Dialling span from UK landline

Hi everyone

Off to Spain for my hols soon, need to sort out how son can contact me from UK. The Spanish appartment has a landline, so he can ring me on that rather than the mobile most of the time, but I need to leave him clear instructions as he is dyslexic and gets things wrong.

1) Is 18866 or 1899 better for Spain? (I have BT land line)

2) currently I use an orchid V4 dialler - I do not want to mess around with the settings, can he dial a number to bypass the dialler, then 18866 (or 1899, whichever is cheaper) and then the spanish number or mobile number?

TIA

Sharon

    just to confuse you both further, 1899's service is cheaper by using their 08081 number, rather than 1899 - 1p/min vs 2p (18866 2p as well)

    someone else can answer the dialler question
