Phone
from US to Spain
Dial 011-34-the 9 numbers given
to you with your homestay information. All begin with 958
from Spain to the US
For the MCI rechargeable, prepaid
phone card available at Costco, follow the instructions on the back
of the card under "From Overseas":
-
Dial the country specific Toll-Free
Number. For Spain it is 800-099-357
-
Enter World Service Call. This is printed
on the card. It is a 2 or 3 digit number.
-
Enter Pin #. This is the same pin number
which appears on the instructions "from USA to dial or recharge"
-
Dial the number you are calling in
the US exactly as you dial a long distance number in the US. (ie: 1-302-831-2758)
The charge is 54 cents a minute from
Spain to the US using this particular MCI card. I have used this card to
call US from Costa Rica and Mexico and have experienced no problems whatsoever.
As long as you have a credit card, you can recharge the card and use it
indefinitely. Other than a 30 cent surcharge when using a phublic phone,
this card has no extra fees (connection fees, weekly fees, expiration date,
etc.) It is cheaper than the one offered by MCI to its home service customers!
Other cards have different Country
Specific Toll-Free Numbers, access codes and rates.
Check with the phone service you use
at home. They often offer cards of their own. CHECK RATES--your home phone
service may not be the cheapest. To place a direct call to the US from
Spain you must dial 00-1-(area code)-seven digit number (i.e. 011-1-302-2831-2758)
