Spain Prepaid SIM Card

BUYER BEWARE - I ordered one product and got a different one!!! I purchased a Lebara SIM card, yet was sent a Mas Movil SIM card. It looks like it came from a company called Cellular Abroad. I contacted them directly for assistance, but Cellular Abroad refused to help me since I did not buy the SIM directly from them. They also told me they had discontinued selling that SIM card because they had too many problems.Here is the kicker - The instructions that came with the SIM card said "If you experience any technical difficulties with your phone or SIM card and you do not contact Cellular Abroad for technical support by phone or by email during your trip, we cannot offer any refund or compensation."That is the bait and switch they are pulling - and it seems that Amazon is just too big to realize they are selling the wrong thing. I'm sending this all back to Amazon for a refund, but I just wanted everyone to know to stay away from buying this. In the end I will just buy the Lebara SIM card which everyone recommended to me somewhere else

The item shown did not ship. I received a masmovil card. Okay it would seem, but curious nonetheless. The real issue was activation. The card was source by Amazon from cellar abroad. These folks in LA made me run around in circles trying to get it activated. They argued that I did not buy it from them. True, but that should not have been a problem. Too much nonsense. Amazon refunded, but I was already in Spain so I had to buy another card overseas. Such a hassle for absolutely no reason. Fault lies with Amazon first and cellular abroad too, they are not at all pleasant. Just buy elsewhere.

I too received a Mas Movil card from Cellular Abroad. Registration, however, was not an issue, even though it appears to have been from other reviewers. I pre-purchased a SIM card (the one represented on this page) for my phone. For my wife's phone, we waited until we got to Spain (a little experiment in different tactics).The most important lesson we learned was that purchasing a SIM card in Spain is no more difficult than purchasing a candy bar as long as you have an unlocked phone. We arrived in Barcelona, visited an Orange store (Orange seems to be the dominant cell carrier in this part of Spain), showed them my wife's passport, and paid nine euros for the card, which included five euros worth of talk time. They even installed the card for her! The entire transaction took about three minutes.Anyone could have done the same. I'll never bother with pre-purchasing again.

Don't make a 902 call on a prepaid lebara sim in spain. there tariffs are .68 cents connection charge and 2.87 euros per minute! so a 3 minute call costs nearly 10 euros!!! on previous network digi mobile the same calls cost .90 cents.Lebara class 902 as a premium rate call and from what I can see the other networks class as a national rate.
