The phone in Spain is mobile. Events and weather in Spain

There are times when you need to talk with a business partner about tax issues, make a currency transfer to your loved ones, or call a friend who is in Spain. It is not always possible to contact a person via the Internet. To call a person, you need to find out the country code, and use it to communicate on the phone, Skype and other programs that work with phone numbers.

What is a dialing code

It is necessary for international communication. A code is usually called a combination of numbers and/or additional prefixes (=, *, etc.) specific for each region, necessary for international, long-distance and intra-regional communications. Without the extra digits, operators would be unable to determine whether a domestic or international call should be routed:

• The code applies to both mobile and landline.
• The letter designation of any country consists of 2-3 Latin letters (Spain is designated ESP or ES).
• Country ISO - 724.

Spain phone

The Russian cipher is unique in its own way, since it consists of only one digit 7, whereas in most countries of the world it consists mainly of two or three-digit combinations of numbers.

International classification

Each state has been assigned a unique code for making calls by the all-Russian classifier.

The code for Spain belongs to the third zone, which includes most countries of the European Union and Eastern Europe - 34. Each Spanish number begins with this combination of numbers if it is called internationally.

Call from a landline phone

There is a certain algorithm for the operation of the international telephone network.

1. You need to access the international communication channel from the internal network. Each country has a unique code for this purpose. To understand how to call Spain using a landline number, you need to know the call code from the Russian Federation. For any foreign calls from Russia, the code 810 is first dialed. After entering “8”, a continuous beep will be heard, then “10” is dialed;
2. You should dial the country code, Spain - 34;
3. Enter the code of the desired city;
4. The subscriber number is entered.

A reminder of the telephone codes of the main cities in Spain.

Important! It will take a few seconds to establish the connection. The call duration will begin to count down as soon as the other party answers the call.

How to call Spain from a mobile phone

The procedure for dialing a foreign telephone number via a cell phone depends on the mobile operator; in Russia, the key ones are MTS, Megafon and Beeline.

Important! When using any mobile operator, you should enable access to calls to international numbers (roaming). MTS, for example, provides the “International Access” service.

To call Spain from a mobile phone:

• dial the international dialing code of Spain from a mobile phone to access calls, similar to landline dialing - 810;
• enter Spain code - 34;
• dial the city code and phone number of the subscriber (if the call is to a mobile phone from a mobile phone, then after the country code you need to enter the subscriber number);
• Unlike a landline number, on a mobile phone you can enter + instead of the 810 code.

Note! An international call from a mobile will cost less than a call from a landline. This parameter depends on the operator and the tariff used.

The price for one minute of conversation depends on the mobile operator and tariff. The cost of the call may also depend on:

• time of day of call: day or night;
• from the day of the week: weekday or weekend.

Important! A significant disadvantage of international calls to Spain from a landline number is the very high price.

There are preferential rates for telephone calls in Spain. The tariff depends on the day of the week and time of day - it is more profitable to call in the evening and on weekends. The standard price is valid on weekdays from 8 to 20, preferential - from 20 to 8 the next day. On weekends and public holidays, the reduced rate is valid throughout the day until 8am the next day.

If you need to make a call while in Spain, you should not call from hotels - it will be expensive. You shouldn't use Russian SIM cards either. In order to control and optimize costs, it is worth purchasing a telephone card from the Telefonica operator. In developed Spain, purchasing a card without knowing the language will not be a problem. Purchasing a card will cost 5 € per half hour of conversation. Telefonica telephone booths and telephone booths are scattered throughout many Spanish towns and cities.

Important! If a traveler, having issued a visa, chosen a hotel and transport, decides to spend two weeks or more in Spain, it makes sense to purchase a Spanish SIM card. In this case, calls to Russia and throughout the country will cost much less; incoming calls are usually free.

The operators Telefónica and Movistar have the greatest coverage. Sales offices are scattered throughout the country, so buying a SIM card is not difficult.

Calls can be made using telephone booths. Within the city, between cities and between countries, you can talk through machines that operate either from the cards described above or using money. The minimum cost of a call within Madrid or Barcelona is 15 centimes, that is, if you do not put at least 15 centimes into the machine, subscribers will not be connected.

You can call any country in the world not only via telephone, but also using a computer. To do this, you should install an application, for example, Skype. The program will allow you to talk to a person anywhere in the world for free. The interlocutor can be in any country - the main thing is that the Skype application is installed on the subscriber’s device. Moreover, the program allows you to see the interlocutor if you connect a webcam to the device.

Note! The difference in time zones between Russia and Spain should be taken into account (1 hour). You also need to remember that Spain, unlike the Russian Federation, switches clocks to winter time and back. Switching to summer time usually occurs on March 25, and to winter time on October 28. Because of this, during winter time the time difference between the powers increases by an hour.

The most affordable option for calling Spain from Russia is to connect using a cell phone. Calls from Spain are easy to make through telephone booths using a special card. Using programs such as Skype, you can contact friends and solve work issues from anywhere in the world without the slightest expense.

*prices are indicated as of October 2018.

Today, you can make calls to Spain both through wired communications that are becoming a thing of the past, and using the services of mobile operators or the Internet. It should be noted that if you need a direct telephone number in Spain, it can be purchased for as little as $4 per month. However, IP telephony has seriously surpassed all other types of communication in terms of ease of use and accessibility. First of all, this is due to the lack of connection to a specific geographical location, like wired and even mobile communications, and an unusually low price without any time restrictions. Let's look at the most convenient ways to call Spain.

How to call Spain from a mobile

In Spain, all mobile phone numbers begin with the number 6, and landline numbers begin with the number 9. This information can be useful for estimating the cost of a call.

When calling a subscriber in Spain from a mobile phone, the number is dialed according to the following scheme: (+34) – (province/city code) – (subscriber number). The telecommunications market in Spain is almost entirely occupied by three mobile operators: Movistar with a share of over 40% of all subscribers, Vodafone with 29% and Orange, which serves more than 20% of users.

The cost of a minute of call to Spain is determined by the tariff policy of your operator and the called subscriber.

For example, the cost of a call from Russia to Spain from an MTS number will cost 49 rubles per minute of conversation, which corresponds to 0.7-0.8 USD.

When reading prices, pay attention to whether they include VAT (IVA).

Calls from a landline phone are made in the same way, with the exception of the method of accessing an international line, when instead of the “+” symbol, the combination “00” is used.

How to call Spain via the Internet

Those who prefer cheap calls and who need to talk for a long time with subscribers in Spain should pay attention to the possibilities of Internet or IP telephony. This service is available both on desktop computers and on smartphones and tablets. It allows you to call Spain without any special knowledge, completely free or at very low rates - from 1-2 cents per minute. There is only one indispensable condition - access to the Internet.

With this method of communication, the cost of the call is significantly influenced by the ability of the called subscriber to access the Internet. If it is available, communication becomes practically free and unlimited, regardless of the software products used: Viber, Skype, WhatsApp, Bip and many others.

The inconvenience is that the called party must have similar software installed.

When you try to dial a landline or mobile number, you will most likely have to pay for communication services at the meager rates indicated above. In this case, the dialing rules remain the same as for regular voice communication.

Telephone codes for cities in Spain

In Spain, the telephone code for a landline number is a nine-digit combination of numbers: the first two digits indicate the country code (+34), the next two or three digits correspond to a particular province of Spain. The remaining numbers are the subscriber number.

It should be noted that all Spanish phone numbers begin with the country identifier +34, which is placed before any province or city code.

The table below shows the Spanish province and city codes for telephone communications.

The dialing code for the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria) is +34 28, for calls to the islands of Tenerife you should dial +34 28 22.

Features of mobile communications and the Internet in Spain

Tariffs of Spanish mobile operators are divided into two groups: contract and prepaid. Only residents of Spain can use contract rates if they have a bank account.

When purchasing a SIM card you will need:

• personal identification document;
• bank account number from which mobile communications will be paid;
• residential address (hotel address);
• Contact Information.

For other users, including tourists, the second group is preferable. When purchasing a SIM card they need:

• provide an identification document;
• indicate your place of residence (you can give the hotel address);
• provide contact information.

Please note that when purchasing a SIM card in Barcelona, ​​in addition to the specified documents, you will need a minimum knowledge of the Spanish language.

High-quality Internet in Europe is available in a large part of the territory, and it can be distributed from a mobile phone, using it in modem mode, to a laptop via Wi-Fi.

In Spain, the Orange operator provides mobile communications and Internet services on very attractive terms. Its SIM cards are valid in all European countries. Moreover, a card that costs 40 euros and with 20 euros in the account quickly pays for itself if you need to travel across EU countries (instead of buying a SIM card from a local operator in each at a price of 15 euros). If you top up your account with at least 5 euros per year, the card remains usable for many years.

Finally

All mobile operators in Spain provide Internet access based on the 4G standard. For example, the Orange operator provides 4G coverage throughout Spain, including the Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. This means there are ample opportunities for calls using IP telephony.

The issue of telephone communication for tourists, as well as their relatives, is as pressing as issues relating to visas, accommodation and currency exchange. It is always necessary to “keep in touch”, regardless of the cost of these services: just find out how each other is doing, briefly talk about your holiday in Spain, and just say good night.

Calls from Russia to Spain

You can call Spain from Russia both from a landline phone and from a mobile phone. It is most rational to make calls in the “mobile to mobile” and “home to home” modes. Each country has its own international code, in this case Spain has it +34.

Calls from Spain to Russia

Of course, before leaving for Spain, you can open international roaming with a representative of your mobile network. However, only if you plan to make no more than 3-4 calls. Otherwise it will not be worth the money.

There are two options for resolving this issue: calls from telephone booths or calls from a mobile phone of a Spanish operator.

Telephone machines in Spain are installed in every city; they are quite easy to find and no special skills are required to use.

In extreme cases, the intelligible instructions in English located in the booth will not help. You can make calls either for cents or using a special telephone card, the cost of which will cost the tourist 6 € or 12 €.

A little nicety will be preferential rates valid at night from 20.00 to 8.00 and around the clock on weekends and holidays that have national status. If a conversation with a Russian relative is suddenly interrupted due to insufficient funds, the latter has the opportunity to contact the Spanish side thanks to the telephone number assigned to each machine.

But most tourists prefer comfort, so upon arrival in Spain they immediately purchase a local SIM card from one of the mobile operators.

In this case, incoming calls are not charged. Tariffing for outgoing calls depends on the service package of the selected operator and ranges from 10 - 50 cents/min. One of the cheapest mobile operators for calls to Russia is the relatively young “Hitsmobile”, which offers tourists three calling tariff modes, as well as "CARREFOUR" And "Yojgo". The last two, by the way, have a free tariff for communication within the network; money will be charged only for the connection.

The cheapest method of communication, which is becoming more and more popular every year. If you call from Skype to a landline number or to a mobile phone, the cost of the call will be from 0.02 € per minute.
