PLEASE NOTE: The Google/HTC Nexus One (official website at http://www.htc.com/www/product/nexusone/overview.html ) and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (official website at www.sonyericsson.com/X10) are smart phones are advanced pieces of technology. You should have some experience with using smart phones if you plan to rent one from us.

The short answer is because using your phone in Spain will be WAY too expensive to use on your current providers roaming plan. DATA use on roaming tends to be especially expensive but our rentals use the local cell providers to keep costs down.

Check and send e-mail and browse the WWW on the go with our Google/HTC Nexus One (official website at http://www.htc.com/www/product/nexusone/overview.html) or Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (official website at www.sonyericsson.com/X10) smart phones. You can configure any e-mail accounts you like in the smart phones or we can do it for you before we deliver the phone. The Sony Ericsson runs the state of the art "Android" operating system developed by google.

 

Here are just some of the features of our smart phones...

- Web browser (easy web access). -  E-mail (access your own accounts).    - Maps with GPS (localization of your position and navigation instructions). - Facebook, Twitter, etc... direct access icons (use facebook and   twitter as if you were back home, update your friends on your travels through Spain). - Apps (check the weather, news, stocks, play games, etc... all via easy   to use apps). - Advanced digital cameras for photos and videos (Sony Ericsson Xperia   has an 8.1MP digital camera with flash and shoots video in HD. Also direct links to send your photos and videos via e-mail or share them on facebook. - WiFi (connect to any open WiFi network).

 

Additionally, because most of the hostels here do NOT have phones in the rooms and the hotels and ones that do will charge you an arm and a leg for both long distance & local calls! They charge you at least double what the phone company charges them, this is a worldwide phenomenon so don't play around and risk getting huge phone bills from the hostels/hotels.

 

If your current smart phone is GSM compatible and unlocked , odds are good that you can use it in Spain. If this is your case, please consider buying a prepaid voice/DATA Spain SIM card from our sister site at www.spainSIM.com.

 

Whether you are coming for business, traveling for pleasure, the added security of a smart phone is a huge plus.

 

With inexpensive calling rates, 800 FREE minutes to call back home and 100% FREE incoming calls (from anywhere in the world), it is easy to see the convenience of having a cell phone for your trip.

 

Keep in touch the easy way.
