As in most countries, mobile network operators issue certain dialling codes to their subscribers. However, with number portability in Spain (portabilidad), these numbers are not now an accurate indicator of subscriber network in use.

Emergency Telephone Numbers

• 112 - for all emergencies
• 902 102 112 - for multi-lingual services (usually incurs a longer wait)

112 is the pan-European Union emergency number and is recommended to all visitors and new immigrants. Local numbers do exist. However, to use these, you have to know which police or fire department deals with which situation.
