I suppose everyone knows how to get cheap phone calls to the UK from Spain.
You dial 700-500-700, wait for the announcement from the computer, then dial the full UK number (starting 00-44-). These calls are priced at 4.60 cents a minute to anywhere in the world. Bills appear on your usual Telefonica bill as calls made to Contacta SL, 700500700. Quality varies from excellent to echoey as it’s a VOIP (voice over internet protocol) call. But cheap !
I’ve just found a company in the UK that does the same, and not just for Spain. The website is listed below. Basically from the UK you dial 0844 799 0181, wait for a new dial tone, then the full (e.g.) Spanish number (starting 00-34-). These calls are priced at 2p a minute and will appear on your usual provider bill as calls made to Planet Numbers and/or 08447990181.
Both systems work from UK landlines and UK mobiles to Spanish landlines. Tell those friends and families back in the UK that you never hear from “as it’s too expensive”………………
