How to use public telephones
The majority of phone booths installed in Madrid accept all denominations of euro coins except 1 and 2 cent coins.
The modern telephone booths accept telephone cards as well. The cards can be purchased in Tabacalera shops and kiosks and in post offices for 6 or 12 euros.
Telefonica, the Spanish Telephone Co., has a number of customer centres in Madrid where you can be attended to by an operator and you may pay by credit card.
When calling abroad dial the prefix 00, the code of the country you are calling, the code of the city or zone and your party's number. The code for the UK is 44.
