Savvy travelers to Spain have long been enjoying the benefits of using a pay-as-you-go Spanish SIM card in their mobile phone to avoid roaming charges, but have often come unstuck with topping up process and maintaining their Spanish mobile number. Now a new solution from the company that introduced the PAYG Spanish SIM to the UK, 0044 Ltd, means that you no longer need to locate a retail outlet in Spain to top up and ensures that your number remains valid for as long as you make and receive calls.

0044.co.uk has introduced a new Spain Pay-monthly contract plan to provide a solution that means it is possible to have a Spanish SIM contract phone all set up and managed from the UK. 0044 provide a Spanish Vodafone SIM card on a new monthly contract which offers call rates as low as 6p/min, English voice mail, data facilities and means that you never have to ‘top up’ the phone at a store or risk the Spanish number expiring. The contracts are available on convenient 6 month deals and can be adopted by anyone using a standard UK or Spanish PAYG SIM card in their mobile to avoid roaming charges.

Angus MacLeod of 0044 Ltd commented, “Over the years we’ve managed to help thousands of people avoid roaming charges by providing a simple and easy to use pay-as-you-go Spanish SIM. However, with a growing number of people spending longer periods of time in Spain, or indeed relocating permanently, there has been an increasing demand for a more permanent and convenient solution to using your mobile phone while abroad. The new 0044 Spain Pay-monthly service means customers can set up a contract in the UK for as little as £6.99 per month and be confident that they’ll save a fortune compared to UK roaming charges whilst they use their mobile phone in Spain. Available March/April 2010.
