Hello
I will shortly be leaving the UK to spend 2 months in Mallorca - can anyone recommend a good PAYG sim card for Mallorca - for local calls and texts - or advise on what to avoid?

Many thanks

Rosemary

As Concierge for the Spanish section of BE I would like to say hello and welcome.

BE is a very large expat website, so if you have problems finding your way around we have concierges who will try to direct you. The moderators for the Spanish forums are Mitzyboy and Fred James, moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE. Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderador who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the issues of living in Spain. At the top of the page you will find a quirkily named thread called Free Beer which is full of important and useful information. Hope you enjoy your time participating in the forums.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Rosemary

Mas movil seems to be the best for short periods of data and voice, for Spain and Spanish islands.

Vodafone has a couple of prepaid plans for voice and data that are interesting:

"Smart 12" for €12+IVA (just under €15) you get 60 mins of voice, 600M of data and 60 SMS.

"Smart 16" for €16+IVA (about €20) you get unlimited calls in Spain, 1GB data, and unlimited SMS.

Their prices aren't the best but also not the worst, but their coverage is pretty good, it's easy to manage your account, see your usage, and reload online - and they have a smartphone app for all of that too (Android/iPhone)

Go to any Vodafone shop and ask for one of those plans. No contract necessary.

thank you all - I'll see which shops they have in Inca (where I'm going to be based) - & then use your really helpful info to guide me. I only have a very basic phone so data isn't really an issue.
