PAYG phone/sim for Spain

c-m

i can see the data value pack here http://www.lycamobile.co.uk/en/bundles#Data Value Pack

there's no mention of being able to use it outside of the UK though.

The Data12 3GB for £6 is pretty good.

You're looking at the wrong site. Lycamobile has a separate site for each country. See:

http://www.lycamobile.es/en/Data-Value-Pack

The prices for Spain are:

• 250MB for €5
• 600MB for €10
• 1GB for €15
• 2GB for €20

A few days ago, the Orange shop inside Carrefour in Torrevieja were offering a pre-pay SIM deal marked "Holidays", with unlimited data for 30 Euro Cents per day and calls home for 1 Euro Cent per minute. I don't know what the cost is, nor what ID you would need...

See this link for details!

10MB can hardly be called 'Unlimited'. Though technically, it is. Slowed to 64kbps. But the calls to UK landlines at 1c + IVA are good.

Carrefour Movil have 'Unlimited' for 50c + IVA per day. Translates to 20MB after which the speed is slowed to 128kbps.

Get a SIM card from Tuenti. €7.26 per month isn't bad for 1GB, compared to Three's rip-off £5 for only a day.

OP doesn't have a Spanish address or bank account. Do they send the SIM to UK address?

I believe (but cannot confirm) that Tuenti SIM cards can be bought at Telefonica/Movistar shops. This is supported by the fact that Movistar has started advertising Tuenti on its web site.

Nevertheless, c-m, can't you order a SIM card to a hotel's address etc?

They were selling them from the beginning. But initially only in Madrid. But other retailers sell them. Look here

I'm not staying in a hotel. I've booked a ferry and I'll travelling around via motorcycle.

This worked well for me (in July this year) and came pre-registered.

I used Hits Mobile in Spain this summer and it worked well. It's 5 c/MB for data. I had to show my passport when buying the sim.

Have a look to see if there is a Carrefour at or near your port. 10€ for the SIM containing 10€ of credit.
Otherwise Tuenti Movil or Orange 'Holidays' looks good. Have no idea of how much credit is included with the 'Holidays' SIM. I think Tuenti is also 10€ with 10€ of credit. So map out your options at your first port of call.
