To register with a telephone company in Spain you will need to provide some basic documentation and meet a series of requirements. In this post we will tell you how to contract a mobile line in Spain with any operator.

Which company is best for me?

Before contracting a cell line, it is logical that this question arises. For this, it is best to do an internet screening of all possible options. It is common for large companies to regularly have offers available for new customers. If you are clear about your budget, it is a matter of seeing how far it reaches us in each of the operators and seeing which one offers us the best benefits.

Once you have it clear, contact the company online, by phone or in person at one of its physical points. The main telephone companies in Spain are: Movistar, Vodafone, Orange and Yoigo.

What do I need to register with a company?

The requirements required to contract a mobile line are usually quite similar between companies. In addition, depending on whether we want a prepaid card (rechargeable) or a contract card, they will require one type of documentation or another.

In general terms, the documentation that will be required of us will be:

• Registration form
• Photocopy of your NIF, Residence Card or Passport
• Bank account number

If you are a foreigner, they will also ask you for your visa and your place of registration. Be that as it may, consult each company specifically so that they can help you in the best possible way.

How long will it take to activate the mobile line?

Registration with a telephone company is automatic. As soon as you have submitted the required documentation, you will become a customer of the operator you have chosen. From there, everything will depend on how long it takes to pick up (or take to send you) your SIM card. In addition, if you have contracted a line with internet that requires fiber optic installation, you must make an appointment at your home with a specialized technician from the company.

Conclusion

Becoming a client of an operator is a simple process that does not require much work. It depends on the contract you choose, you must have a certain permanence with the company or not. There are different promotions that allow you to obtain, together with your contracted mobile line, a mobile device at zero or very cheap cost.

As in any contracting process, we recommend that you be patient and search carefully to find the option that best suits your budget.
