As we are permanent residents, I registered our Spanish mobile phones in July this year .... but I overhead someone in the pub say that you have to re-register every 6 months.  Is this true?

I am not a regular contributor to EOS, but I have to say that it has been invaluable to me from when I first became a member.  When advise was asked, there was always a quick response and some private emails from members to help me with lists of things to do before the final move.

We purchased our property November 2006 and moved permanently at the end of June this year.  Without this site and members blogs, etc. I am sure we would still be struggling to get to grips with mobile phones, electricity and water bills, insurance, buying a car ....... I could go on and on.

I check on a regular basis to keep up to date with any new changes.

Long may EOS be around.

Hi Fred  -  thanks for the info, but we now live permanently in Costa Blanca.

We went into Cam Bank and we can buy US dollars with a commision rate of 0.2% - a big difference from Bankinter at 2.0%.  The exchange rate on the day when we enquired with Cam Bank was the same as we would get from Bankinter.  Do not need to be a customer of Cam Bank, we just have to take our passports when we do the transaction.

hi Claire - we went to the town hall (Playa Flamenca) at 1pm and went to the Padron desk - in less than 10 minutes, we were given our copies of our Padron!!

On the left as you enter the town hall, there is a guy on a desk where you can register for SIP (health care).  He said we could either go to Orihuela at 8am and queue up with our forms E106 and get them stamped that day.  If we leave the E106's with him, they will be stamped at the local hospital and returned within 7 to 10 days. He also requires an original of the Padron.   In the meantime if we give him our EHIC cards (E111) he can give us temporary SIP cards for 6 months, and can register us with a doctor at the same time.   We have decided to take up his offer, as we dont want to be trying to find the appropriate office in Orihuela at 8 am!!  Going back tomorrow to sort it out (forgot to take our E111 cards with us today).

Thanks to you and Mr Kevin for your help and advice.
