Hi. Thanks for mentioning SIMYO. But there is a reason why they are not on the list (neither in Spain nor in the other countries they operate in): it's an online-only MVNO meaning it is not sold offline in stores or other sales outlets.

This may not so much trouble for people living in the county. But for travellers who want an internet access quickly, it's very inconvenient. First, you have to have a local postal address (hotels may be allright, but can be tricky), then you have to wait for a few days until your SIM card actually arrives by mail after having it ordered online before.

The online-only operators save a few Euros on their distribution system, but are for the reasons mentioned above, not recommended for travellers. So generally, when there is much choice among other MVNOs sold locally in stores, online-only operators are not listed. (Exceptions are only made for providers like e.g. Mobile Vikings who send their SIM cards abroad, to be sent to your home address before you start your trip).
