It might be worth looking into the Three network as they are including Spain from April on their free roaming service although it may be worth checking the terms and conditions to make sure there is not a limit to the time you can use it in the other country if she is going to be out there for a few months.

That way it will also be cheaper for people to call her unlike a Spanish SIM.

cheers mark it might be worth just getting a cheap phone and contract from three if thats the case i'll get her to look into that

just looked and thats no use lol
It's designed for UK residents who are on holiday or business trips abroad, not for extended periods abroad.

The Terms & Conditions says you can use the PAYG sim abroad in a Feels Like Home country for 3 months continually in any 12 month period so 2 sims will cover 6 months and get mum, dad or friend at home to service the account and top up and buy the add on’s.

Get phone unlocked and get a local SIM. If working over there should be plenty of advice.
