Q: What types of Irish phone numbers can I register?

We offer three main types: 1800 toll-free numbers which are free for callers, 818 national numbers for a nationwide presence at standard local rates, and local geographic numbers (e.g., 01 for Dublin, 021 for Cork, 061 for Limerick) for a city-specific presence. A 1800 or 818 number needs a link with Ireland: an Irish company or VAT number, a trade mark valid in Ireland, or an establishment in Ireland. A local number needs an establishment in its area-code zone, so you get the area code of the place where your business is based.

Q: Do I need a local address in Ireland?

For a local geographic number , yes: it needs an establishment in the area-code zone of the number, so the area code follows where your business is based. For 1800 toll-free and 818 national numbers, a link with Ireland is enough: an Irish company or VAT number, a trade mark valid in Ireland, or an establishment in Ireland. Which one you have, we check with you before you order.

Q: How does the 1800 toll-free number work in Ireland?

A 1800 number allows customers to call you for free from any Irish landline or mobile network. You, as the number owner, cover the call costs. This is widely used for customer service lines in Ireland and removes any cost barrier for your callers. Note that 1800 toll-free numbers can only be dialled from within Ireland — they cannot be called from abroad.

Q: What is the format for Irish phone numbers?

Irish numbers start with the country code +353 . Number length varies depending on the area code. Dublin uses the short area code 01 with a 7-digit subscriber number. Other cities use longer area codes like 021 (Cork) or 061 (Limerick) with shorter subscriber numbers. When advertising internationally, use the format +353 1 1234567 for a Dublin number (dropping the leading 0). Domestically, it would be 01 1234567 .

Q: Who regulates Irish telephone numbers?

ComReg (the Commission for Communications Regulation) is the authority responsible for telecoms regulation in Ireland, including the assignment of telephone numbers to registered providers.

Q: What happened to 1850 and 1890 numbers in Ireland?

The 1850 and 1890 number ranges were withdrawn by ComReg as of 1 January 2022 as part of a simplification of non-geographic numbers. These have been replaced by 818 standard rate numbers. If you previously used an 1850 or 1890 number, you should migrate to an 818 or 1800 number.

Irish customers call an Irish number, and that makes a difference to both response and trust. Below are the numbers on offer and what they cost.
