Phoning the UK from Spain - Dial 0044, then the UK area code (without the initial 0) followed by
the number. For example, to telephone the London number 0209 654 321
from Spain, you would dial 0044 209 654 321.
Phoning within Spain - Always dial the full 9 digit number (including the area code) even
when calling from within the same area. If you are given a phone
number that is less than 9 digits you will need to add the regional
prefix (see the list above). Public telephone booths (locutorios)
and street-corner telephones can be found throughout Spain. These
take coins or phone cards which can be obtained from post-offices (estafeta
de correos) and tobacconists (estancos). There are also central
telephone offices (telefonicas) where you can make international
calls and pay afterwards. Avoid using your hotel telephone, as this
is likely to be more expensive to use than a public phone.

Using a mobile phone in Spain - It's very useful to have your own mobile phone when on holiday in Spain. However,
remember that some mobile phones will not work abroad. Check with
your provider before you go. Also find out about text messaging and

to use your mobile phone abroad and you may have to pay to receive calls as well
as make them!!!! Click on the picture link below for good ways around this
problem.
Control the cost of using your mobile in Spain -
A convenient feature of the modern mobile phone is the ability to remain in
contact whilst abroad. Mobile operators refer to this service as international
roaming. However, this convenience comes at a cost and if you don’t pay
attention to how much you use your mobile you could be paying your phone bill
off long after your tan has faded.
The article here has been written to help you avoid extortionate mobile roaming
charges, however the potential to reduce costs greatly depends on your usage
pattern.
Important differences to note whilst in Spain;
• You will have a choice of different networks to use. However, the call charges
will vary dependent on the network you select.
• You will pay for receiving calls
• Your call charges will be different to those when using your mobile at home.
Expect an increase of 300-1000%.
• The peak and off peak times of the foreign operator may differ from your UK
operator.
• You may be billed in different increments i.e. per minute instead of per
second.
• There will be a surcharge for calling free phone numbers and customer care
lines.
Considerations before travelling :
Check the cost of calling with your mobile operator and the network coverage
whilst in Spain.
Let potential callers know that you will be in Spain -
In order to avoid receiving unnecessary and costly call, advise potential
callers that you will be Spain. If you have a standard UK contract you may be
paying as much as 75ppmin to receive a call.
Considerations when in Spain -
There are several steps that you can take to use your mobile in the most cost
effective way.
Send TXT messages instead of calling -
A typical text message will cost 40p while abroad however a voice call will cost
in excess of 60p. And remember whilst roaming you are charged per minute so if
your call only lasts twenty seconds you will still get charged the price of a
full minute.
Bar incoming calls or set up a UK divert -
If you're confident that no one will want to speak to you, then you could bar
incoming calls. Alternatively, divert all calls to a UK number and ask people to
contact you via SMS or call if it is urgent.
Use your voicemail service -
You can divert all incoming calls directly to your voicemail so that you do not
need to pay to receive that call. You can then make one call to your voice mail
and decide what calls require your attention. However, please note that
conditional diverts such as diverting calls to voicemail when you are on the
phone can be extremely costly. This is because you often pay to receive the call
and then send it back to your voicemail in the UK
Manually select the cheapest network to roam on -
When arriving in Spain your mobile phone should automatically select the
cheapest network (partner network) to roam on. However, to avoid any costly
mistakes, it is worth discovering the correct network before roaming and then
manually selecting that network once you arrive.
Phoning Home -
All phone numbers in your mobile’s address book need to be preceded with the
correct international dialling code. For UK numbers it is +44 followed by the
national code minus the first 0.
Foreign SIM cards -
For longer or repeat visits to Spain consider purchasing a foreign Pay-as-you-go
sim card. The SIM is an electronic chip that ties you to a particular network.
By changing the SIM, you are no longer roaming, you are considered to be a local
number on a particular network. This brings considerable advantages; you are no
longer charged to receive calls and you can make calls at a fraction of the
roaming cost.
You can buy Spanish prepaid SIM cards before you go and then simply pay as you go when abroad. This has the
added benefit of providing you with your new number before you travel and a set
of English instructions. However, please be aware that your handset may need to
be unlocked before it will accept a SIM card from another network, often this
will cost around £10. To see details of free unlocking of mobile phones, when
purchasing a Spanish SIM card, just click on the image further down below.
Tips for saving money -
Depending on how often you travel and where you go you could save money by
following these simple guidelines.
Annual Holiday Maker – Holiday phone bill is less than £20 -
If you head overseas once a year and take your mobile with you please try the
following;
• Subscribe to an international saver scheme and you could benefit form
significant savings if you intend to use the phone for more than just
emergencies.
• Whenever possible, TXT rather than phone, but be aware it will cost around 30p per text
• Use local payphones to make national calls and buy a calling card to call home
A home in Spain / spending more than 3 weeks in Spain -
If you're lucky enough to have brought a home in Spain, regularly visit every
year or are intending to spend more than a few weeks in Spain;
• Purchase a Spanish SIM card. You should quickly recuperate the costs even if
you have to pay for unlocking a mobile phone. You'll be able to receive calls for free and
make telephone calls at local rates. For a UK supplier of Spanish SIM cards, just click on
