Installing your internet can only be done by Movistar as they are the only company authorised in Spain to install a telephone wires, so whoever you sign up to be your internet provider, Movistar will send a workman to connect you.

The Movistar website, along with most the other main companies has a search tool that allows customers to check if they can get internet in their area. Unfortunately  the website is in Spanish. If you live in a new house there may be long delays for installation. Many people have been caught out like this.

Before moving into an Villa or flat, check  there is a line (Having a phone port does not mean a line is installed, just the telephone port it). Where a phone line is functioning and “live” it is possible (and less expensive) to transfer the account from the name of the previous occupant to the new one. A nice quick way to save money as well.

You can request a transfers online at the Movistar website and can be submitted up to two months in advance of the moving. Customers moving within the same Movistar tariff zone may be able to keep their previous Movistar phone number.
