I see that Spain in a country included in long distance add on. Does that include the Canary Islands? They are not geographically in the country of Spain, but are located off the coast of Africa. Thanks for the help.

@BPrior : ~~I think you need your GPS re-calibrated. They're off the coast of Africa...not Spain. And no the Canary Islands would not be callable using PM other than calling cards or voip apps.~~

Edit: lol YMMV

The Canary Islands are part of the country of Spain. But as I said located off the African coast. A bit like the US and Hawaii.

thanks for the info. I suspected they would not be but you never know.

@BPrior : So much for my geography and reading skills. I didn't know Spain "owned" them. Then yes...I called Ikea there and they answered. That was my edit above.

@BPrior

Canary Island and Spain share the same country code (34).. i think there is a chance it is included.

but I would open a ticket with Mod to confirm.

(honest, this is a tough questions.. I need to dig into my Geography books as well as my Politics books)

Despite the fact that they’re geographically part of the African continent. But they ‘belong’ to Europe. As mentioned above, they’re actually recognized under the protectorate of Spain and are therefore European

I like you talked about US and Hawaii.. I guess US roaming covers Hawaii and Alaska , too.. So, there is a chance Canary islands is included.

@softech : Google Maps, zoom down to a large centre, find a recognizable name with a pointer, click on the pointer, find a phone number, call it...see what happens. The Ikea test was of course all Spanish but I made out Ikea. It was in Tenerife. And it wasn't a PM recording.

As a test....google a restaurant in the Canary Islands.....call it and ask if they take reservations.

UK is country code +44, Gibraltar is +350, so in this case no - not included.... Or so I thought!!

Tried calling "GIBFIBRE" at +350 225 000000 - and initially I got the "Public Mobile here, sorry your call cannot be completed as dialed and try again" but then it actually went through! Tried again, and got the PM message, but call was ended. 3rd call went through again... none of them show in the PM call logs. Calls to a few other numbers all die after the "Sorry..." message. 🤔
