Why is 4g not available while in Spain

[Anonymous]

Why is it that I can't get 4g while roaming in Spain? I'm here with a mate and he is on Vodafone back in the U.K. he has got constant 4g. I've not seen it once, we pay £1.99 a day, l believe one of the more expensive roaming charges, so why is it O2 cannot provide the best service for this!? What was also amusing was that while trying to write this out on my iPhone on 3G I seemed to use all my daily allowance and then get blocked from getting on the forum!

Still the same palaver in France and some other countries that I know of.

Not just Europe. In most countries you need a passport and there is now talk here of a special tourist sim so that the government (the army) can track your movements.
