of time is 30 days but you can easily extend it each month by adding 5-10-20 Euros and you get a new month. You can go indefinitely month to month this way. With Vodaphone any amount you have left is carried into the next monthWhile waiting to get a SIM card - you can also download the WhatsApp which is used by many pilgrims on the Camino. It is an easy way to make wifi calls/texts while connected to wifi. Won't help while you area walking - but is great when you are in albergues, bars, restaurants that have wifi available to customers.
Also - I don't know the answer to this question - but maybe someone else does. In the US, you can find SIM cards for "pay as you go" in all sorts of stores - not just phone stores. Is there a place in SJPDP that sells them? Even the food store or the pilgrim hiking equipment store? Seems like that would be a great selling item for them to offer since so many pilgrims start in SJPDP.
I also saw them on Amazon for the EU - but they are for 1 month. I considered buying that way - but I will be gone 2 months and don't know how easy it is to extend the SIM card with online payments.
I decided to skip the fuss - and instead added an international package to my existing cell service.
Have you (or maybe anyone else on the forum?) tried your Sim Card yet from Amazon? My experience was also that by law you had to show a passport to get the Sim Card and activation.It is for

Hello Jagdev, I traveled in September 2021 / El Camino Norte) from Santander and I had real trouble getting SIM Card. As a matter of fact, I was walking for 2 weeks without it.

I was just reading reviews of some EU SIM cards on Amazon - at least one reviewer did mention that they had to upload a digital image of their passport or other photo identification before the SIM can be registered - but stated it was something s/he had not be required to do with other travel SIMs. So - my take is - sometimes you must?Have you (or maybe anyone else on the forum?) tried your Sim Card yet from Amazon?

Totally agree with coverage provided throughout EU. I live in Greece and have a sim that can be used in the entire EU. If you buy in France, inform the place that you purchase the sim, that it needs to be active in Spain too. Otherwise it may not work.@Jagdev D. you’ve not said where you are entering Europe.

What you should do, is put your phone on Airplane Mode and then turn on the wifi.don't forget to turn off your phone service
@DanaMadison thank you so much, Im not going through any Spanish airport , only walking through SJPP to Roncesvalles.

Similar issue in Bilbao during the Rugby World Cup a few years ago, everything was closed and it wasn't until I got to Laredo that I found an Orange shop. Then the clerk scammed me with a story that "the credit card reader is broken this morning story" and said she could only accept cash. I learned later in the day that I had a new Simcard with zero minutes on my phone.

Every year I go to Torremolinos ( Malaga) in winter , I need my passport to get the Spanish SIM card In my Canadian issue iPhone . All I was looking for the card was address /location near Roncesvalles,Zubiri,or Pamplona. El Corte Engles is open on the weekend and will see if I can find the store and then the card.

I used a Vodaphone sim card I purchased on Amazon 2 years ago in Spain and all over Europe. It comes loaded for the first month and after that you load more onto it by an automated phone system using your debit card OR you can purchase more GB at convenience stores. You pay them, they give you a receipt, you put the code in and you’re good for another monthHave you (or maybe anyone else on the forum?) tried your Sim Card yet from Amazon? My experience was also that by law you had to show a passport to get the Sim Card and activation.
Can you go months without paying and then re-activate the card with a payment? In other words, would it be suitable for using on the Camino and then letting it lapse until the next year?I used a Vodaphone sim card I purchased on Amazon 2 years ago in Spain and all over Europe.

That suggestion of keeping phone on airplane mode is great, hence avoiding costly surprises when you get home. My friend Spanish Ray is returning to Spain after many years in Australia. He recommended I get WhatsAp so we can communicate after he gets back home. Wifi is all you need for that and sound quality is supposed to be excellent. On my next Camino, I may use that method, it seems WhatsAp is widely used in all of Europe.@C clearly .. thanks a whole bunch, for the suggestion to keep my Iphone on airplane mode and seek wifi and try to use it. Will try my best to deal with these concerns on the Camino as they come my way. Wishing all the very best In life.
WhatsApp is VERY popular amongst pilgrims. You can even do a group chat with everyone, and decide where to eat dinner or if you want to stay in the same albergues etc. Sound quality if fine - I couldn't tell the difference between a WhatsApp call and a regular call.He recommended I get WhatsAp so we can communicate after he gets back home. Wifi is all you need for that and sound quality is supposed to be excellent. On my next Camino, I may use that method, it seems WhatsAp is widely used in all of Europe.
Is an esim ok for an Android phone?Given that the OP has an iPhone 11 that permits use of an esim, it may be worthwhile considering something like FlexiRoam. It is a data only service but is very well priced and includes a facility that permits calls to any phone (and cleverly showing the call as coming from your normal number) in addition to WhatsApp, of course.
It avoids all the stress and drama of purchasing and installing a local SIM.
I am about to try it for the first time on an upcoming short holiday in Bali.
Good point. I’ve purchased SIM cards in the larger supermarkets in Mallorca, Spain.I don't know about Spain, but in many countries you can pick up a SIM in the supermarket, as well as phone shops. So, if you find a supermarket open on Saturday evening it might be worth a try.

if one need help etc., of course any card , German or any other, is good as long as one can make a call without looking for wifi first In the middle of nowhere.
Not sure if you are missing something or not. But Im missing sim card that will work in Europe. Cheers !

@juandemor …. Thank you for the good advice, I start to believe that at the Camino things will work out. Cheers !Good evening,
Hope I can help you with my advice.
When you roam using your cell phone with a Spanish provider with a foreign SIM card, you will gain access to place unlimited emergency calls (060 is your first choice in the Camino, or 112 for police/medical throughout Spain). If you still want to place int'l calls it might not be dearer than using an EU SIM card. For domestic calls the cost will be unbearable. Your Canadian operator can specify you the actual rates.
In case you want to place domestic calls regularly, then you will need any European SIM card, as roaming inside the EU is at no extra cost. This means you would get the same service and cost when you get either a French or Spanish SIM, and both in France and Spain (or everywhere around the EU). You will get unlimited service at the same rate in both countries.
Therefore, you could go on with your Canadian operator roaming rates in France and/or in Spain until you either:
- Buy a French card in Biarritz or St. Jean ASAP,
- wait until May, 3rd and to buy it somewhere between Pamplona and Logroño. Yes—as someone told you already—, May 1st. is Labor Day and all malls and shops around Pamplona shall be closed; then as it will be Sunday, the holiday will be moved on to Monday, when most shops and malls will be closed either.
I guess you will buy a prepaid card, so try to ensure you will be able to refill it either from your phone or ATMs along the way.
Have a very good Camino!
Hello Jagdev, I am currently in Pamplona on Good Friday and I was unluck enough to lose my phone to a very heavy rain in the Pyrenees. While many stores here are closed for the holiday there are still a few that are open.

I bought an Orange Sim card through Amazon delivered to my home before I left Canada. Registered it when I received it, then when I arrived in France popped it into my phone. No problems and after 2 weeks topped if off ( I was in Burgos by then).Have you (or maybe anyone else on the forum?) tried your Sim Card yet from Amazon?

I was a bit hesitant to buy it and it was in French one but I guess I was fortunate and had no issues.Ok, the reports/reviews on Amazon in the US are not as positive.
