Unknown calls from Spain

Many people in Spain stop answering numbers they do not recognise, partly because energy and telecom sales calls arrive at all hours. Since the 2022 telecoms law, companies need consent or another legal basis to call consumers for marketing, but the calls have not disappeared. Smishing is the bigger danger: texts that seem to come from a bank, Correos or the DGT traffic authority slip into the same thread as genuine messages. Expats on the Costa del Sol or in Madrid, holiday-home owners and Erasmus students regularly search a 6xx or 9xx number to find out whether a gestoría, landlord or delivery driver was trying to reach them.

Number format
Spanish numbers have nine digits and no trunk prefix. Landlines begin with 8 or 9 (91 Madrid, 93 Barcelona), mobiles begin with 6 or 7, and special services start with 80x or 90x.
Example (national)
912 345 678
Example (international)
+34 912 345 678
Emergency number
112 (all emergencies), 091 (Policía Nacional), 062 (Guardia Civil)

Spain numbers have no trunk prefix, so the international form is simply +34 followed by the national number: 912 345 678 becomes +34 912 345 678.

Common phone scams in Spain

"Hola mamá" WhatsApp messages

Someone writes from an unknown number, claiming to be your son or daughter with a new phone. Before long they need help paying an urgent invoice or a purchase that cannot wait. Spanish police have repeatedly warned about this pattern; ring your child on the number you already know or ask a question only they could answer.

Bank smishing followed by a phone call

A text that appears in your bank's genuine message thread warns of a blocked account or an unusual payment. Shortly afterwards a "security department" calls, sometimes displaying the bank's real number, and asks for codes or for money to be moved. Hang up and call the number printed on your card instead.

Fake DGT fines and Correos parcels

Texts claim you have an unpaid traffic fine from the DGT or a parcel held by Correos for a small fee. The link leads to a cloned page requesting card details. Real DGT fines are notified officially, and Correos fees can be checked on its own website by entering the tracking number yourself.

Report scam calls in Spain

Complaints about unwanted marketing calls and misuse of personal data go to the AEPD (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos). INCIBE's free and confidential 017 helpline advises on online fraud and suspicious texts. Report crimes to the Policía Nacional, the Guardia Civil or the regional police.

Stop unwanted calls

Lista Robinson (listarobinson.es), run by the digital economy association Adigital, lets consumers opt out of advertising by phone, SMS, email and post. Companies that market to people without consent must check it, and Spain's telecoms law also gives users the right not to receive unwanted commercial calls.

Spain number lookup FAQ

Who called me from +34?+

+34 is the country code for Spain. A number continuing with 6 or 7 belongs to a mobile, while one starting with 9 or 8 is a landline. For instance, +34 91 is Madrid and +34 93 is Barcelona. Remember that caller IDs can be spoofed.

Why does Spain have no trunk zero?+

Spain dropped its separate area-code system in 1998, so the full nine-digit number is always dialled, both locally and from abroad. From outside Spain you add +34 directly in front of the nine digits, with nothing removed.

Should I call back a 902 number?+

Usually only if you know the company. 902 numbers are charged to the caller and are generally not included in mobile flat rates. Many businesses now also publish a standard geographic or 900 number. Check the official website, or look the number up on WhoCallsMe to see reports from other callers.
