Calling Spain from the UK

Hi all,

I used the MSE tool to search the cheapest way to ring Spain which showed me Lebara to be the best. However from what I can tell it's around 20p a minute still to ring Spain. Are there any recommendations on the best Sim Card to ring a Spanish mobile with would be?

Thanks in advance.

    If the person in Spain have Lyca sim then you can call them for 9p per min. I call my friends in portugal who also have Lyca and it cost me 9p a min.

    the free way to call my friends is using Viber to viber or skype.

    Take a look at togglemobile.com.

    Calls to Spanish landlines 3p/minute, to Spanish mobiles 9p/minute.

    A dozen other countries all at 3p to landlines and 3p or 9p to mobiles.

    If you have e a Smatphone install Ringo

    Spanish landline 1p a minute
    Mobile 3.6p a minute. No connection charge

    Uses your free minutes on a UK number(no wifi required)

    Or use free Viber, but you need Wifi both ends

    I see 1.6p in MSE tool results.
  • Thanks for the replies. I am going to take a look at Ringo. Hopefully it works well!

    I saw low cost in the tool too, but once I went onto the Lebara site it displayed a bit more!

    Well, localphone show 1.6 p on their website, although this doesn't include the cost for you to call their access numbers (UK geographical numbers AFAIK).
