Using your eSIM in Spain
Spain has some of the better mobile infrastructure in Europe, and a data plan covers what a trip actually needs: navigation, the metro app, a table booked from the beach. Networks named on the plan: Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo. Coverage is strong across the mainland; the islands are well served, but if your trip is Mallorca plus Lisbon, read the regional plan page instead.
5G is included on every plan here — the speed string on each is 3G/4G/5G. You do not pick the network. Leave automatic selection on and the phone will do it; the APN comes with the profile.
Daily plans work well for a beach holiday where usage is light but the trip is long: a small amount every day, no big bundle bought up front. The smallest plan is 500 MB over 1 day ($3.28); the largest is 100 GB over 180 days ($140.08). Every plan here can be topped up from the app without reinstalling anything.
Install on home wi-fi and set data roaming on for the Num line before landing; it waits, unused, until it first sees a Spanish network. Who it suits: a city break or beach fortnight in one country. If Portugal or France are on the same ticket, the Europe plan wins on price.
Practical notes for Spain
- Strong coverage across the mainland; the islands are well served but worth checking on a regional plan.
- If Portugal or France are on the itinerary, compare against a Europe regional plan first.
- Daily plans work well for beach trips where usage is light but the trip is long.
How to get connected
- Download Num and pick Spain.
- Choose a plan and pay with Apple Pay.
- Scan the QR code the app gives you — Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM.
- Turn on data roaming for the Num line when you land.
Questions about Spain
How much does an eSIM for Spain cost?
Plans start at $3.28. The table on this page shows current prices — 14 options ranging from short trips to month-long stays. These are the prices you pay in the app; there are no separate activation or delivery fees.
Will my phone work with a Spain eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XR and XS onward support eSIM, and the handset must be carrier-unlocked. Check the compatibility page for the full list before you buy.
When does the plan start counting down?
Validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in the coverage area, not when you buy it. You can install it before you travel and it will wait until you land.
Can I keep my normal number while using it?
Yes. The Num eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, so calls and texts on your usual number keep working while data runs over the travel plan. Turn your normal line's data roaming off to avoid a roaming bill.
Can I add more data if I run out?
Yes — reloadable plans can be topped up from inside the app without buying a new eSIM or reinstalling anything.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Spain?
Num does not sell unlimited plans for Spain. The closest are the daily-allowance plans, such as 500 MB per day, which give a fixed amount each day for the length of the trip. For most travellers the fixed bundles, from 500 MB to 100 GB, are better value.
Which networks does a Num Spain eSIM use?
It connects to Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo and picks the strongest available network automatically. Every plan on this page supports 5G where the network offers it.
Do I get a Spain phone number with the eSIM?
No. Num eSIMs are data-only. Your own number stays active on your existing SIM for calls and texts, and WhatsApp, iMessage and other messaging apps keep working over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number, see our guide to eSIMs with a phone number.
What is the best eSIM for Spain?
It depends on how long you stay and how much you use maps and video. On this page the best value per gigabyte is 5 GB per day for 1 day at $4.20 ($0.84); the trip-length picks match a plan to a weekend, a week, two weeks and a month. The comparison page sets Num's prices against Airalo, Saily, Nomad, Simpal, Maya at matched plan sizes, including the sizes where we are not the cheapest.
