Hi all. I'm moving to Sucina shortly from the UK. Do I need a separate phone to contact people in Spain? 🤔

No you don't need a separate phone to contact people in Spain BUT...

Calls from a UK mobile to a UK mobile in Spain will be included in your call tariff.

However if you call a Spanish mobile or a Spanish landline from your UK mobile you will be outside the terms of you mobile contract.

Could be quite high call charges.

Double check with your provider.
