Phones in Spain
Tips on using phones in Spain...
Phones in Spain are modern and easy to use and if you're phoning Spain from the UK the code to use is 0034.
You'll find the ringing tone is long and if it's engaged/busy then the tone will be short.
The Spanish telephone system is called Telefònica and most public phones display instructions in several languages including English.
Making international calls is expensive and you'll find you save money by making calls after midnight until 8.00am in the morning.
Another way of saving money is to use a pre-paid telephone calling card (tarjeta prepagada) with amounts starting from 5 euros.
These cards can be used in a public pay phone or with a mobile (even a fixed land line) and can be bought at kiosks, call centres and at some supermarkets.
Mobiles in Spain Mobile phones have become an essential part of our lives and with many mobiles you just top up before you go and pay as you talk.
Be sure to read the guide that comes with your mobile (or check online) as this will tell you if your phone is compatible with the local network of the country you're visiting.
On arriving in Valencia just switch on your phone and it will search for the local network. If all is OK you'll get a welcoming sign saying something like... 'Welcome to Movie Star'.
We've found that using a mobile in Valencia is very expensive so the best thing to do is either use the local pay phones (which are everywhere) or a Spanish SIM card.
When dialing Spain from the UK, omit the first 0 of the number and replace it with +34 then add the rest of the number.
A final point worth noting is that when answering the phone is you usually say digame which translates to speak to me in Spanish.
