Telephone Communications

Generally speaking the Spanish telephone system provided by Telefonica is very good and continually improving. As in the UK with BT being the main provider new companies are also coming into the market offering similar services often with lower tariffs.

When you move to Spain you will probably require a land-line to be installed by Telefonica. Currently connection times in urban areas are very good, you can expect to be installed within two or three days, but be prepared for a very long wait if you are in a rural area. Broad band and ISDN internet connections are also available in most of the popular coastal towns inland however, these services may not always be possible.

The government ended the Telefonica monopoly in 1998 and there are now six companies supplying telephone services. Telefonica have many English speaking staff and you can usually get adequate assistance by dialing 1004.
