Best eSIM for living in Spain in 2026

Why an eSIM in Spain?

Spain is one of the European countries with the highest eSIM adoption. Since 2024, all major operators offer digital activation, but they're not all equal in price, coverage or support.

If you've just arrived in Spain — as a tourist, digital nomad or resident — an eSIM lets you have an active line in 3 minutes without visiting a physical store.

Comparison: VAMOS vs Holafly vs Airalo vs Orange

VAMOS offers from €6.95/mo with 30 GB rollover, unlimited calls, 5G and EU roaming included. No commitment. Support in English, Spanish and Russian.

Holafly is popular with tourists but doesn't offer a Spanish number or calls — data only. Airalo is similar: prepaid data without voice. Orange requires a 12-month contract and a store visit.

For residents who need a real Spanish number, number porting and human support, VAMOS is the most complete and affordable option.

How to activate your VAMOS eSIM

1. Go to vamosmobil.es and choose your plan. 2. Enter your email and payment details (Apple Pay / card / SEPA). 3. Receive a QR by email in 3 minutes. 4. Scan from Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. Done.

Compatible with iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung S20+ and most modern Android phones.

Can I keep my number from another operator?

Yes. Number porting at VAMOS is free and takes 1 working day. You keep your number and start paying VAMOS from day one. No penalty from your previous operator (Spanish law guarantees this).
