Reliable callback wanted (Spain)

What landline provider in Spain charges 40c/min? I presume that the rate to call a spanish fixed line number? That is outrageous! Calling "fijos" in Spain is inclusive on almost all plans from all providers these days. (Even telefonica). So for most people, using the 91 gateway numbers of Betamax clones (e.g. Dialnow and Rynga) is a great way to make international calls for very cheap or in most cases free! I even use one of these for Spanish mobiles as through that I pay 5c/min to mobile but my line provider charges close to 15c/min. Still nothing close to 40 though!

Are you sure she is paying that? Is she living in a hotel or nursing home or shared private exchange? If so I really can't believe the skanky bastards who control the rates she has to pay. But if she owns the line, tell her she needs to change provider. If not she should get a new line installed. Its only around 12euros a month including free calls to landlines all over spain. I can give some advice for that! However I presume you have talked all this through?

Unfortunately, Betamax do not do callbacks that are triggered by a missed call and CLI. However there are a number of other providers with 0044 and 001 triggers. These are a bit of a pain though, as the number is long, and being International, sometimes the triggering call gets charged by a few seconds. I don't know why, but thats a problem on the Spanish end. As far as I know there are no triggers with Spanish DID's.

I will investigate, maybe she was not right. She told me that it's not possible there (it's a Finca near Ronda/Malaga) to get a "normal" provider, therefore she has to accept these apocalyptic rates of a special private provider.
The number is 952872xxx if that is of help to you.
