How to recognize different types of numbers in Spain
All Spanish phone numbers have nine digits. Most are geographic numbers with standard calling charges, but some will be expensive. Check out these special rate numbers below.
Low price phone numbers
800 and 900: Free
901 and 904: Shared cost (between the caller and the receiver). The caller pays around 4c.
902: between local and provincial. 4c-7c, depending on the time of day.
Keep in mind that these numbers may not be cheaper from a cell phone and may actually cost more than a standard call.

All other numbers starting with 90 or 80 are expensive, with prices reaching at least 1 euro per minute!
Be especially careful when calling from a cell phone.
