Thanks, have just looked this up. Think HITS may be cheaper?

We use Hits. We can call with other Hits user for free . Just pay the connection charge and then it’s free for the duration of the call. Good coverage too.
Happy in the sun.

I am with hits
They have good packages
4.90 a month for 3gig data
Plus 1000 free minutes to Spanish numbers
They do different ones but this suits me and I have yet to use up my allowances in any one month

Price, price, price, why always a race to bottom?
Price is completely irrelvent if you don't have a service so the first step in choosing a provider has to be determining which of the 4 core operators (Vodafone, Orange, Movistar, and Yoigo) actually provide a usable signal at your exact location, all other providers ride the coat tails of one of those.
Sometimes the only practical way to find out who that is is to buy a one off prepaid SIM from each and try them out!
That's what I did and despite the operators coverage maps all showing fair to good coverage Moviestar was the only one which actually lived up to it so that's where I went for both our phones - until Lobster arrived on the scene that is and with them being on the Moviestar network I switched and saved €11/mth.
Beware also that just because 3rd party providers operate through one of the big 4 that does not automatically mean that their service will equal them, commonly you might see that in below par internet performance.
Before switching to Lobster to check them out fully I obtained one of their basic €12/mth SIMs and in addition to testing it locally I also took it on a brief visit to UK where it worked perfectly.

We've used hits for years never had a problem and also find them cheap and works perfectly well in the uk. So you have fair price and quality service without a race to the bottom
