How Are Spanish Prepaid SIMs Tiered by Price in 2026?
The plans we compare cluster into three price tiers between EUR 5 and EUR 15 per billing cycle (October 2026). Use the tiers below to shortlist by budget before deciding on network and data needs.
Under EUR 8 per billing cycle
Digi (EUR 5 a month, 25 GB, Movistar), O2 (EUR 7 a month, 50 GB, Movistar), Simyo (EUR 7.50 a month, 50 GB, Orange). The cheapest tier, all no-contract with EU roaming included.
EUR 8 to 12 per billing cycle
Lowi (EUR 8 a month, 50 GB, Vodafone), Movistar (EUR 10 every 28 days, 60 GB, Movistar), Vodafone (EUR 10 every 28 days, 90 GB, Vodafone), Orange (EUR 10 every 28 days, 80 GB, Orange), Yoigo (EUR 10 every 28 days, 25 GB, Orange). The mid-tier, where the operators' own prepaid plans renew every 28 days.
Over EUR 12 per billing cycle
Lobster (EUR 12.99 every 28 days, 200 GB, Movistar), Pepephone (EUR 15 a month, 150 GB, Orange). The top tier, with the largest allowances in the catalogue.
Should You Pick Prepaid or a Contract SIM in Spain?
For most newcomers and short-term residents, prepaid (prepago) wins on price. Activation needs only a passport or NIE, there is no minimum term, and the cheapest plan (Digi at EUR 5 a month) is a fraction of the cost of an entry-level contract. O2 at EUR 7 a month for 50 GB and Lowi at EUR 8 a month for 50 GB cover almost all everyday and heavy-data use cases without a contract.
Contract SIMs (contrato) make more sense once you have a Spanish bank account and want a bundled fiber-and-mobile package, or if you are a heavy international caller who wants more inclusive minutes. Most Spanish contracts now advertise sin permanencia (no minimum term), which narrows the historic gap with prepaid. See our prepaid vs postpaid Spain guide for the full breakdown.
How Can You Pick the Right Prepaid SIM for Your Use Case?
If you are a budget user with light data needs
Use Digi at EUR 5 a month for 25 GB. If you want more of a buffer on roughly the same budget, O2 at EUR 7 a month for 50 GB on the Movistar network is the next step up.
If you are a heavy data user
Use Lobster at EUR 12.99 every 28 days for 200 GB on the Movistar network, the best value per euro on this list, or Pepephone at EUR 15 a month for 150 GB, billed by calendar month. None of the plans compared here is unlimited.
If you need rural or island coverage
Use Movistar Prepago Plus at EUR 10 every 28 days for 60 GB, with the widest own-network reach outside major cities. O2 at EUR 7 a month, which rides the Movistar network, is the budget alternative.
If you are a new arrival picking up a SIM quickly
Use Lowi at EUR 8 a month for 50 GB on the Vodafone network, activated fully online with just a passport or NIE and no address required.
If you want English-language support
Use Movistar or Vodafone, both EUR 10 every 28 days with English-language customer support and physical stores nationwide, unlike the budget MVNOs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest prepaid SIM card in Spain in 2026?
Digi is the cheapest plan we compare as of October 2026, at EUR 5 a month for 25 GB with 100 minutes. For 50 GB with unlimited calls, O2 costs EUR 7 a month, Simyo EUR 7.50 a month and Lowi EUR 8 a month on the Vodafone network. Each price was checked on the provider's own page.
Which Spanish prepaid SIM gives the most data per euro?

How much does a Spanish prepaid SIM cost per month?
The plans we compare cost EUR 5 to EUR 15 per billing cycle as of October 2026. Under EUR 8: Digi, O2, Simyo. EUR 8 to 12: Lowi, Movistar, Vodafone, Orange, Yoigo. Over EUR 12: Lobster, Pepephone. Plans that renew every 28 days are paid 13 times a year.
Is Digi cheaper than Movistar in Spain?
Yes. Digi at EUR 5 a month for 25 GB costs EUR 60 a year, against EUR 130 for Movistar Prepago Plus at EUR 10 every 28 days, which gives more data (60 GB). The trade-off is coverage: Movistar runs its own network with the widest rural and island reach, while Digi now runs its own network, rolling out since 2025, and roams on Movistar's network where its own coverage is still thin, so its real-world coverage stays close to Movistar's in most areas.
Can I get a prepaid SIM in Spain with EU roaming for under EUR 10 a month?
Yes. Digi (EUR 5), O2 (EUR 7), Simyo (EUR 7.50), Lowi (EUR 8) all include EU roaming under Regulation (EU) 2022/612 at no extra cost (October 2026). Fair-use limits can apply once you exceed a percentage of the domestic data allowance while roaming, so check current terms before a long trip.
