For Spain this trip I ran a Spanish Vodafone SIM.
€20 per month for 140GB.
I had asked advice from people on the ground, from people who works in the industry and their advice was to get a SIM from one of the primary providers like Vodafone, Orange, Telefonica, etc….. which ever was giving the best deal. Vodafone.es seemed to be the best.
They told me that all the other providers are only ‘piggy-backing’ on the main networks, that means they main networks will always prioritise their own subscribers before the others, in short this means a better signal & service from the primary providers.
I found the Spanish vodafone to consistently give 5G in towns/Cities and always a good 4G everywhere else. It was superb for what I needed & never let me down. I installed it in the MiFi dongle and it worked effortlessly as a Wi-Fi router with all other devices connected to it including the TV.
It can be topped up by €5 every 6 months and it will stay “live” and can be used when I go back.
You can also continue to use it in any European country if you keep it topped up by €20/month which is excellent. It runs here in Ireland with a strong 4G service without issue.
Their on-line top up and usage service is superb and in English.
To avail and get a Spanish sim you need to take your passport. Top ups can be bought almost everywhere.
That sounds like a great setup for Spain, does anyone know if there's a French version,as I think most people go to France for summer holidays
