How to call Spain from the UK in 2026

Spain's country code is +34. From the UK, dial +34 then the full 9-digit Spanish number. There is no leading 0 to drop. A Madrid landline printed as 91 XXX XX XX is +34 91 XXX XX XX. A Spanish mobile printed as 6XX XXX XXX is +34 6XX XXX XXX. Do not insert a trunk 0: +34 091 is a misdial.

How to dial

Use one of these origin formats:

• ›+34 plus the full national number (usual on a mobile)
• ›00 34 plus the same digits from a UK landline that still needs the international access prefix

Ofcom's National Telephone Numbering Plan designates 00 as access to international telephone numbers from the UK. + is a substitute on many mobiles. Do not assume every device accepts the same input.

More numbers: call Spain. Area codes: Spain calling codes.

The ITU E.164 list assigns 34 to Spain. Spain's national numbering plan is a closed 9-digit plan: callers always dial all nine digits. Provincial geographic ranges begin with 9 or 8; the ministry presentation lists Madrid fixed ranges including 910-919. Mobile numbers are described as beginning with 6. A prefix is a format hint, not proof of the current network. The CNMC numbering registry assigns those ranges to operators.

Cost

A call from the UK to Spain is an international call from home. That is not the same as roaming while you are in Spain.

EE's call-abroad page sells International Pass and International Extra add-ons for calls from the UK. Inclusive minutes, if any, are plan-specific. Check whether Spain is named on the destination list.

When 900 is the wrong number

Spanish 900 sits in the domestic special-rate numbering family. Do not assume a domestic toll-free number will work from the UK. Use the number the organisation publishes for international callers.

Santander contacts for overseas callers are on Banco Santander from abroad.

Time difference

Mainland Spain is one hour ahead of the UK throughout the year. Both countries change their clocks on the same schedule. Check the organisation's local opening hours before calling.

Format mistakes to avoid

• ›Inventing a drop-zero or inserting a trunk 0 (+34 91, not +34 091)
• ›Assuming a 900 number will work from the UK
