How much does it cost to make mobile calls from Spain?

Mobile phone companies in Spain fix their tariffs differently from those in the UK. In Spain there aren’t packages of minutes and texts, but a rate per minute and per text.

If you have got a mobile phone handset you can buy a sim card in Spain, unlock your handset and use the card with no restrictions.

Historically, pay as you go tariffs were more expensive than pay monthly tariffs, so consumers normally got tied in to long term contracts. However, now more and more consumers are buying a sim card in Spain and using it on a sim free phone.

The cheapest mobile phone providers in Spain nowadays are Simyo, MasMovil and Yoigo, and they offer the same tariffs on their pay as you go and pay monthly offers. These offers don’t require any minimum contract and no or a very low minimum monthly spend (€0 with Simyo, €1 with MasMovil and €6 with Yoigo). Therefore, you can buy a sim card in Spain and use it for as long as you need it on your current handset with tariffs that start from 8 cents per min.
