Prepaid Sim Card
Spain

Yes, it works. I am from USA. Order Holiday Orange card at least 2-3 weeks prior to departure. Orange requires you to register the card on their website with a PDF upload of your passport or there is a card to provide same info by mail to Orange in France. You can give your French phone number to family, hotels and others who you think may need to reach you. I inserted the nano SIM card (has multiple punch out sizes) in an UNLOCKED – this is key, I Phone 5S. It will NOT work with a phone that is locked to a USA service contract like AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. If you have an older I Phone 4s or higher out of contract you can get Verizon , AT&T etc to unlock an old phone and turn it into your travel phone for future use. I use an Iphone 7s in USA which under contract with them, I kept my out of contract IPhone 5S- and had AT&T unlock it – by law they now have to give you an unlock code- if you ask for it. Otherwise you will need to purchase an UNLOCKED phone somewhere like on Amazon, EBay etc. You can get an older Iphone for about $100 . I turned phone on when I touched down in Madrid Airport- your 2 weeks starts . Do not turn your phone on prior to departure in the USA! Got 3G , 4 bar, signal in Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Toledo, and San Sebastián Spain. I also made phone calls within Spain as well. This was the best purchase of my trip as a solo, single, female traveler. Internet, Google Maps, Access to stored train tickets on Renfee, Airline Scaned Tickets was key for me. Just remember to keep a battery back up to recharge your phone because you will use it a lot to e mail and or send pictures home and to your friends.

We read a lot of reviews, not all positive to be frank. Eventually we decided to buy our SIM cards for Europe with SimOptions. Easy to purchase online, delivery was quick and worked well. Signal for the Orange SIM in both Spain and Italy was great. I would definitely buy this again.
