Mobile - Spanish Pay-As-You-Go SIM cards

6th May 2008

You may have recently read or heard about new Spanish legislation regarding the registration of Pay-As-You-Go Spanish SIM cards under new Spanish anti-terrorism laws.

Whilst there are key deadlines to register by there is an extensive period of grace for existing SIM users up to November 2009.

If further network updates are provided then we will update all 0044 customers via email accordingly.

However, in the meantime we strongly recommend that you act now to register your Vodafone SIM if you have not already done so.

This can be done by taking your Spanish Vodafone SIM and identification (ideally a passport) to any Spanish Vodafone store the next time you visit Spain and before November 2009. You may then request that the SIM is registered in accordance with the new laws and continue to use it in the normal manner. The deadline for completing the registration is 8th November 2009 via a Spanish Vodafone store otherwise the network will terminate the number permanently and any credit will be lost. This is the only registration process available and needs to be carried out locally in Spain, at a Vodafone store, in person.

For customers who have purchased a Happy Movil SIM during 2008 the registration and activation must be completed in accordance with the user guides provided.

Please ensure you act now to ensure your SIM is registered and service maintained.
