Texting to spain or gibraltar - do I put a code in the number?

My mother is either in Spain at her place or at my brothers in gib. Its her birthday and I want to send a text.

Anyone know if I have to put the code in first and drop the 0 like you do phoning from there to here. Spain is 34 so do I put in 34 then the number without the 0?

It depends ..... you don't say whether she has a mobile with a UK number or a Spanish one. If Spanish then you should be using the code anyhow .... If she has a UK mobile then just text/phone as normal with her UK (07*****) number. The networks sort out the call routing.

She will pay for an incoming text/call - how much depends on who she's with etc etc.

You don't pay to receive text messages abroad, only calls. Also it doesn't cost you anymore to send a text to someone who is abroad than it does within the UK
