Where we live we have no wifi and because we are only renting for a short while do not want a landline fitted. We are using our UK mobiles for the internet but want to buy a Spanish simcard. We are not ver savvy with technology but in a nutshell will only be using the Spanish one for the internet but do want to be able to log onto Netflix as the tv is only Spanish. Can anyone advise on the best way and if there are any English speaking phone companies in Oliva or Gandia

Very helpful member
As for Spanish tv, use the audio button on the tv controls, to revert back to English on some channels.

Thank you for that. As I say I am not savvy with these things at all and may sound a bit stupid but what do I ask for?

If you go into somewhere like PC Box and ask for a 4g router and a data sim card they will be able to help I think, it might depend on where you are but if you can get a phone signal it should work, ask them

There are some internet WIFI service providers who advertise that you only pay for what you use whilst you are visiting Spain. I think they are geared up for people who own holiday homes etc.
I can't help you with company names but maybe another poster can help.

Hi Kathy,
My friends are in your situation. They moved to Spain a couple of months ago with their UK mobiles. They've switched to Spanish SIM cards and use Google Chromecast, downloaded onto their phones, in order to 'cast' (play) from their Netflix account onto their TV via their phones. I've tried it too and it's surprisingly easy to do (but note that this is for Android phones, rather than Apple):

Kind regards,
Kim
