Spanish 902 number
 
I want to call a Spanish 902 number which is their equivalent of our national call (0870). I get a message saying 'the number you have dialled has not been recognised'.

When I queried this with Virgin, I was told the number is out of order. This is not possible as the number is for the Spanish electricity co. The second time I called, I was told that the number is barred on all Virgin landlines because it is very expensive to call.

I find this amazing as I am left with the choice of using my mobile which will be even more expensive or asking someone if I can use their non-Virgin phone!!

Do Virgin bar calls to national numbers in all countries?

Any comments, suggestions or help with this would be very much appreciated.

Jennie

As far as I know you can't call national rate numbers from abroad. Companies using such numbers ought to provide a geographical or local rate number for access from abroad. Have a look at the website of the Spanish utility to see if you can find an alternative number.

Thanks very much for your reply.

They don't have any other numbers on their web site and I have tried e-mailing, but no reply. However, I have just found the Spanish equivalent of 'Say No to 0870' so I'll get translating!

Strangely, I can get through on my mobile, but I don't really want to make a long call to Spain on it.

Thanks again for your time. Jennie
