More details would be great. Ok always on the lookout for a long-term EU sim card that can also roam abroad easily without fear of shutdown.

Yes I can reload online but it would cost €30 per reload. Vodafone offers several other deals. Even €15 bundle is gets you like 60 GB IIRC. These are promotional BTW, where they double the normal data amounts for the warmer months.

But once you buy it at a certain price level, you can only reload at that level.

The 28 GB roaming is for the EU, UK, Switzerland and US.

Maybe some Asian and African countries as well.


Wanted to add, Vodafone ES Twitter has good English support and answers your questions when you DM them.

They told me that you don't have to reload every month but if you leave it inactive for 6 months or so, they will deactivate the number tied to the SIM.

They route everything through Spain of course, when you do speed tests. Still good performance and I used it last year in France and I believe Switzerland. Definitely much better value for the volume of data per Euro compared to what you can get in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and some other countries.

Italy though is pretty competitive so it's worth getting a local SIM in Italy.
