Frequently asked questions
The questions we get most, with the short answer.
Fibre
Where does Don Rayo have fibre coverage?
We install fibre across much of Tenerife, with our own installation from A to Z. Whether it reaches you at home depends on the exact address: check the coverage page on our website, or write to us on WhatsApp and we will check it with you.
What speed will I browse at?
Depending on the plan, up to 300, 600 or 1,000 Mb symmetric: the same upload and download speed. That is the maximum speed over a cable; over WiFi, and depending on the device and the installation, the actual speed may be lower. Real fibre all the way to your home, without ADSL or copper along the way.
What does the actual speed I get depend on?
On several factors: the distance to the node, the internal layout of your house, interference, the equipment you use, and above all, the WiFi connection (via WiFi you can lose an average of 50% speed compared to cable) and the congestion of the service you are connecting to. To get the most out of it, use a cable to connect the devices that need the most speed.
Is the router you install free?
Yes, you don't have to pay anything for it: we provide you with a WiFi 6 router on loan, included in the service.
What is included in my fibre installation?
Everything: a WiFi 6 router, configuration, wiring, accessories, and the travel and installation by one of our technicians. Standard installation is free; if yours needs more, we tell you first and agree it with you. If you cancel your fibre before your minimum term ends, the installation is charged.
Is the line fee included?
Yes, the line fee is included in the service price.
Does Don Rayo fibre include a landline?
Yes, it includes a landline (optional) at no extra cost, with unlimited calls to national landlines and 60 minutes to mobiles. Once those 60 minutes are up, calls to mobiles are billed as on the current price list.
Will I be able to keep my current landline number?
Yes, your landline number will stay the same.
Does Don Rayo fibre have a minimum commitment period?
Yes: 12 months if you take the fibre on its own, and 3 months if you take it in a pack with mobile. The term covers the installation cost; after it, the service continues month to month and you can cancel whenever you want.
Mobile
What mobile coverage does Don Rayo have?
Don Rayo uses our network partner's network, an operator with its own mobile network, with 4G and 5G. To find out how it reaches your area, write to us on WhatsApp and we'll look at it with you.
What happens when I use up all the data in my plan?
You don't lose connection: your speed is reduced to 128 Kbps until the end of the month, at no extra cost, so you can keep using messaging and emergencies. If you need more speed, you can add an extra data pass (500 MB, 1, 3, 5 or 10 GB) at any time.
What is the fair use policy?
Unlimited calls are for personal use. The fair use limit is 120 different destinations in the same month and 3.000 minutes of traffic. Once this limit is exceeded, or in case of non-personal use (switchboards, SIMBOX, etc.), the standard rate applies, as on the current price list.
Will I be charged if I go over the minutes in my plan?
Only for usage subject to the standard rate, as on the current price list. National calls for personal use are unlimited.
Do Don Rayo mobile plans have a minimum commitment period?
No. None of our mobile plans have a minimum commitment period: you can pause or cancel whenever you want, and change your plan every 30 days.
Will I lose my connection during the porting process?
Practically not. The change is made in the early hours of the morning (between 02:00 and 06:00), so the downtime is very brief and at night.
My number porting was rejected, why?
The most common reasons are: incorrect account holder details, the applicant not being the line holder, unpaid bills with the previous operator, or the line already being cancelled. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll check it with you.
How long does it take to process a number porting to Don Rayo?
Your number is active with us within at most 2 working days of signing.
What are the PIN and PUK?
The PIN is the code you enter every time you turn on the phone to unlock the SIM. If you enter it wrong 3 times, the SIM locks and it will ask for the PUK to unlock it. You'll find both on your SIM card holder, or we can provide them if you need them.
Does the Don Rayo SIM work for any phone?
Yes. The SIM adapts to all three formats—Mini-SIM, Micro-SIM, and Nano-SIM—so it is valid for any mobile phone.
Can I share my mobile data connection?
Yes, our plans allow sharing data (tethering) and using VoIP. On Android: Settings > Connections (or Network & Internet) > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > turn on WiFi Hotspot. On iPhone: Settings > Personal Hotspot > turn on Allow Others to Join.
Do gigabytes roll over from one month to the next?
No, at the moment our gigabytes do not roll over. Every month you start with your full gigabytes.
Are there extra data passes available?
Yes. If you run out of gigabytes, you can add an extra data pass (500 MB, 1, 3, 5 or 10 GB) and keep browsing at full speed.
How do I activate or deactivate voicemail?
Voicemail allows you to receive messages when you can't answer a call. To activate or deactivate it, message us on WhatsApp and we'll set it up with you, or check your device's short codes guide.
How do I activate call waiting?
From your mobile's keypad: to activate it, dial *43# and call; to deactivate it, dial #43#; to check the status, dial *#43#.
How do I activate call forwarding if the line is busy?
From your mobile's keypad: to activate it, dial *67*forwarding number# and call; to deactivate it, dial #67#; to check the status, dial *#67#.
VoLTE & eSIM
Is eSIM available on Don Rayo?
Today the lines you take with us come with a physical SIM: we give you the card, and we do not offer the eSIM for your line yet.
Is there any cost to activate the eSIM for your line?
The eSIM for your line has no activation or usage cost, but we do not offer it yet: today the lines you take with us come with a physical SIM.
What are the advantages of an eSIM?
Those of the eSIM for your line, once we offer it: immediate activation without waiting to receive a physical SIM, greater security and durability (it cannot be removed or damaged), and less environmental impact by not using plastic.
Is the eSIM compatible with the Apple Watch?
No. The eSIM for your line is not compatible with the Apple Watch, and we do not offer it yet: today your line comes with a physical SIM.
Does Don Rayo offer calls with VoLTE technology?
Yes! Don Rayo's mobile service provides you with VoLTE (voice over the 4G network).
What benefits does VoLTE provide?
High-definition voice, faster call connection, greater stability, the ability to browse and talk at the same time, better battery usage, and wider coverage.
Do I need to activate VoLTE manually?
No, VoLTE is already active by default on compatible Don Rayo lines.
What devices are compatible with VoLTE?
All devices manufactured from 2022 onwards and updated to the latest version of their operating system.
Is there an additional cost to use VoLTE?
No, it's a completely free upgrade, with no extra cost.
Roaming
In which countries is roaming free?
You can use your plan with no roaming charges in the European Union and the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) and in Ukraine, just like in Spain, under the roam-like-at-home rule. For all other countries, please check the rates in our roaming rates document: /legal/pdf/tarifas-roaming
What are the Don Rayo roaming rates?
You have all the roaming rates detailed in our rates document: /legal/pdf/tarifas-roaming
What's the difference between international calls and roaming?
Roaming is using your mobile when you are physically in another country (you are still connected with your Don Rayo line abroad). International calls are the ones you make from Spain to a number in another country.
What services can I use when I travel to the United States?
In the United States you can make and receive calls, send SMS and use data. It is in roaming Zona 2; the prices for each zone are on the current price list.
What is data roaming and how do I activate it?
Data roaming allows you to use mobile internet when you are outside Spain. To activate it: on Android go to Settings > Connections (or Network & Internet) > Mobile networks and turn on Data roaming. On iPhone go to Settings > Mobile Data > Options > turn on Data Roaming.
