I had a UK number on skype for a couple of years but haven't renewed it this year as they want about £50 now - not worth it. I have an English mobile on contract with vodafone and use vodafone passport at 75p a call. All my friends are on messenger so we chat away on there these days.

We use a company called TTNC to provide a Manchester phone number. Only for elderly mum really. There's a one off charge of £25. It goes directly through to my Spanish mobile, which then costs me 12c per minute, so I usually ring people in UK straight back with Voipcheap. We''ve had it about 3 years now, and it works well.

Hi Julian, we have got "UK phone number in Spain thingys". It is Vonage and we are delighted with it. We pay £5.99 a month and can make as many calls a month as we like. It is good for our family and friends as they can call us without paying a lot for their calls.
Re: uk phone number in spain?
Sid - I've had a look at your link, but it looks to me that if someone wants to ring Spanish mobile from UK, it will cost them 23p per minute. With the number I have, I only pay 12c per minute, and they just pay cost of a local call. Suppose it depends how much you use it

Re: uk phone number in spain?
You get a UK number which connects to your Spanish land line for 3p/minute. You pay nothing to receive the call. That's what we are talking about here.alisonb wrote:Sid - I've had a look at your link, but it looks to me that if someone wants to ring Spanish mobile from UK, it will cost them 23p per minute.

Calls to mobiles will always be more.

We use Vonage for our UK number. We subscribed back in the UK and brought the adapter over with us. However you can now subscribe to Vonage in Spain, and still get a UK number.
We've had it for a couple of years and has worked faultlessly throughout that time.

Re: uk phone number in spain?
Hi Julian,
I use this one..................
"How does your service compare to Dialabroad Spain?
Our 901 900 499 service is 50% cheaper since they use a 902 number which is charged by Telefonica at: 4.03c/min off-peak and 6.73c/min peak plus a connection charge of 8c."
So your one looks to be a better deal
Still "cheaper" is PC to PC using Skype or MSN..............free ...... plus webcam if you have one.
Thanks for posting

From the U.K. we always use Dialwise

0.5p per minute to Spain from landline to landline

I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire.
