Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

Short-term plans, often marketed towards tourists and typically prepaid, usually include a fixed bundle of data, calls, and texts valid for a specific, shorter period, like 15 or 30 days. They are designed for ease of purchase and immediate use. Long-term plans, more akin to monthly subscriptions or contract plans, are suitable for residents, students on longer stays, or expats. They often offer more data or unlimited options, can be post-paid, and usually require more documentation for registration, such as proof of address or residency documents. Our comparisons help you understand these differences and identify which category suits your visit duration.

Absolutely! eSIM technology is increasingly supported by major mobile providers in Spain and is a very convenient option, especially for modern smartphones and travelers who want to keep their primary physical SIM active. Many Spanish providers offer eSIM options, particularly for tourist plans or for activation upon arrival. digiestop includes information on which plans are available as eSIMs where possible, helping you find providers that support this convenient technology, eliminating the need to swap physical SIM cards.

We strive for the highest level of accuracy by regularly updating our database with information directly sourced from the official websites and publications of Spanish mobile providers. Our team actively monitors changes in plans, pricing, and terms. However, the mobile market is dynamic, and promotions or plan details can occasionally change without immediate public notice. Therefore, while digiestop provides a highly reliable overview, we always recommend double-checking the specific details of your chosen plan directly on the provider's official website immediately before making a purchase or signing up, just to ensure you have the absolute latest information.

For prepaid tourist SIM cards, which are often intended for short stays (up to 90 days for non-EU visitors), you typically only need your passport for identification purposes. These are designed for easy acquisition upon arrival. However, for post-paid plans, long-term contracts, or certain resident-specific prepaid plans, mobile providers in Spain usually require proof of a Spanish address (like a utility bill) and sometimes additional residency documentation (like a NIE number for non-Spanish citizens residing long-term). Our comparisons aim to indicate the general requirements for different plan types where applicable, helping you prepare the necessary documents.
