Best deal for mobilescalls in spain to ireland

Hi guys, anyone any info on phoning from Spain to Ireland. I have a pre pay phone and it cost me a fortune to send and receive texts and receive a couple of phone calls.
Had to get a friend to top up my credit twice for a 10 day holiday. Feel I am being totally ripped off. maybe there is some clever clogs out there who can outwit these robbers.

Personally I don't think there are any good deals for roaming calls so I buy a €10 call card and use the public pay phones. That €10 gets you 60 mins of call back to Ireland.

Thanks askalot, I have used call cards and they are great for land line calls, but it would be so handy to use mobile sometimes and not pay a fortune to receive and send calls/texts.

If you travel to spain often it might be worth buying a spanish sim card and put it in your phone. Just have to make sure that your phone is unlocked.

I spoke with someone recently who signed up with skype and figured out how to just find wireless hotspots to make virtually free calls. might be worth looking into

Hi - think this might be your best option :

Check the prices on their website - they're not bad for roaming.

I bought a Spanish sim card when I was over there. It is called "Happy". I was in a phone shop and I met an english man there who told me that Happy were the cheapest for Land Line calls. The cost is 6cent per min plus 35cent connection fee. I usually use my Irish phone for texts home. But if you want to have a long call then "Happy" is best. My other half also has a spanish phone and we use them to get in touch with each other when we go off alone. No charge for the texts between "Happy" customers!!

If you turn off delivery reports that saves a good bit
