The history behind Spain phone numbers

• Pre-1990s: Spain's telephone numbering system started with a simple format, with area codes assigned to different provinces. The area codes were short, typically one to two digits long, and were followed by a five- or six-digit local number.
• 1990s: In the early 1990s, the country transitioned to a new numbering system, which was necessary due to the rapid growth of the telecommunications industry. The new system used a nine-digit format, where the first two digits were the area code, and the remaining seven digits were the local number. The area code system was expanded to accommodate more regions, which helped address the growing demand for new numbers.
• 1998: In December 1998, Spain implemented a new, nationwide telephone numbering plan called the "Plan Nacional de Numeración Telefónica" (National Telephone Numbering Plan). This plan introduced a closed numbering system with nine-digit numbers for all fixed and mobile lines. The first digit of the number indicated the type of service, followed by a three-digit area code and a five-digit local number. For instance, fixed lines started with "9," while mobile numbers started with "6" or "7."
• 2000s: In the 2000s, Spain's numbering system continued to evolve to accommodate the growing demand for mobile and other services. Special prefixes were assigned to specific services, such as toll-free numbers (starting with "800" or "900"), shared cost services (starting with "901" or "902"), and premium rate services (starting with "803," "806," or "807").
• Present: The current numbering system in Spain still follows the nine-digit structure established by the 1998 plan, with continuous updates to accommodate new services and technologies. The system is managed by the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), the national regulatory authority for telecommunications in Spain.
