I'll be traveling to the Catalonia region in Spain to climb. Does anyone have any recommendations for pre-paid SIMs for this region (e.g., Siurana, Margalef, Rodellar, Monstant)? Is coverage between carriers even an issue like it is here in the US?
I'm looking mainly for data and texting, but also limited voice.
I use orange in france and it switch to orange spain in catalunya. Work's perfectly but take care some part of catalunya (west) are very remote with no carrier at all
Jim, if you have T-Mobile here in the U.S., it will work in 120 countries, including every country in Europe, save for Slovenia. Our T-Mobile plan was fantastic on our last Europe road trip, with free text and data, and 20 cents per minute of voice. (even worked in Patagonia the year before)
Schmuck, unfortunately, we live in an area that only has coverage with Verizon. So no go in Europe (without super expensive roaming fees). So I'll be buying a local SIM.
I second the vote for orange, depending on how long you are going to be there they have no contract plans that renew weekly, or at least they did the last time I was there (a couple years ago). Get one with unlimited data then use whatsapp to text.
