i have asked for my vodafone handset to be unlocked, (free as i've had it over a year. what is the best site to buy a spanish sim, and have it sent to me here before i go. I've seen a lot of deals, but most are not clear whether they include credit or not. i'm only going for 2 weeks right now, but intend to be traveling again l8r in the year

    Spain is one of Three's feel at home countries. Worth looking at a PAYG sim with an addon.
  • I would get the "3" SIM (perhaps 3 2 1 on PAYG or a data SIM in a MiFi).


    Alternatively I've had good results with a Lebara SIM bought in a Spanish internet cafe.

    Hi k50smc,

    You can find out about unlocking your handset by visiting our website and searching for NUC.

    This will provide you with both the FAQs and the necessary form to complete your request.

    Cheaper and less risky to buy it when you are there. Shopkeeper will know the best deals. Passport needed for registration.
