No you need credit.
Bundle allowances are for uk calls only.

call costs for international calls etc can be found here http://international.o2.co.uk/internationaltariffs/calling_abroad_from_uk

Like @MI5 said, alas.

 

Now if that number in Tenerife was a +44.... number, no problem.

 

Or if your number here in the UK was a +34.... number, also free.

 

"Free" calling/texting/data in the EU zone only applies when you are roaming, y'see, @disco-kid, and then only for a certain time period not to exceed (60 days in a year, I think?).
