In addition to regular rates for local, provincial, international and mobile numbers, in Spain there is another categorization between telephone numbers: Special or additional tyrations (Sta).
The sta are telephone numbers associated with different services and have Initial marking codes that allow them to be easily identified. According to the code, they can be with special rates higher than the normal ones, with a shared rate between sender and receiver or free for the issuer.
The latter group is what interests us in this article, although they are not really totally free. This type of this is Free only for the issuer (who makes the call)WELL The receiver is responsible for paying the associated costs to that call.
What are the initial marking codes that allow you to identify this type of numbers with free calls? In Spain there are three national coursesMore a fourth code that is for international international numbers (System IIFN). These are:

- 800: They are free for those you can Call for information or communicate with different services and/or companies. They are not confused with others is like those of the code 803, 806, 807 or the like, which are charged and give access to other services.
- 900: They work Just like those of Dial Code 800 And they are exclusive to Spain. Do not confuse with telephone numbers with codes 901, 902 or 905, these are this that the issuer is charged.
- 00800 or +800: These are numbers associated with the IIFN system e You can call them from anywhere in the world Completely free, the company that has the number is the one that will pay the rate. As you could guess, they are a sort of 800 numbers, but the ’00’ or ‘+’ prefixes are those that activate the international service.
And 911? Surely you know it to be The emergency number used in many series and films. However, this It is the marking code for different countries in America and does not apply in Spain. In Spain, as in most of Europe, the emergency number is 112, as we indicated above.
