What to check before buying a travel eSIM

- Carrier unlock status: phones bought on instalment plans may be locked to your home carrier. Most outright purchases are unlocked.
- iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
- Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
- Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.
It depends. Spain is in the EU, so "Roam Like at Home" applies only to EU citizens.
- If you are from the UK (Post-Brexit): Most UK carriers (like O2, Vodafone, Three) have reintroduced daily roaming fees (e.g., £2-£6 per day).
- If you are from the USA/Canada/Asia: Your home carrier will charge expensive international rates (e.g., $10-$14 per day).
A Cellesim eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper than these roaming charges.
Yes, absolutely. Our eSIM plan covers all of Spain, including the autonomous regions of the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria) and the Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca). You can use the same plan to explore Barcelona and then fly to Ibiza and stay connected.
This specific plan is valid only within Spain (or, if it's a regional plan, you'd say "Yes"). This is a critical point.
- For Portugal/France (EU): Your connection will stop at the border unless you buy our Europe Regional eSIM.
- For Morocco (non-EU): This is a major roaming trap. You must get our Europe Regional eSIM that explicitly includes Morocco, or you will face massive fees.
Yes, 100%. Buying a physical "prepaid" SIM at Madrid or Barcelona airport (from Orange, Vodafone, etc.) requires you to find the kiosk (which is often very crowded), wait in a long line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process as required by EU law. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Spain’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Movistar (Telefónica), Vodafone Spain, or Orange. This ensures you get the fastest available 5G/LTE speeds, whether you are in Madrid or on a beach in Ibiza.
Yes, for most of the journey. Spain has an excellent network. You will have a strong, stable 4G/5G signal for the majority of your high-speed train ride (e.g., Madrid to Seville). However, you must expect the signal to drop inside the long rural tunnels, but it will reconnect instantly.
Yes, absolutely. Google Maps, Uber, and Cabify are essential apps for navigating cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Our eSIM provides high-speed, low-latency data, which is crucial for ordering a ride from the airport, tracking your driver in real-time, and using Google Maps for walking directions or train schedules.
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
Scan it at home before your flight. This ensures you get immediate data the moment you land at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (MAD) without searching for free WiFi.
Connect to any hotel or cafe WiFi in Madrid or Barcelona and contact our 24/7 support via WhatsApp or Email immediately.
Yes. Coverage is generally reliable in towns along the French Way, but expect signal to drop briefly in the remote forests of Galicia.
Yes, tethering is fully supported. This is perfect for sharing data with your family while eating tapas in Seville or working from a cafe in Valencia.
Generally yes. However, during major matches like "El Clásico," data speeds in Barcelona or Madrid stadiums may slow down due to extreme crowd congestion.
