Your plan is automatically renewed every 28 days, as long as you have sufficient balance. 

If you run out of data before the automatic renewal, you can reactivate the benefits of your plan by renewing early, i.e., by paying your plan fee. This means that the period starts again and you can continue browsing at maximum speed.

How do I request a reactivation of my data:

You can do so at any time, using the following options:

Using command *111#

• Dial *111# on your keypad and answer 3 if you want to renew your plan early.
• You will be sent information on the conditions of the plan. You will only have to respond 1 and your tariff will be renewed.

Free SMS to 1470

By sending a free SMS to 1470 with the following words:

• Orange Prepaid 5: PAGO 5
• Orange Prepaid 10: PAGO 10
• Orange Prepaid 15: PAGO 15
• Orange Prepaid 20: PAGO 20

How can I find out how much data I have left and when it renews?

You can view the remaining MB and your renewal date by sending a free SMS to 1470 with the word GB followed by the name of your plan.

For example: GB 10 for Orange Prepago 10, GB 15 for Orange Prepago 15, GB 20 for Orange Prepago 20

Remember that you can also go into the Mi Orange app and select the number you want to get information about. 

The data in your plan will roll over automatically at the end of the 28 days so you can use it for an additional 28 days. 

Rolled over data is always used first before your plan data, so you can make the most of it.

You can view the total data rolled over from your customer area or by dialling *111#.

When can you start rolling over data?

When you make your payment, you will be able to automatically roll over any leftover data for another 4 weeks.

If you have an old plan and change to a plan that rolls over the data, as soon as you make your payment, you can roll over any leftover data for 28 days.

When do you not roll over data?

If you don't pay for your plan on the automatic reactivation date (at the end of the 28 days).

If you switch from a plan that rolls over data to another that also rolls over data, the rolled over data will be lost.

If you reactivate your plan before the end of 28 days, you will lose the rolled over amount.

Roaming is the service that allows you to use your mobile phone when you travel abroad. 

An international call is when you make a call from Spain to a mobile or landline in another country.

Here is an example to show you the difference:

If you are travelling in France...

Call made from France to Spain: If you call a landline or mobile number in Spain, that call will cost the same as if you were calling from Spain.

Call made from France to another European Union country: If you call any European Union country, for example Germany, this call is considered roaming and, as it is included in your tariff, there will be no cost, provided you have renewed your tariff and minutes available. If you have not renewed or you have no minutes left, you will pay the price per minute based on the plan you have.

Countries included in zone 1 (EEA):

With your line, you can use the features of your plan in the following countries:

Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland (including the Åland Islands), France (including Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, French Guiana, Réunion and Mayotte), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy and the City of Mayotte Vatican, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal (including Madeira and Azores), Czech Republic, Romania and Sweden.

Calls issued and received in zone 1 will be free, provided they are made by someone who is also in zone 1, as well as the voicemail messages you receive.

Your usage while roaming in the European Union, Gibraltar, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway will be deducted from your plan's minutes and data. You will not pay for the calls received or for listening to voicemail messages.

If you use the available data for roaming, the regulated average price will be applied (see your plan for details).

For your number, roaming and international call services are activated by default.

Remember that: In order to browse abroad, you must have the data roaming service activated on your mobile phone menu.

What if I call a country that is not in zone 1?

In this case, the corresponding tariff will apply according to the destination country, depending on whether it is in zone 2 or zone 3. 

If you are travelling outside zone 1, we recommend that you activate Everywhere, the roaming savings module that lets you stay in touch, even if you travel far away. With Everywhere you only pay on the day you browse, make or receive calls. Activation is free of charge and there is no minimum commitment. 

Do I have to pay for calls I receive in roaming in zone 1?

Calls you receive when you are in zone 1 will have no cost for you, regardless of the country from which the call comes.

Which calls are not included?

· Video calls.

· Calls to premium services and numbers of all types in the country visited, premium Español numbers: premium numbers (906, 806...) and numbers 900, 901, 902 (it is advisable to search for the equivalent local landline number to these 900 numbers, to ensure that the call is at the same price as in Spain). Calls to these numbers (90X) can have high rates if they are made in roaming.

· The roaming service does not include calls made or received through operators that provide maritime, air and satellite services. You can use your phone when you travel on cruise routes. These networks operate exclusively when the ships are out of reach of the terrestrial networks. Maritime coverage calls have an associated cost of €10.31/min including VAT plus a call connection charge of €0.73 including VAT. As soon as land cover is detected due to the ship's proximity to the coast, the maritime service stops.

Is there any limit for using my tariff while roaming in zone 1?

You can use your tariff when travel to any of the countries in zone 1 within the limits of reasonable or non-abusive use according to the new European regulation and, where applicable, according to the limits included in each tariff.

But what is considered abusive use?

There are several types of use that are considered abusive and that carry an additional fee for mobile roaming use in the EEA. Basically, abusive use will be considered if you meet the following condition:

Your consumption and presence in roaming is more than your consumption and national presence in the last four months.

We will never start to apply additional roaming charges without first sending you an SMS notification. This surcharge will never be applied to consumption made before the notification; it will only apply for the use of future roaming data.

When will I be able to reuse my EEA roaming tariff without additional charges?

At the beginning of each month, we will review your roaming usage pattern again to check that it is no longer abusive. We will then send you an SMS to notify you of the end of the extra charges. From that moment on, you can use your tariff again in the EEA at no additional cost.

If roaming consumption remains outside the reasonable use policy, surcharges will continue to apply in the pricing of roaming data in the EEA.

This surcharge only applies to the numbers that engaged in the abusive consumption

To call abroad from Spain, follow these steps:

1. Mark the + sign or the code 00 (on most phones if you leave the 0 button, the + sign appears).
2. Add the country code you want to call.
3. Enter the phone number you want to call.
4. Press the call start key.

Example: How to call a German phone number from Spain:

00 + 49 (German prefix) + number you want to call + call start key

Please note that: 

• If you are calling a Español mobile phone, even if it is currently abroad, you don't have to dial any prefixes! You just need to dial the 9 numbers of the destination mobile phone (6XXXXXXXX), regardless of its location.

Important: Differences between national and international calls and roaming:

• National call: It is a call made from a Español mobile phone located in Spain to another Español mobile phone.
• International calls are calls made from Spain to numbers from foreign countries.
• Roaming: This takes place when we travel to another country and use our Español mobile phone to talk or browse.

• How do I set up the APN for a Mundo SIM? 

Its technical name is APN, which stands for "Access Point Name." This is the profile that we need to set up on our mobile phone or tablet if we want to enjoy the data pass of our mobile tariff with our SIM Mundo card. 

For mobile phones purchased on Orange, or unlocked phones acquired in Spain, nothing needs to be configured, just insert the SIM card and the device will configure itself when it connects to the Orange mobile network. 

Remember that if you have purchased your mobile phone abroad, the device may not have been approved for use on mobile networks in Spain, and it cannot be guaranteed that the mobile internet profile will work, even if it has been configured correctly on paper. 

The general parameters of the APN for an Orange SIM are: 

Name: Orange Internet Mobile 

APN: orangeworld 

Username: orange 

Password: orange 

MCC: 214 

MNC: 03 

Authentication type: PAP 

APN type: default 

Remember that: In some phone models, the type of APN has options to select. In this case, select the "Internet" option. On phones unlocked by an operator you may not be able to save this APN. Only change the MNC value to 07 if it is unlocked by Movistar and 01 if it is unlocked by Vodafone. Moreover, if sharing the internet is not working with this configuration, change the type of APN to default,dun. 

Important: if your mobile phone is a Xiaomi with a MIUI9 operating system, in the menu of your phone, go to SETTINGS/MOBILE NETWORKS/ORANGE/ACCESS POINT NAMES. Go to ORANGE MOBILE INTERNET and for OMV TYPE choose IMSI. Finally, tap MORE and SAVE. 

• How can I change my SIM card PIN? 

From the call option on your mobile phone, mark the following code: 

**04*oldPIN*newPIN+newPIN# 

• If I don't remember my SIM PIN, how do I set a new one? 

If you don't remember your SIM PIN code, you need to know at least the PUK code of your SIM to change it. Once the PUK code has been found, you will have to enter the following sequence from your mobile phone's call option: 

**05*PUK*newPIN*newPIN# 

• If you don't remember the PUK code, go to How do I get my PUK code?
• If you have blocked your PIN code, go to How do I get my PUK code? 
• How do I get my PUK code? 

If you need the PUK code, it's because you have blocked your SIM's PIN code. Don't worry, here's how you can get the PUK code and change your PIN. 

On the SIM box: 

On the plastic case on which you received your SIM card. This is the 8-digit number on the right of the PIN.

By calling 1470 

You can call from another Orange mobile line, which is not blocked, or call 656001470 from another operator's line, and follow these steps: 

The automatic voice will ask you which number you want to make your enquiry about: Enter the phone number of the mobile line on which you want to view the PUK. 

Now, the voice will ask you for the subject of your inquiry, say clearly "View PUK." 

At this point, the voice will ask you to state the identification document number of the owner of the number. 

If it is valid, the voice will provide you with the 8 digits of the PUK. You can hear it again if you wish, and if you call from a cell phone, you will receive an SMS with the PUK on the phone you are calling from. 

In the Mi Orange APP 

 If your SIM card is blocked, you will be able to access the Mi Orange App with your phone using a Wi-Fi connection, and you will also be able to use the Mi Orange App from another mobile phone, by logging in with your username and password in the Customer Area. Follow these steps to locate your PUK code: 

On the main screen, select the My Number icon, where the name of your tariff appears. A new screen will open, where you will find the PUK code at the bottom.  

• How do I enter the PUK code to unlock my SIM? 

Once you have the PUK, type it in the call menu of the mobile phone with the SIM blocked: 

If a message is displayed on the mobile phone screen asking for the PUK, enter the code and follow the steps indicated. 

If no message appears, you must enter the following sequence:

*05*PUK*newPIN*newPIN# 

Remember that: The new PIN must always be different from the previous one. If it is the same, unlocking by PUK will not work. In addition, if you enter the PUK code incorrectly 10 times in a row, the SIM card will be blocked permanently and will need to be replaced with a new one. 

• What do I do if my phone is stolen or lost?  

Block the number  

If your phone is lost or has been stolen, it is very important that you block your number as soon as possible so that nobody can use it. Once the number has been blocked, no one can make or receive calls, or send SMS, or any other type of activity from your number, so no usage is generated 

We'll explain how to using several ways: 

In the Mi Orange APP 

By calling 1470: 

You can call 1470 from another Orange mobile number, or call 656001470 from another operator's line 

The automatic voice will ask you which number you want to make your enquiry about: enter the phone number of the mobile line on which you want to view the PUK. 

Now, the voice will ask you for the subject of your inquiry, say clearly "Block number." 

The call will be answered to by an agent, who will help you through the process 

Get a duplicate SIM 

You need a duplicate SIM card to continue using your number. Visit your nearest Orange store, check our store locator. And if you do not have a store nearby, call 1470. 

Don't forget: 

Getting a duplicate SIM card has a €5 handling fee (including VAT). 

Your new card will be activated in store once you have shown your ID. If your ID has been stolen, lost or has expired, you can show your passport to identify yourself. In our Orange stores, your number will also be unblocked if you have blocked it so that it cannot be used after the loss or theft 

Important: If you have found the phone, you do not need to duplicate the SIM. Just unblock the number if you have blocked it. 

• Everything you need to know about voicemail  

You have a free vociemail service that you can check whenever you want with a single call to 242. The mailbox is activated by default when you register and you can deactivate it free of charge.  

• How do I listen to voicemail messages on my Orange mobile phone? 

Call 242 free of charge from your number; even though the call is free, you need to have balance to make it.  

• If I am abroad or calling from another mobile phone, how do I contact 242?

If you call the mailbox from another cell phone, the number you must dial is 656242242, and if you are calling from abroad, you must call + 34656242242. If you are abroad, calling your voicemail is at the cost of a call to Spain from the country where you are. Remember that you can use the benefits of your plan both in Spain and when roaming in countries in the European Economic Area.

You will have to enter the phone number from which you want to listen to the messages, and you will then be asked to enter your password to your voicemail followed by the hash key (#). 

Remember that before you can listen to your voicemail messages from another phone, you must first access it from your own Orange mobile line by dialling 242, so that we can send you your access password by SMS. 

If you have forgotten or lost your password, call 1470 (1471 for businesses) to get a new password. 

• How do I change my personalized greeting and the language of my mailbox?

You can change your greeting by calling 242: select option 2 from the menu (change greeting) and then option 1 (personalized greeting). 

You can change the mailbox language by calling 242: select option 3 (set up mailbox) and then option 4 (change language).

• On what line is the data consumed? 

El iPhone puede establecer una sesión de datos desde cualquiera de las líneas, simplemente hay que configurar en Ajustes->>Datos móviles la configuración por defecto y se puede cambiar en cualquier momento. 

Cuando se recibe una llamada en la línea configurada por defecto, se interrumpen los datos pero se puede configurar para para que pase a la otra línea (En Ajustes->>Datos Móviles->>Datos Móviles, en la opción de Cambio a datos móviles). Orange recommends disabling this option if you want to avoid unexpected roaming costs when travelling. 

• From which line are calls made? 

Las llamadas se hacen desde la línea configurada por defecto en Ajustes ->>Datos móviles, en la opción voz por omisión. However, when a call is made before dialling, the line from which the call will come can change. The line to be used for each contact can also be adjusted. 

• Can I receive SMS from the 2 lines? 

Yes, you can receive SMS on each of the lines. Por defecto los SMS se emiten desde la línea configurada por defecto en Ajuste->>Datos móviles en la opción voz por omisión. The line to be used for each contact can also be adjusted. 

• Can I set the default line for each contact?

Initially, all contacts are assigned to the line that is configured by default for calls. You can then change the settings contact to contact, to use a default line or to use the same line as the last call. 

• Can I have several numbers on the eSIM? 

Yes, several eSIM cards from several operators can be stored in the eSIM. However, only one can be active, so Dual SIM will always work with a physical SIM and one of the eSIM cards stored. 

• How do I change my eSIM card if I have several stored?

Entra en Ajustes->>Datos Móviles, clica en el plan que quieras activar y marca “Activar esta línea”. This action means disabling the eSIM line that was previously active and is practically instant. 

• Will I notice any difference if I change my SIM for an eSIM? 

No, the same number, the same tariff and all the services you had in the SIM will be kept. 
The physical SIM card is cancelled and replaced by the eSIM. 
The only exception is Mobile Connect for access to Mi Orange without a password that is initially unavailable. 

• What do I do if I have to repair my iPhone? 

eSIM cards are not reinstallable, so if you have to send your iPhone off for repair, first remove and save your SIM, delete the data plan from the eSIM cards and send off your iPhone. When you're picking up the repaired iPhone at the Orange store, don't forget to ask for a duplicate of your eSIM card. You'll need to scan the QR code that we provide you (see how I activate the eSIM on my iPhone). 

• Can I use iMessage and Facetime on both lines? 

No, it is only possible on one line, by default on the line that is set in the initial configuration, although it can be changed from Messages.

• Can I go back to the traditional SIM? 

Yes, to do this you have to ask for a SIM to replace the eSIM in an Orange store. 

• Can I delete my eSIM card? 

Sí, se puede borrar en Ajustes->>Datos Móviles, seleccionado un plan y después pulsando “Eliminar el plan de datos móviles” y confirmando. However, this does not cancel the line or change the tariff that will continue to be billed. To cancel the line, please call Orange Customer Service.
