Spain Phone Number Validator & Carrier Lookup
Spain uses a closed nine-digit plan with no trunk prefix — you always dial all nine digits, and the leading 9 of a landline is part of the subscriber number, not an access code. Mobiles begin with 6 or 7; fixed lines begin with 9 or 8 and are province-coded (91 Madrid, 93 Barcelona, 96 Valencia). The market runs on four networks: Movistar, Vodafone, MasOrange (the 2024 Orange–MásMóvil merger, carrying the Orange and Yoigo brands) and newcomer Digi.

Spain phone number format
Spain numbers carry the +34 country code and are written in full, with no separate national trunk prefix. Mobile and fixed-line ranges are distinguished by their leading digits and returned as a line_type you can filter on.
Spain mobile operators & prefixes
Each mobile prefix is allocated to a specific operator. Veriphone returns that operator from the CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia) numbering plan, along with line type.
Plus 38 smaller networks (MVNOs), including Lebara, DIA, Carrefour, Lycamobile, Republica Movil. Veriphone resolves each to its host network.
Fixed-line area codes
For landline numbers, Veriphone returns the city or region where the numbering plan resolves one. Mobile numbers are non-geographic and carry no city.
Questions about Spain number validation
Does a leading 6 versus 7 tell you fixed line versus mobile?
No — both 6 and 7 are mobile ranges; fixed lines start with 9 or 8. Only the 70x block differs, being personal/redirect numbering rather than an ordinary mobile.
Can I read the carrier off the number's prefix?
Not reliably. Since portability arrived in 2000 the prefix only shows the original allocation; a 6xx block once assigned to Movistar may now be served by Vodafone, MasOrange or Digi. Use mode=current for the operator currently serving a ported number.
Is Lebara one of Spain's major carriers?
No. Lebara is an MVNO that rides on the MasOrange (Orange) network. The actual network operators are Movistar, Vodafone, MasOrange (Orange/Yoigo) and Digi.
Does Spain need a trunk 0 before the number?
No. It is a closed plan with no trunk prefix — dial the full nine digits nationally, and the 9 or 8 at the start of a landline is simply the first digit of the number, not an access code.
