For those already in Spain, those with fiends [sic] and family visiting, those moving over and those just coming to view properties, you may find this useful. I am not linked to this other than being a satisfied customer over a couple of years.

There is now an outlet where you can buy Spanish sim cards for your unlocked mobile or for your unlocked dongle (and locked devices) online. You can avoid the necessity to visit a phone shop when you get them by buying from this guy. You get Spanish sim cards for your chosen device and can select one (or more) Sim cards from various networks.

This guy also offers an online top up service for the sim card you have bought so you don't have the language problems or have to go out of your way to top up if your language skills are not up to it. You can use major bank cards or Paypal at the checkout stage.

I have used him several times and found him to be reliable and trust worthy. His name is Luis and is based in Valencia. He speaks (and replies to e-mails in) English, German, Spanish and French. He posts them to your UK or Spanish address. You need to provide your passport number.

His website is here ......

I also found a website which lists all the APN info for all countries and is regularly updated. The site is here .....
