Anyone nipping overseas to Spain can call home for a price from 4 euro cents (under 3p) a minute (varies with time and call) without any calling cards. It works the same way as the 'no access' cheap calls providers detailed in the Call Checker just the other way round.

Even better, the page actually states 4 cents per minute and not 4 pence per minute off peak!They say that football is a religion, if this is true I worship at the Exacta Stadium, Chester0

Looks good to me - going to Spain in July, should help eke out the spends a bit.
Does any one know if there is there anything like this for Italy (going Skiing there in March)?0 -
remember that those listed apply to calling from a normal landline.
Calls from a hotel room may cost a lot more.
appears calls from payphones are between 8-15c ppm

I've just had a thorough look through the DialAbroad Spain web site and tried it out from Spain, I got through first time with crystal clear quality: unbelievable, this service is great!
In reply to the earlier post, it looks like they are going to launch in DialAbroad Italy soon too.

**********************************
pay 4.03c/min off-peak and 6.73c/min on-peak (0800 - 2000 Mon. to Fri.Off peak at other times.) plus Telefonica also charge a one-off 8.33c connection fee, so just dial ## to make follow on calls.
All charges exclude IVA which is currently 16% (Aug. 2003) E&OE

So, Telefonica's connection charge is really €0.097 and the additional DialabroadSpain costs are €0.047 per minute off peak and €0.078 per minute peak.
As an example, a 5 minute call to the UK would cost:
€0.33 between 2000 and 0800;
€0.49 between 0800 and 2000.30 years, 217 days!0 -
Does anyone know if this applies to Tenerife? Does it apply when using their public phone boxes? (The web site refers to phone bills)
Thank you0 -
Anyone know if it works for companies other than Telefonica. My son lives in the Basque Country and uses the local competition to Telefonica, which is Euskotel.M.E..... MORE than you know0
