Or you can still use Finarea (18185 etc), via what they call their mobile access numbers. But they currently charge 11p/min to call a Spanish mobile.

Thanks YoungNick, still cheaper than TT.That,s what I was paying via Aol/TT when I could use 18185 with them, without the access number ,which I didn,t know about :beer:http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/spain-mobile/talktalk/easy

EDIT; Just read 18185, bit confused.
To ring a Spanish LandLine, do I ring 0808 1 703 703 then "18185 " ?/then spanish number? including 0034+
To ring spanish mobile is it the same ?
I will be using my landline to ring.both.
0844 just dial looks ok too, always used 18185, but never with access number.0 -
You call the 18185 0808 freephone number, and dial the intl destination in full. You dont use 18185 whilst dialling .
When dialling an 0844 number be aware that you start paying for the call as soon as you here the recorded announcement so you get charged even if your not connected.
Worth considering http://www.localphone.com/call/spain a payg service slightly dearer but no connection charges. They give you dedicated uk geographical access numbers to call which point direct at your target numbers which you can call from your inclusive landline minutes.0 -
