The +34 comes before the number and is dropped when you dial inside Spain.

A Spanish phone number checker reads a number's format first and then checks it against Spain's numbering plan.

This is the path one check takes. A number can be written correctly and still not be assigned to anyone, so the format check alone is not the answer.

What one Spanish phone number check does
  1. You enter the numberType it the way it is written at home, such as 612 34 56 78, or paste it with +34.
  2. Its format is checkedEach type of number has its own rules. A mobile needs 9 digits after +34 and starts with 6 or 7 at home.
  3. It is checked against the numbering planNumbers outside the US and Canada are checked against the numbering plan of their country, which for this page is Spain's.Nothing is sent to the number, so it never rings and its owner is never told.
  4. You see valid or invalidWith the line type and country in a few seconds, and the carrier or network where one is listed.

A Spanish mobile number has 9 digits after +34 and starts with 6 or 7, so any other length is not a valid mobile.

These lengths come from the numbering data for Spain.

Three common mistakes make a Spanish number fail the check, and each one is quick to fix.

  1. Repeating +34 adds digits.

    Write +34 612 34 56 78 once, with the country code at the front.

  2. Typing too few or too many digits makes a number invalid.

    A mobile number has 9 digits after +34. With 8 or 10 it cannot be a valid mobile, so look for a missing or doubled digit.

  3. Leaving the wrong country selected changes how the number is read.

    The checker reads a number by the rules of the country selected above, so keep Spain selected for a +34 number. Paste a number with its + and country code and the country is read from the number itself.

These are the questions people ask most about checking Spanish phone numbers.

How do I check if a Spanish phone number is valid?

Enter the number in the box above with Spain selected. The free checker returns valid or invalid in seconds, with the line type and country. Type it the way it is written at home, such as 612 34 56 78, or in full as +34 612 34 56 78.

How many digits is a Spanish phone number?

A mobile number has 9 digits after +34. A landline has 9 digits after +34, such as +34 91X XX XX XX.

What does a Spanish mobile number start with?

Mobile numbers start with 6 or 7 at home, which is 6 or 7 after +34.

How do I write a Spanish number for an app or an SMS tool?

Use the E.164 form: a plus sign, 34, then the number and no spaces, such as +34612345678.

Does the Spanish phone number checker show the carrier?

It shows the carrier or network where one is listed. Numbers outside the US and Canada are checked against the numbering plan of their country rather than live carrier data, so some come back with no carrier name.

Does valid mean the Spanish number is active?

No. Valid means the number is real, correctly written for Spain and assigned. Whether a line is switched on and reachable right now is a different question, and the free HLR lookup answers it.

Can I check a whole list of Spanish phone numbers?

Yes. This free tool checks one number at a time. A 7-day free trial opens CSV upload and the API, at 1 credit a number.

Does the person know I checked their number?

No. The check reads records only. No call or text goes to the number, so its owner is never told.

What are the landline area codes of Madrid and Barcelona?

The codes are 91 for Madrid and 93 for Barcelona. From abroad you dial +34 and then the code, so Madrid is +34 91. The area code is part of the digits of a landline number.

You can check numbers from other countries on their own pages.
