Call does not connect

Verify you have dialed 00 34 and the correct 9-digit number without a leading zero. Check that your internet connection is stable. Some special numbers (government offices, toll-free lines) may not be reachable internationally; try a standard mobile or landline number instead.

Poor audio quality

Move to a location with stronger internet signal or Wi-Fi. Audio quality depends on your connection, not the destination. If the problem persists, try calling at a different time.

High rates for certain numbers

Sayfone rates are transparent and fixed per minute. Premium or business numbers in Spain may have their own surcharges from the Spanish carrier, not from Sayfone.

Cannot reach a specific number

Some Spanish businesses or automated systems may restrict international calls. If you cannot reach a number repeatedly, contact them via email or ask for an alternative contact number.
