UK mobile phone - Page 6

Then I would tell them you want the service I have or you are going to change to a company that does, also I think every phone company had to do this on our governments order about two years ago.

You can check on google if that’s right.

I’ve just rechecked and it’s correct what I’ve said, so go on google and put uk phone charges in Europe.

Will do Dave.....

Can’t understand why your bank doesn’t accept your uk phone,as I’ve been with Cajamar and Unicaja for years,and they’ve never ever mentioned about uk phones, don’t forget your the customer,and the banks are there to serve you.

Here is a link re Roaming and charges.

As previously stated Sabadell would not accept my UK mobile nor would HBOS in the UK accept my Spanish mobile.  Things may have changed since then I haven’t had the need to check but a Dual SIM phone is the answer for me.  You cannot use a UK mobile from the UK to call Spain and not incur International call charges or vice versa through your service provider as you are not roaming in your home country.  Also your service provider could implement the fair use policy to avoid people taking advantage similar to what Giffgaff do as per my previous post.

That’s correct, but what was mentioned was phoning in Spain,you can phone anywhere in spain and it comes off your minutes the same as uk.

Also tell your bank to wake up to the 21 century,and change banks, the Cajamar would laugh at the suggestion of not accepting uk phones.

Hi,

Get a sim only with capped data, unlimited voice and sms package from giffgaff. You must have your phone unlocked for this. They can give you new number. You can also keep your old number if you want, just request the PAC code from your current survice provider and update to giffgaff platform. They’ve got different costs packages. I used £15.00 / month for ( 8 Gb data, with unlimited voice and sms) its a breeze to stay in contact with the U.K.. and I’ve never run out. You’re still in connection with any British App on you phone. I don’t have much phone contact with Spanish numbers to merit a local sim yet, but I have a cheap unlocked spare phone for later. I would recommend you buy a cheap unlocked smartphone from the U.K. high street ( they’re all over the place). Your British mates will be paying local rates and so will you on your giffgaff package. And you can disconnect whenever you want. One month at a time. NOTE:- you may have to pay more to phone premium numbers on your giffgaff package. 

Hope this helps

We are not talking about phoning Spain from the uk,it’s people in spain can use their uk phone in Spain to phone home and any European number with there uk minutes.

Surely nowadays, everyone calls family back home on Wattsapp.

I use my Uk phone in Spain at no extra cost . My UK phone account is with Three and calls come out of my monthly allotted allowance for out going ,free for incoming . The same with text messages . If I call another number on Three tariff it is even better as there is no limit to the number of calls I make 

My Spanish phone is PAYG  with Movistar and I very seldom use it
