Re: Movistar texts
keep eye on the Numbers that are sending you , 5xxx cost 90 cent
SMS / MMS / WAP / Premium Services
telphone numbers to watch out for In Spain, the charged-at-premium numbers begins with 80 or 90 (except the 800, 900 and 909, which are free, the 901 which is shared cost, the 902 which is like a provincial call and the 908 which is like a metropolitan call). The most popular prefixes are 803 (porn hot-lines) and 806 (services), also are used 807 and 905. Previously all the numbers starting with 90x (except 900, 901 and 902) were charged at premium rates but the 906 had been moved to 803, 806 and 807 and the 908 and 909 prefixes were created for Internet dialup services. All those numbers have 9 digits.
Also there are other range for information services (weather, white pages, etc...), there are all the numbers starting with 118, they can have 5 or 6 digits with a variable cost per number. 11818 is free from Telefónica's telephone cabins. Previously 11818 was 1003.

Re: Movistar texts
All those numbers really useful 
(think I'll delete the 803 in case OH notices!!) ... .
but do they charge you for receiving texts in the way you also have to pay to receive calls?
