- • Prepaid SIMs may require sufficient balance or an international add on before IDD calls are allowed
- • KYC registration of SIM with ID is required in Spain; unregistered or inactive SIMs may not place international calls
- • Business PBX systems may require a prefix (such as 0 or 9) before 00 or + to reach an outside line
Troubleshooting Calls to China
- The number you have dialed is not in service or cannot be completed as dialed - Check that you used 00 or +, the correct country code, and removed any leading 0 from the foreign area or mobile code
- Your call cannot be completed because international calling is not enabled on your line - Contact your Spanish carrier or check your account to enable international calling or add sufficient credit
