Data roaming in Spain
Wow, we’ve just done a quick comparison between GeoSIM and O2 for data roaming costs in Spain and we’re around eight times cheaper than O2!
For example, an O2 PAYG customer will pay £3 per MB, where as a GeoSIM customer will pay only £0.38 per MB.
O2 prices are hardly any better if you have a business or monthly contract. O2 charges £2.55 +vat for business contracts and £3.07 for pay monthly deals. Both business and pay monthly deals with O2 have usage caps of 50MB and maximum charge limit of £33.34 and £40 respectively.
GeoSIM has no limits and has an equivalent cost of just £19 for 50MB…but with no usage cap….and we use the very same networks to roam on as O2 in Spain.
Enough said….

How to set up your Smartphone, USB modem or tablet for Data Roaming
GeoSIM global SIM cards can be used in a multitude of devices for data roaming. Provided the device allows an Access Point Name (APN) to be set, then setting up for data roaming is quick and easy.
First locate the menu option on your device that allows you to set up a new APN or connection. For example, on Android devices this is under settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/Access point Names.
Actual menu options will vary depending on device, but you will only need to enter a couple of simple settings to allow your GeoSIM to provide your data roaming connection.
Give the new APN a logical name, for example “GeoSIM Data”, in the APN field, enter “mobiledata”
There is no need to enter any user name or password, IP address or DNS values.
Some devices such as USB Modems or USB Dongles will require a “number” to dial. If, so, enter *99#
Data roaming charges can be found at www.globalsimcard.co.uk and start at a few pence per MB in the USA.
