You can buy them all over .

Amazon UK or Amazon ES..........

Be very careful that you are buying a dual SIM phone.

Its not always obvious.

Do I need a mobile phone for UK and separate one for Spanish?? 🤔

Angie, I,ve had a dual sim mobile(Samsung note 4) for 5years approx and there's no difficulty switching between sims at all, and both sims are active all the time to receive calls. My Uk provider is Tesco and I get home from home use with all Spanish landline and mobile calls covered in contract which was a sim only contract as I already had the phone from new but just needed to change from 3(as I couldnt get signal in Uk home). Tesco uses O2 signal which solved my problem. If you have a spanish bank account they now need a spanish number to call now the new security systems have become active where they send a code for access, so a spanish sim is really necessary. I have a house alarm(Uk wired in one) which has a spanish hits sim that calls my hits sim in my phone if activated. There are many dual sim models on the market, not so many in Uk but many in Spain.

Regards

Pauline.
