Hi,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve had a few questions related to SIM cards.\u00a0 So this was my experience based on walking the Camino Frances in 2015 (From St Jean).<\/p>\n

I pre purchased SIM cards for France and Spain. \u00a0I didn’t want to wait until hitting the first major town before being able to get a SIM card.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The French SIM I used for a few days in France and in St Jean.\u00a0 Then swapped over to the Spanish SIM when I got to Roncesvalles.\u00a0 Both SIM’s worked well.\u00a0\u00a0 Both included voice and data.<\/p>\n

The French one I bought from:\u00a0Le French Mobile<\/a><\/p>\n

and the Spanish one from: SimCardSpain<\/p>\n

I ordered these before I left Australia, and they just arrived in time.\u00a0 Took 7-10 days.\u00a0 I would use both these companies again.<\/p>\n

It took me a while to work out how to ‘recharge’ the Spanish one….\u00a0 I used a lot of data uploading videos to my blog, calling my wife on Skype etc.\u00a0 Most small shops do the recharge!\u00a0\u00a0 Just ask for ‘Telefono Recarga’<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 Hand over 5e 10e or whatever you need and tell them the network you are using.\u00a0 I used Vodafone.\u00a0 They will do the recharge and you’ll get a text message telling you the recharge amount and how much credit you have remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
