Believe me,you don’t need a Spanish phone,it’s a waste of money,just make a call to Vodafone,and they will confirm what I’ve said.

If you are dealing with some Spanish companies or some authorities they will only contact you on a SPANISH number.

A small spanish registered phone will cost cost almost nothing especially if you are on pay as you go. 

Not worth getting bothered about!!

I have been living in Spain for over 20 years,and dealt with many Spanish companies and shops,and have always used my uk number,and never had any refuse to call, so I would say what you say is very unlikely.

Also sounds a teeny bit racist to refuse to call only Spanish numbers.

That is ridiculous to mention racism 😞

Whatever Dave I will differ with what you say as i have had certain companies who will not call a UK phone because they say it is to expensive. 

Let the OP decide

Hi Ive kept my tesco mobile about 800 mins for £7 they stopped my data after 3 months but kept my minutes. I also have a Spanish mobile for use here. I bought a mobile Wilko Jerry 2 it takes 2 SIM cards so I have 2 phones in one it lets you choose which sim to use calling contacts safes you carrying 2 phones.

If your contacts are all mobile back in the uk install what's app on a Spanish phone and just use that.
