    I know I’m resurrecting an old thread but does anyone know where you can buy a Tuenti SIM card? Do you have to buy on line? Also does the credit run out? Often the 1GB limits need to be used within one month. If it does run out does the tome start from when it is first used? Terry

    Online with the help of someone who lives there or from a shop in Madrid(perhaps more places since I last looked). The bundle is for one month. You can buy a 1 or 3GB bundle.

    Thanks for that but I couldn't find the the 0.30 cents/day offer on their web site.

    I forgot to mention I want to use it for VoIP and I believe Orange blocks VoIP in both Spain and France. Although I've just noticed they have realsed a VoIP Android App?

    Also it looks like it is limited to 100 Mb / week (although the adverts are not that clear) so not enough for VoIP.

    Thanks, I have got an address in Spain, so I could order it on-line assuming the one month starts from when you first use the card.

    You probably have to activate the card once received.

    Surf on your mobile for 24 hours enjoying full speed 10 MB for € 0.3, then at the reduced speed of 64 Kbps.


    Really nothing about which to be excited.

    Carrefour Movil: (Acceso Internet desde el M!vil: 0,50€ d!a de conexi!n (d!a natural), s!lo los d!as que te conectes. Una vez superados los 20 Mb, se reduce la velocidad a 128 kbps, nunca se te cobrar! mas) 0,50€ for one day's unlimited surfing; 20MB slowed down to 128kbps afterwards.
