Using the Phone

To phone the UK, dial 00 44 then the number you are calling, but omitting the first 0 from the local area dialling code. For example if you want to call 0151 489 3455 you would dial 00 44 151 489 3455. The code for the Republic of Ireland is 00 353 followed by the number you wish to call.

To make a Reverse Charge call to the UK via a British operator dial 900 99 00 44 for a free call to British Telecom.

All Mallorcan landline numbers begin with 971 and mobile numbers with a 6. To call a mobile phone on the island you will need a minimum of 1€ to be connected, then simply dial the complete number.

Alternatively some change bureaux offer phones for public use where you make your call from a booth and are charged at the end though these are often more costly than the payphones in the street.
