| Using the Phone It will cost approximately 2 euros to telephone to the UK or Ireland but before inserting this money you are advise to use a small coin (20 centimos) to check that this registers. If it doesn't, use another phone! If you don't want to use cash, then phone cards can be purchased from tobacconists and other shops where you see the appropriate telephone card sign. They are used in the same way as at home. To phone the UK, dial 0044, then the number you are calling, but omit the first zero, For example, if you were dialling the following UK number: 0151 999 8888 then it would be 0044 151 999 888 from Mallorca. The International code for Ireland is 00353 followed by the number you are dialling, again omitting the first zero.Please note that all Mallorcan landline numbers begin with the prefix 971 ... all mobile's begin with a '6'. To make a reverse charge call to the UK, via a British operator, dial 900 99 00 44 for free calls to British Telecom.
