Spain Sim Card

XCom Global announces multi-country SIM card

If you read my review of the XCom Global MiFi Hotspot earlier this year, you'll know that I became a big fan while covering the 2011 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Sure, the service is pricey, but the reward was fast Internet wherever I went across the city.

In fact, I was so enamored that I recommended XCom to my colleague Dan Terdiman for his 2011 CNET Road Trip . Yet, in Dan's case, XCom's inability to cover multiple countries with one device proved to be a serious drawback.

Though I only had to take only one MiFi Hotspot to last me in Spain, he had to take a device for each of the seven countries he visited. Not only is that a lot of gear to carry, but also you have to pay for each device separately.

Fortunately, XCom was aware of the problem and this week it offered a workable solution with a "EuroSIM" that can fit in either the company's MiFi Hotspot or USB modem. Now you'll be able to use unlimited data across 40 European countries, form Finland down to Spain and from Iceland all the way to Cyprus. There are a couple of gaps in the Balkans, but the coverage area should include most everywhere you'll need to go (see XCom's site for the full list).

Though the rates will still add up if you have a long trip, we're glad to see that XCom doesn't charge extra for the all-in-one device. The initial rental fee is $17.95 per day for the MiFi Hotspot and $14.95 per day for the USB modem (members will pay $14.95 and $12.95). Extra fees can apply for shipping, insurance, and an extra battery, though shipping is waived for orders placed 10 days or more in advance.

An amount of one Gigabyte of flat rate internet access, which is valid for a period of thirty days, is part of the prepaid Spanish sim card starter package. Thirty days validity of one Gigabyte internet access is usually more than sufficient for people accessing the internet on their mobile phone or using the same payg Spain sim card on their computer to surf the web while in Spain.

The second benefit of the Spain sim card is that two travellers or friends who are travelling together to Spain and who have both purchased the HolidayPhone prepaid sim card for use during their stay in Spain can call each other on their mobile phones in Spain at a charge of six pence per minute. If there are more people travelling to Spain who have also purchased the prepaid Spanish sim card from HolidayPhone, they can then all call each other while they are in Spain at the six pence per minute rate.

The third benefit of the prepaid Spanish sim card is that it is already loaded with four pounds and eighty nine pence of call balance when the sim card is purchased and delivered to the owner by HolidayPhone. This pre-loaded call time of four pounds and eighty nine pence means that the owner of the prepaid sim card has a talking capacity of two hours of talk time on their phone when making calls to mobile phone to the United Kingdom only. If the two hours is used up, then the ‘top up’ vouchers can be bought at cafes and or shops located all around Spain.
