No, the calls made from Spain to any other country are still considered International calls and they still have such costs.

If I am travelling in a country of the European Region, can I call another country without extra costs?

When you are on Roaming Services in any country of the European Region (excluding Spain), all calls that you make to any other country of the European Region will count as National (Spanish) calls. If your Rate includes minutes, it will not have any cost while you still have minutes left. If you have no minutes left, you will pay the same cost as a National (Spanish) call between Spanish lines.

What do I have to do to have free Roaming Services?

To be able to use your mobile line outside of Spain, you will need to activate the Roaming Services in your customer area of ConectaBalear or contacting us through telephone call or email. After that you will need to make sure the Data Roaming on your phone is active to be able to use Internet Data and browse the Internet.

Is there any restriction of time while using the Roaming Services?

The Regulations of this trearty explain that it is considered excessive usage when, during a 4 month period, you use your line in Roaming Services more than you use it in Spain. If there is such case, you will receive an notification and after 15 days you could be charged the extra costs if you still use your line while in Roaming Services. It is also possible to present the documentation that credits that the holder of the line is resident in Spain to continue using the line in Roaming Services without charges.

This regulation has been created in order to prevent fraud of hiring lines in countries in which the holder does not reside.


If you go abroad and you have any doubts regarding the use of Roaming in your mobile line, we recommend that you contact us.
