HelloRoam eSIM vs Telstra and Optus roaming in the Canary Islands
Cost comparison for Australians visiting the Canary Islands.

|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$3.97 total | — | — |
| Details | Plans start at A$3.97 for Spain. Activate at home and arrive at your island airport already connected. Covers all seven Canary Islands and mainland Spain. | Movistar or Orange tourist SIMs cost 10 to 20 EUR and require ID at a Spanish store. An eSIM activates instantly from Australia without any in-Spain registration. | Telstra's International Day Pass adds a fee for every day you roam in Spain. On a two-week Canary Islands winter sun holiday, those daily charges add up fast. A HelloRoam eSIM is far better value. |

Best time to visit the Canary Islands from Australia
The Canary Islands have warm weather year-round with temperatures rarely dropping below 18 degrees. The best time for beach weather is May to October with temperatures sitting at 24 to 28 degrees.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
