Solved: O2 in Spain

Anonymous · ‎17-01-2018

I am going to Spain at the end of january and I am concerned that my iphone and ipad will be almost useless as on previous times........I was in france last october and 4G was non existant!! When I go to New Zealand I use Vodaphone sims in both devices.........do I need to do this for Francs and Spain??

You won't get 4g off your o2 sim but 3g works fine.
I am getting 18mbps on 3g in France which is fine for my needs.
I can't say what the speeds are in Spain as I haven't tried there but if your iPad has an o2 data sim, it won't work outside of the UK, only phone sims work outside of UK.

3G worked fine the last time I was in Spain, Connected to Movistar with no issues at all. I had to use WiFi for my tablets. . As WiFi is available pretty much all over the country in hotels, bars and restaurants, this wasn't a problem for me at all.
