What are the codes for phoning mobiles in Eire?

Answer 1

If the mobile number is, for example, 0851234567 then do the following:

1. Dial out of the UK: 00
2. Dial into Rep. of Ireland: 353
3. Dial the mobile number prefix: 85 (without the leading 0)
4. Dial the remainder of the mobile number: 1234567

All together this is:

00 353 85 1234567

Please note that the following may prevent you from calling the number:

1. You may have call barring applied by your service provider
2. The number you are dialling may no longer be in service

Answer 2

Mobile phone numbers in Ireland start with 083, 084, 085, 086 or 087. To dial one you need to prefix the international dialling code for Ireland, which is 353 and remove the first zero. You will also need the international access code to dial Another Country from your country and dial that at the very start. So from the USA you would dial: 011 353 and then the mobile number without its first zero. If it was from Britain you would dial 00 353 and then the mobile number without its first zero.

Answer 3

Replace the Irish trunk prefix 0 with country code +353. (landlines and mobiles)

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 4

The Republic of Ireland is country code +353. Note that you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the beginning of the Irish number when calling from outside the Republic of Ireland, including calling from Northern Ireland. Irish mobile numbers begin with 08X, which becomes +353 8X in international format.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

The international access prefix from the UK, as well as most of Europe and many other parts of the world, is 00.

Answer 5

Replace the trunk prefix 0 of the UK number (landline or mobile) with country code +44, including the plus symbol.

Fictitious example: to call London (020) 7946-0123, dial +442079460123

Note that there is a special shortcut for calls to landlines in Northern Ireland. Replace the UK area code 028 with the special Irish code 048. Fictitious example: to call Belfast (028) 9018-0123, dial 048-9018-0123, or alternatively +442890180123

Answer 6

Replace the leading 0 of the UK number with country code +44 (including the plus symbol).
