Get my US numberDoes it work in Spain?

You can call US and Canadian numbers with it (300 minutes a month included). It cannot call Spanish numbers or other countries.
What is the time difference with the US?
How far ahead Madrid is of the main US time zones:
| US city | US summer time | US winter time |
|---|---|---|
| New York | 6 hours ahead | 6 hours ahead |
| Chicago | 7 hours ahead | 7 hours ahead |
| Los Angeles | 9 hours ahead | 9 hours ahead |
When it is 9:00 in New York, it is 15:00 in Madrid in US winter and 15:00 in US summer.
Europe and the US change their clocks on different dates, so for a few weeks in March and in October or November the gap is one hour smaller.
Mainland Spain is usually 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles; the Canary Islands are one hour behind the mainland. Your afternoon is the best time for East Coast calls.
