Hello, Hits Mobile is swallowed up by Masmovil, and the tariff and sim have to change. I use the Hits for incoming only, and they had a deal where you paid 5€ a year to keep your number alive, which was great. Trouble is I cannot make out what the tariffs are, as the link they sent me takes me to a page where I have to select  one of two options with no pricing, or go to a shop to swap out the SIM. Stuck in the UK for medical, so cannot do that.

Anyone in this Hits change position able to clarify what the tariffs are? I don't ever make calls on this phone as I use Skype and WhatsApp. But use for incoming.

Juansheetisplenty a good sum up. Re Hacienda I have paid my 210 via a Spanish Bank for 20 year seemlessly, then found they would not accept N26 or Starling for a Direct Debit, even with the Spanish IBAN. My work around was to say I was paying from a foreign bank (Starling) and enter these details in the online form. This produces a reference which you have to include on a manual payment to Hacienda. I did all this in December, so hoping it has been allocated correctly. But a complete pain.

btw Hacienda say the Bank account must be in the taxpayers name, or will be rejected. Not sure if this is adhered to, but it got the wife to open a Starling account.

Just a point of interest on the German N26 Bank.

As a German Bank they originally issued German IBAN's for Spanish accounts, they found that customers were frustrated that the Spanish would often object to this (wrongly so) but they came up with a solution that meant they did not have to change the Spanish psyche. They opened a Madrid office and offered Spanish IBAN's.

This is my part N26 IBAN ES89156326263932xxxxxxxx accepted by every entity I have offered it to.

KarenDyke I survive without a Spanish Bank using Starling/N26 combo, and pay all my bills from N26.

I found too many would not accept Starling GB IBAN, so instead of joining an action group or pushing against bureaucracy I gave up and opened a N26 account. With Spanish IBAN, accepted by all (except the Hacienda tax man).

Jarvi , figures not wrong, was unsure if fee was included with TW, and said so, you cleared that up, so within 1euro no difference.

KarenDyke £1000 put into your account this morning in Euros would be (after fees).......

Starling 1136.85€ (fee £4 included)   TransferWise 1137.47€ (fee £3.69 ??)

If the fee is added for TransferWise (never used, but that's what it looks like on their site), Starling is a slightly better conversion rate.
