Frequently Asked Questions
Do I turn off data roaming when using an eSIM in Barcelona?
On your own SIM, yes; on the eSIM, no. Choose the eSIM as the line for mobile data and turn data roaming on for it, and keep your own SIM on for calls and texts with its data roaming off. With a SIM from an EU operator, roaming in Spain costs the same as at home within fair use, so you may not need an eSIM; from the UK, the US and most other countries, check your operator's roaming charges.

What our customers say

Mentions BarcelonaI used it smoothly and quickly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Bulgaria. Sparks connects to the most suitable network for your location at that moment, allowing for convenient use. Depending on your travel plans, annual options are very advantageous because it consumes very little internet data there, unlike in Türkiye.

Mentions Barcelonanice app. I used it during my travel in Spain last year and the internet speed was always good. I didn't have any issues. I now bought a package that covers both Portugal and Spain, as I am going there tomorrow.

Mentions BarcelonaI used it in Italy in 2024 and in Spain in 2026, and I was very satisfied. The app has improved day by day, and I never experienced any issues. I don't know about other apps, but I highly recommend MobiMatter. I bought 15GB of internet in Spain, and even though I didn't use that much, I still have 10GB left.

I used it for the first time with my wife during our trip to Japan and Korea, and I didn't experience any connection problems. The internet was fast enough in both Japan and Korea, and I was satisfied with the app. I recommend it.
