Traditional Roaming Costs from Major Carriers
Spain in 2025: sun-soaked beaches, vibrant festivals, historic cities. But data roaming? That can get tricky. EU roaming regulations help, but international carriers still charge hefty fees. GoMoWorld makes it simple—instant data access in Barcelona or Madrid without hunting for SIM cards or worrying about surprise bills. eSIM plans start at €3.99. This guide shows you how to stay connected smart in Spain.
Spain is in the EU, so intra-EU roaming is generally free for European travelers. But non-EU visitors face steep charges from their home carriers. In 2025, traditional roaming adds up fast—daily caps often hide the real cost over longer stays. Check your plan before you leave. Here's what major international carriers charge in 2025. These fees show why eSIM alternatives like GoMoWorld make sense—predictable pricing, no surprises.
- EE (UK): £2.47/day for up to 25GB, then standard rates; fair usage limits free EU roaming to 30 days/year.
- AT&T (US): $12/day for International Day Pass;
- Verizon (US): $12/day TravelPass for unlimited data in Spain, capped at 5GB high-speed before throttling.
- T-Mobile (US): Free for plans with international perks, however speed is capped to 512MB
Pas stress: Enable data roaming alerts to avoid bill shock—traditional options can hit over €100 for a week!
Local Networks in Spain: Operators and Coverage
Spain has excellent mobile coverage in 2025. 5G is rolling out in urban areas like Madrid, Barcelona, and Costa del Sol. 4G LTE covers rural spots. Three main operators—Movistar, Vodafone, and Orange—cover 99%+ of the population. GoMoWorld partners with these networks to deliver reliable service through eSIMs—same high-quality access without swapping physical SIM cards.

Perfect
After a first trial in Montenegro a few years ago, we used GoMoWorld again this year in Turkey — another great success! We bought two eSIMs, one for me and one for my husband, and everything worked perfectly. I highly recommend GoMoWorld. Thank you so much!

I used this service two times in last several months, first time Europe plan (used in France), and the next one was for Spain. No problems, good coverage, mostly 5G. Very easy to set and to activate.

It saves me time and money
By using GoMoWorld eSIM I can just buy the plan for the country I'm visiting and activate it the night before traveling no need to find a wifi in my destination. I can also hotspot the plan with the kids

Recommended for travelling
So far, I've used GoMoWorld in several countries (USA, Guatemala, and Vietnam), and the coverage was good every time. It’s also consistently cheaper than other eSIM providers. Only in Mexico did we occasionally have connection issues, but I emailed them and they responded immediately with a suitable solution. I’m very happy with the service GoMoWorld offers and would recommend them to everyone.
