Talk:Communications in Gibraltar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-- Request to update --
From 10-Feb-07 the only valid prefix to call from Spain to Gibraltar will be +350, tha actual prefix 9567 will dissapears this date. (unsigned)
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and past experience is that its safer to wait and see with the Spanish Government as they do not always keep to agreements.

[edit] Merging 'the dispute' with communications
As the author of both articles, I think they deal with seperate issues. I was looking forward to someone trying to rationalise why Spain blocks my phones, and its better to keep the dispute off a purely informational page about Gibraltar communications.
The word on the street is that Britain are giving them a 200m euro bung to stop playing silly buggers so it may all be over in a few months, unless the telecom companies wish to continue legal action for loss of profits.

If nobody else has an opinion to the contrary, I suggest the proposal to merge is dropped, until such time as the dispute is resolved and can be added to the history section.

[edit] Sapphire
That reads a bit too much like a commercial press release, and is speculative in places. --Gibnews 14:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Amena
The company may have been taken over by Orange, however as of the present date the local cell accessible in Gibraltar still identifies itself as AMENA and blocks access from my GIBTEL mobile. --Gibnews (talk) 21:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
