Mobile data in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands
Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera are part of Spain, so a Spain eSIM works on all four islands and on the ferries close to shore. Here is what changes depending on where your phone plan is from.

Will it work on my phone?
On iPhone: Settings → General → About, and scroll to EID. If there is an EID, your phone takes eSIMs. Every iPhone from the XS (2018) onwards does.
On Android: Settings → About phone → Status, and look for EID. If there is an EID, your phone takes eSIMs. Most Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 and later do.
It also has to be carrier-unlocked. If you bought it outright or your contract is over, it almost certainly is.

Which eSIM covers the Balearic Islands?
A Spain eSIM. It works in Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera on the same networks as mainland Spain: Orange (5G), Movistar (5G). Island-hopping needs nothing extra: the same eSIM keeps working when you land on the next island.
Coverage: beaches, coves and mountains
Palma, Ibiza town, the resorts and the main roads have good coverage. In the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca, in some hidden coves (calas) below cliffs and on boat trips further from the coast, signal can drop on any network. On ferries between islands it comes and goes with distance from land.
How much data?
- 3 GB: a week of maps, messaging and some social media.
- 5 GB: one to two weeks, including photo and video uploads.
- 10 GB: two weeks with video calls or streaming.
- 20 GB: a month or a summer season.

Does a Spain eSIM work in Ibiza and Formentera?
Yes. It covers all the Balearic Islands on the same networks as mainland Spain.
Will I have signal in the Serra de Tramuntana?
In villages like Sóller, Deià or Valldemossa usually yes; on remote trails and in deep valleys it can drop on any network, so carry offline maps.
Can I share the data with a laptop at my villa?
Yes, the eSIM allows hotspot. Video calls and streaming use more data, so pick 10 or 20 GB for that.
