moviestar pay as you go
I am moving to Spain september and bought a moviestar pay as you go sim about 1 a month a go whilst in spain for a week making final arrangements for our move, and was shocked how much money i was having to load on this mobile. I visited moviestars site and see it is very expensive to ring cross network mobiles (12 times the cost).
I would very much appreciate any advise on monitoring/saving money on a pay as u go sim,eg is it possible to identify moviestar numbers.
Many thanks

Re: moviestar pay as you go
I too would be interested in latest views about cost of making Mobile calls. As part of the research I see that The Phone House (Spanish phone Warehouse) post a PDF of current charges:

Re: moviestar pay as you go
I was on Movistar and got fed up with the credit running out of date, also you need to top up to save losing your old credit if the phone is used sparingly.
I changed to Vodafone and dialed in their Vitamina plan, I can talk to local landlines and other Vodafones "talk 60mins pay for 1 min" ,also the credit is ongoing and for every 20€`s you put on it you get 10`s extra free.
PS Nige I think those prices on link are contracts ?

Re: moviestar pay as you go
Yes they are contracts and pre pay. Look at page two.
I have used MOVISTAR and pre pay but never understand the tariffs. I also Top Up using my BBVA bank a/c web site - fairly easy task. Can do anywhere in the world and for as little as 5 euros a time. But someone told me you can do the same using MOVISTAR website but that's far TOO CONFUSING.
