5G whilst roaming in Spain
- 15-03-2023
Having just returned from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, I can confirm that data there is 3G and 4G (no 5G). My phone used both Movistar and Orange networks whilst roaming there, and Orange gave me 4G speed more consistently.
My phone didn’t use data excessively either. I used hotel Wi-Fi and public Wi-Fi too (to keep my usage down), but out and about it was the same as at home.

I am in Gran Canaria and using SMARTY running for the first time I’m only getting 3G fellow speeds. Where is my wife who is on Giffgaff is getting a stunning 5G service.
