=== Telecom dispute ===
{{main|Telecom dispute between Gibraltar and Spain}}

Telecommunication services in Gibraltar were subject to [[Telecom dispute between Gibraltar and Spain|Spanish restrictions]] until 10 February 2007. Subsequent to the resolution of the dispute, the Gibraltar telephone numbering plan has been increased to eight digits for land lines, adding a prefix of 200 to the existing Gibtelecom five digit numbers which is required to be dialled from October 2008.

Gibtelecom was also prevented from having roaming agreements with Spanish [[GSM]] networks so its mobile phones did not operate in Spain. Gibtelecom had roaming arrangements with local GSM networks in most other countries. After the [[Córdoba Agreement]], Gibtel (Gibtelecom's mobile service) could roam on Spanish network [[Movistar]] ([[Telefónica]]). As of recent customers can now roam on [[Vodafone Spain|Vodafone]] and [[Yoigo]]. [[Orange España|Orange]] still (September 2008) identifies as AMENA and does not allow Gibraltar phones to register.
