If from this Saturday someone calls you to sell you something, the number will start with 400.

In Spain, commercial calls will have a new identifier from Saturday, 17 October, as they will be required to use the prefix 400. Companies making calls to offer products, promote services or attract new customers will have to use numbers starting with these three digits. The aim is to allow consumers to recognise commercial calls before answering and decide whether to take the call.
