You enter your US mobile phone number in the standard international format that is used in Spain, starting with +1. This is not the issue.I keep trying and I never receive the code. I have tried entering +1 or simply 1 before my phone number with and without spaces
I could not get this to work, but thanks for the attemptDon't know for sure but try the Spanish exit code to get international service (00) then the country code for North America (1) and then your 10 digit phone number.
The + is something that works with smartphones and the registration process might not be using that.
My phone is locked so no other SIMs possibleOn your next camino you could do what I do. I get a prepaid sim from Vodafone. It is easy and cheap and really easy to recharge if need be. They give you the option of using your home number or the Spanish number assigned to the sim card. I take the Spanish number. It does not affect anything at all in your contacts. Anyone who tries to call you on whatsapp or (if you have a plan that includes the United States) with your American number it will go through without an issue. It will avoid all these hassles and also makes it much easier to connect to Alert Cops.
Is there anything useful in that thread?There was a recent thread about this:
Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims
@trecile thanks for the link which I read. I did search for Xunta WiFi before but my search didn’t reveal that conversation.There was a recent thread about this:

Apparently not always. I've got a European number and never got it to work on the Sanabrés this past summer. The Spanish I talked to couldn't either.I had a search on the forum and on Reddit. The system appears to work for Spanish phone numbers and other European country phone numbers.
I take it that you all had the same issue as the OP, that is you needed to get a code by sms. And never got it?Apparently not always. I've got a European number and never got it to work on the Sanabrés this past summer. The Spanish I talked to couldn't either.
Yes, no code ever came tbrough.I take it that you all had the same issue as the OP, that is you needed to get a code by sms. And never got it?
Correct. I tried multiple times in different Xunta albergues and although I followed all the steps required, I never received the code.I take it that you all had the same issue as the OP, that is you needed to get a code by sms. And never got it?
We solved it: hospitaleros have a different code for these cases. Just ask themI am staying at the Xunta municipal albergue in Nejeira on the Camino Finisterre
To get internet Wifi you have to connect to a registration WiFi network and fill out a form with your phone number. The service says it will text a code to use on the actual WiFi network that has internet service
I keep trying and I never receive the code. I have tried entering +1 or simply 1 before my phone number with and without spaces
Nothing works for me. I had the same problem at a previous Xunta albergue
Does anyone know how to get this WiFi code sent to a USA phone number?
Thanks, Maurice Frank
