Spanish Mobile in Gran Canaria Question

chappy

Hi all,

We have a Spanish mobile on Movistar that we use while in Spain on holiday,

Our son is off on Holiday to Gran Canaria tomorrow (Monday) can he use our spanish movistar mobile while on holiday for us to be able to ring him on?

I have searched high and low trying to find out but failed,

Many many thanks

Thanks

I can't confirm, but I don't see them in "zona 1: Union Europea" that makes me thinking that Canary Islands = Spain.

PAISES ZONA 1 Alemania, Austr!a, B!lgica, Bulgaria, Rep!blica Checa, Chipre, Dinamarca, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, España, Estonia, Finlandia, Francia, Gibraltar, Grecia, Guadalupe, Guayana Francesa, Holanda, Hungr!a, Irlanda, Isla Martinica, Isla Reuni!n, Islandia, Italia, Letonia, Liechtenstein, Lituana, Luxemburgo, Malta, Noruega, Polonia, Portugal, Reino Unido, Ruman!a, Suecia, M!naco, San Marino, Vaticano

Even Isla Reunion on the other side of Africa is in "Zona 1"

The Canary Islands are an autonomous Spanish province , but are outside of the EU VAT area. So it's Movistar zone 1.

Many thanks for all your replies,

I have just got back from the airport after dropping him off,

I have packed it so I will know once and for all when I have give him a ring later in the week if it works or not,

Many thanks again
