Hi all, I have a pay as you go smartphone without any data in 02. I normally get data using my home or work WiFi.

I am traveling to Spain next week and I would need to have access to data in my phone. What would be the cheapest way to do so? I want to be back to normal once I am back into the UK

@North you need credit or a bundle allowance of data.
How much you'll be using will determine the cheapest option.

Unless you are travelling to an isolated area in Spain you could also use WiFi. It's literally everywhere. Bars, Restaurants, Hotels, Apartments etc etc etc.

Just a suggestion. wink

See link above @North.
You use UK allowances in EU.

Oh I see, so using this data in the UK or in Spain will come to the same cost? No extra cost while using it in Spain?
