The use of the emergency number 112 in SPAIN

In Spain, as in the rest of the European Union, the emergency services (Police, health services, firefighters, etc..) can be accessed via the single emergency number 112.

Using the number 112 has some advantages:

- It covers all kinds of emergencies (health, accidents, situations of risk, etc.).

- It works in the whole of Spain.

- Calls are free, from both landlines and mobiles.

- Calls can be made from mobile phones even when they are blocked when the SIM card is inactive, or there is no coverage from the mobile phone provider.

IMPORTANT; There is no need for national area codes, even when calling from a foreign mobile !!!

Many British followers have asked us if after Brexit is possible in Spain to dial 112 from mobiles with UK sim cards or if they need to dial an international prefix.

So far there has not been any change. BUT, we invite you once again to share your experience. Have you had any problem dialing 112 from your phone with a British sim card?

(Spanish, English, German and French are the languages spoken by the teleoperators) BUT in some communities, there can be other languages available.

If you found useful this information, we invite you to share it. ?
