I agree. I only keep an expensive Spanish PAYG phone for standby or emergency now.
UK roaming contracts have dropped in price considerably and in my case is much cheaper than the Spanish PAYG which seemed to eat money.

I pay €4.95 / mo for my Spanish PAYG and gives me 20 minutes talk, 20 SMS, and 1GB data - *in country* - roaming rates are obviously higher, but not too bad. Additional talk minutes are charged at regular rates. That suits me just fine. I would never, ever enter another mobile phone contract.

I also have a similar PAYG deal in Germany and the UK. Would never, ever enter into another mobile contract. Waste of money.

My UK contract is sim only with EE/Orange at about 8 quid a month last time I checked and more than adequately meets my phone requirements, texts to UK being free, calls much cheaper than a Spanish PAYG and a limited amount of data, though I do also have a Spanish rural internet system in the house the beauty of which is it is unlimited and I only pay for it during the periods I spend in Spain.

Otherwise you will need to make sure it is "open" and use a Spanish Sim and data package

What absolute tosh, I have my UK number in Spain with O2 and will renew contract this week, my bills are LOWER than my Telefonica Spanish Mobile
