Buying an additional iPhone in Spain

Am in process of moving from UK to Spain. Can you please help me?

Is it possible to have a new additional iPhone setup in Spain (assigned to Spanish Bank Account), and keep my current old UK iPhone (assigned to a UK Bank) as well?

I read somewhere it may not be possible to use the same email address when setting up new Apple ID account for Spain but I only have my 1 UK email plus my iCloud account email.

Any suggestions please would be most helpful

Thanks

Every Apple ID is associated with one country. To add payment methods you need to have billing address and card corresponding to the country of Apple ID to use the iPhone seamlessly.

Create another Apple ID and you will get another iCloud email account. That way you can enjoy UK and Spain together.

Thank you for that information. It helps and I understand that the billing address and card will respond to the new Spanish one.

Sorry but I’ve forgotten but I thought the iCloud email account was assigned after theApple ID setup is completed and part of this process requires an email address to send bills etc to.

Therefore am still unsure if I’d be able to use the same email address, (as in UK Apple ID) for the contact, with the new second Spanish Apple ID when initially setting up? Am concerned that it will simply say that email is already in use! Or are you implying I can use the new iCloud email as the contact for this one?

Apologies if this sounds confusing!

Your help is very much appreciated

Thanks
