Dual sim

[Ww1]

I have just purchased an iPhone 12.  I'm on pay monthly, I want to add a Spanish sim and use the dual sim facility.  How do I do this please and what kind of sim should I get.  Thanks

You need to convert your O2 sim to an eSim which leaves the physical sim slot free to insert any other sim card.

Call O2 or call in store to get your O2 eSim for free.

Hi @Ww1 

When we are allowed back into Spain you will need to buy a Spanish PAYG sim. You just insert it into the other sim slot.

There are numerous phone shops in Spain. The network is usually Movistar.

When you buy the sim you will need your passport with you. If you go to the phone shop without your passport, you won't be allowed to buy it. (Spain are really strict on sim and phone security.

Most of the shops speak English so make sure they insert it and get it working before you levve the shop.

You will be able to top up online bearing in mind the website will be in Spanish. Or you can do top ups instore.
