* All call rates described above are to mobile and landline numbers. In Spain there is a standard per call connection charge of 19p for national calls and 28p for international calls after which only the per minute rate applies. Inter-group calls refer to other Spanish Vodafone pay-monthly users provided via 0044.co.uk and is automatically enabled.

All SIMs are data enabled and all consumption will be chargeable. If you do not wish to use data then please request that it is barred from your SIM upon receipt of the SIM card.

• What solution is best for me?

  We would recommend our 6 month pay-monthly plan versus a Pay-As-You-Go SIM for customers who plan to visit Spain regularly, particularly if they are involved with buying property or relocating there on a temporary or permanent basis. With our pay-monthly SIM you can avoid the inconvenience of a Pay-As-You-Go Spanish SIM card, whilst making big savings and enjoying UK based customer support.

• What do I get for my money?

  You will get a Spanish Vodafone SIM, English voicemail, a Spanish mobile number, English instructions and e-billing. No top ups, no loss of credit and a Spanish mobile number that doesn't expire.

• How does it work?

  You can simply subscribe to a 6 month plan. On which all calls, text (SMS) and data usage are then billed in addition to the line rental fee on a monthly basis.
  
  Every month you will receive your itemised bill via email. It couldn't be easier! All you need to do is ensure that your mobile handset is unlocked and then simply switch your UK SIM card for your new Spanish SIM card on arrival.

• Do you offer a business solution?

  If you are looking for a business solution (10+ SIM cards) we can provide tailored tariffs to suit your exact requirements. For further information please contact us.

• Why should I get a Pay-Monthly SIM rather than a prepaid SIM?

  Not only will you save in excess of 50% on call charges you will also receive the following advantages:
  

  • English voicemail
  • Short terms contracts
  • 24/7 English customer support
  • No need to top-up
  • No expiry periods on your credit
  • Full itemised bill – claim back VAT
  • Data enabled
  • Micro-SIMs available on request

• Why should I get a Pay-Monthly SIM card from 0044 rather than a Spanish Network?

  Because we have taken all of the hassle out of dealing with a Spanish network whilst providing better value for money and additional features such as English customer support, English Voicemail, English fully itemised billing and delivery directly to your address in Spain or in the UK. Unfortunately it is not possible to port an individual Spanish payg SIM number to our pay-monthly system, although business to business group porting can be arranged.
  
  Also, it is very difficult for English customers to obtain a mobile contract directly with a Spanish network due to the requirement of a Spanish credit history. There are no such problems when acquiring a contract through ourselves.

• How am I billed?

  Once a month you are provided with a detailed breakdown of your call history and the amounts owing, via email (or by post providing a specific request is made). The monthly bill can then be automatically paid either by Spanish or UK based credit card or via direct debit mandate (DDM) through a UK bank account. When completing the order process you’ll be required to submit your credit card details if you wish to pay via credit card. If you prefer to set up a DDM then select that option, but also include your credit card details as well as part of the security and verification process and the relevant DDM forms will be posted to you for you to complete and return. Monthly rental payments and set up costs unfortunately cannot be accepted on a debit card, only via credit cards or a DDM associated with your UK bank account. If you do not have a credit card but wish to pay via direct debit then we are only able to accept a DDM application providing a parent’s credit card is used in the security and verification process. You will be billed in per minute increments. The rates published above apply for contracts taken out since 1st Nov 2011. If your contract was taken out prior to this date your existing rates apply but you may change to the new tariff on completion of the minimum term.

• Subscription Periods

  The Spanish pay-monthly plan is available for 6 months. Once the initial period has been reached (6 months) then the rental may be continued month to month at the same rate as the initial period (e.g. If a contract was taken out for 6 months at £9.99 then required for 4 months the last month would also be billed at £9.99). Once a minimum period is completed the SIM can be returned for termination but rental is billed on a pro-rata basis until the SIM is received and contract cancelled.

• Important Information

  You may be requested to provide additional proof of I. D. via fax, email or post immediately after purchase to verify your application, credit card and delivery address. This is a quick and simple process and ensures you will receive the SIM card promptly and securely, usually within 3-5 working days from date of order when a credit card is used as the billing method or, if DDM payment is selected, 7-10 days from receipt of the completed signed DDM forms. If your departure date is imminent then please contact us immediately after completing your application so we can address any priority requirements.

• Delivery options

  Once the application is approved your Spanish Pay-monthly SIM will be delivered securely, either to your UK billing address or an alternative address, and the contract commences from that point. Alternative delivery arrangements and your preferred delivery date can be selected during the checkout process. UK delivery is free but a set-up charge applies. Deliveries can be made to Spanish addresses providing your name is recognised by the Spanish postal service at your address (or, if renting, your name c/o a landlord at the Spanish address). Deliveries can also be made to a relative's address in the UK if you no longer own a UK property. Delivery to Spain incurs an additional £5.00 charge.

• What data access is available?

  It is possible to access, 3G and Edge, depending on coverage.
  
  Mobile data access is an ideal solution if you do not have a landline internet connection or require access to emails whilst on the move.
  
  Examples of applications that require or are suited to GPRS include:

  • Sending and receiving email. Large attachments may download more slowly than text-only email
  • Internet browsing
  As you will be connected with GPRS for long periods of time, you are generally only charged for the information transferred.
  
  • One megabyte = 500 wap pages = 20 web pages = 25 emails, approximately.
  
  The Spanish Vodafone SIMs we provide are data enabled. This means that you may access data once the settings on your handset have been configured.If the device you use is 3G enabled then the SIM will operate at 3G speeds, providing 3G is available in that location, at the same £3.45/MB cost but obviously the experience will be quicker and more efficient than the GPRS links.
  
  Important: When using the 0044 Spain SIM for data activity on your handset, or in a laptop, it is vital that you manage your consumption of data carefully to avoid incurring high usage charges. We are able to obtain usage and cost updates from Vodafone Spain upon request by individual users but these may feature a time lag and therefore may not be accurate. Data usage is billed at £3.45/MB and therefore streaming live TV or audio, or remaining logged on for prolonged periods can result in high consumption and costs. For more controllable data usage we recommend you review our USB & MiFi based data solutions.The Spanish standard pay-monthly SIMs are currently not compatible with Apple iPhones and any service failures or costs incurred are the responsibility of the user in the event that an iPhone is used.

• Roaming

  For security reasons roaming is not available by default on the SIM card. However you can activate roaming on 48hrs notice by providing a deposit of £150.00 once in receipt of the SIM card. Once accepted it will cost 40p/min to make a call within the EU and 18p/min to receive a call.
