        <p>Hi, moving to Spain next month and have a question.</p>

<p>If I order Telefonica ADSL and do not want landline telephony on the same connection do I still have to pay the phone subscription? In the UK you still pay BT for landline even if you dont use it.</p>

        <p>Heeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllppppppppppppp! </p>

<p>I really need the internet for my new business, but have been told by both Jazztel and Telefonica that they have no ADSL coverage in my area!</p>

<p>Although Telfonica will give me a landline&#8230;.</p>

        <p>Seeing there is a seperate forum for this, I was wondering:</p>

<p>Sure, Telefonica is expensive, but this bad?</p>

<p>Lately, we were getting more and more dropping of our adsl during and after rain.<br />
One call to telefonica had a technician at our place the next day. Him realizing it was a major job, he fixed it the best he could.<br />
The next day he came back to put whole new cabling in from the junction box at the beginning of the street. Ended up almost a full day´s work for three people! (ok, at a spanish pace.)</p>

<p>The first time we got connected, it took a whole 3 days to recieve their usb thingy in the mail. One phone call later i had the username/pwd combo, and of we were&#8230;</p>

<p>I have more examples, generally to do with an afterservice i am quite impressed with.</p>

<p>Is it location within Spain? Would the south be a little more laid back?

        <p>Off to Spain shortly to study and need to find the best deal sim-only to use while there in my iphone4 unlocked. PAYG sims cost c 30c/txt on Movistar which is bloody awful compared with UK texting at 12p. (Am aware of texting via Viber -the web-based method with other smartphone users) Can anyone suggest a cheaper route for a heavy texter?

        <p>I just wanted to do a quick straw poll - are you happy with your mobile provider in Spain? If not, what would make you switch to a new mobile provider? We are currently researching the possiblity of launching a new mobile network in Spain (and would obviously offer, with the mods approval, free SIM cards to all Spain Expat members! .</p>

<p>Thoughts greatly appreciated.

        <p>I recently moved to Malaga Capital from Granada province.&nbsp; In Granada I had a duo ADSL and fixed line.&nbsp; The day before I left I telephoned Telefonica  to request a transfer to Malaga. They told me no problem and said I would need a new number. I also indicated to them that I no longer required a line nor ADSL at my current address as I would be moving to Malaga. They told me that it was to be actioned immediately.</p>

<p>When I arrived in Malaga, they connected me the following day and never indicated that the other line was still in use.</p>

<p>I have been away and recently noticed that they are charging me for both my new line and the old one including the ADSL. I telephoned to explain and complain and re-indicate that I had been imformed that my former line would cease as of the 1st July. </p>

<p>My Spanish is sufficient to understand what the Telefonica person was telling me, that I had a contract with them that would not end until July 2012, ie that I would have to pay for both my lines until next year.&nbsp; They have agreed to refund me a small sum excluding the VAT, but not to resolve the problem.</p>

<p>Please could somebody tell me if they have experienced this when moving from one location in Spain to another and if so, how to deal with it, as my patience is running out and I cannot have another futile argument with them, where they are always right and keep taking my money from the bank.
