Talk:Communications in Gibraltar

message: 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.

message: Even as a Gibraltarian I can see the strong political bias against Spain in this article. Originally Gibraltar CHOSE to be incorporated into the Cadiz regional 956 prefix, being given 9567, 9565 and later 9564. The main reason at the time was pragmatic. To keep calls to Spain cheaper.
:Its not my recollection that Gibraltar CHOSE, but that it was imposed unilaterally by Spain.  However this is Wikipedia so produce a reference. If the telephone dispute looks petty and childish on the part of Spain then that is an accurate presentation of the issue. Nobody has yet come up with an explanation of it in any other terms.  The cost of calls to and from countries is not controlled by routing codes but by the rates that the carriers set on them, and being part of the spanish telephone network was costly to Gibraltar. --Gibnews (talk) 13:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Historically inacurate

message: 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.

thread_title: Merging 'the dispute' with communications

message: That reads a bit too much like a commercial press release, and is speculative in places. --Gibnews 14:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)
