Micro sim needed for Tenerife

bouncydog1

Have iPad2 3G and would like to get payg sim when on hols so I can use net when wi-fi not available. Could tether but then would need payg for phone and no would change. Live offshore so uk roaming cost is v. expensive compared to uk.

Try Yoigo or Carrefour Movil for perhaps the cheapest data plans in Spain

I bought a Carrefour SIM when I went to Spain last.

You need your passport and you buy it at the phone desk in a Hypermarket.

You can top up in their smaller branches if you need to but it is easier to work out what you need when you buy it.

There are a couple of oddities.

1) the SIM is supplied PIN locked (that fooled me for a bit)

2) you have a minimum monthly spend so if you don't use it for some months when you next return to Spain you need to buy a new one as far as I can tell.

Works OK in Google Translate if your Spanish is as good as mine !
