how to use basic phone abroad?

[DellaDi_1881437]

Hi,  My little nokia is a basic phone with no internet or anything like that, so do I need to do anything to it when  i go abroad to spain later in the year?

I would probably not be using it anyway, but will have it just in case, so need to know if it will work.

I would be grateful for any feedback.

If you're not using mobile data when you're in Spain, your basic Nokia will probably work okay for calls and texts @DellaDi_1881437.

If you post the model your using, another community member may be able to confirm if the device will actually work, though I suspect it will be fine.

Thank you for your reply.  Having had a reply from another community member, as well as you, saying much the same, so I am sure it will be fine, but my phone is  a Nokia TA-1386.  

Many thanks again.

@DellaDi_1881437 I think it should work just fine, but I do wonder if you may need to prefix calls to UK mobiles with +44. (If they don't work straight off, then try dealing with the prefix).

Currently, you can roam in EU countries with no extra cost, so should be fine.

Thanks so much for that.

As others have said, you will be fine.

I use a basic “Mobiwire” brand phone abroad sometimes. Just like your Nokia, it isn’t a smartphone, doesn’t connect to the internet. Your Nokia and you will be fine.
