Some do and some don't.

In my experience, you'll have to buy Spanish - the cables (plugs at ends) are different anyway.

Given the right adaptor to connect to a Spanish socket they will make/receive calls.

The only potential problem is that they may not ring as the circuitry is different.

Try it and if it has problems buy a Spanish phone.

NB:
Avoid 2.4 GHZ cordless units if you have WiFi internet, will interfere with the signal [ now and then ]

Ensure 5.8ghz.
