Q. Why is there a connection charge?
A. Telefonica charge a 4.2 cents connection charge when using 901 numbers and a 8.33 cents connection charge when using 902 numbers. This is considerably less than the 12 cents connection charge applied to international calls dialled directly via Telefonica (ie. just dialling 0044…). Also, you can avoid paying the connection charge by making a follow-on call instead of hanging up. To make a follow on call, press *

Q. Can I use the service from a payphone?
A. Yes. Payphone rates vary according to the operator of the payphone and the payphone’s location. As a guide, you should be charged between 8 and 15 cents a minute. With Telefonica charging nearly a euro a minute it’s a huge saving!

Q. Can I use the service from a mobile?
A. Yes. Using the service from a Spanish mobile will cost between 20 and 40 cents depending on which network and tariff you are on. Again, this is vastly cheaper than dialling direct. Calling from a UK (or other foreign) mobile roaming in Spain is not advisable- use a landline, payphone or Spanish mobile instead.

However we advise you to use our Euro Service instead. This is liekly better value if you want to make cheap international calls from your mobile. This is because the access number for the Euro Service is a standard Spanish landline number and may be included in "free minutes" packages

Q. How do I pay for it?
A. Calling (901) 667 817 or (902) 909 717 is just a normal phone call:

  • From a landline- the call will appear on your usual Telefonica bill.
  • From a payphone- you just put coins in the slot as normal.
  • From a mobile- the call will be deducted from you credit (pay as you go) or appear on your pay monthly phone bill.There is no sign-up required and no separate bills.

Q. Do I have to register or sign a contract?
