0818 numbers — we find one for you

An 0818 number for your business.

National, with no area code. Wherever you move within Ireland, the number stays the same — and your customer pays no more than for a national call, which landline bundles include.

One Irish link is enough: a CRO or VAT number, an Irish trademark, a charity number or premises in Ireland

National numbers

The difference is who pays for the call

Your customer calls an 0818 for no more than a national call, inside landline bundles. With 1800 you pay for the call. That is the whole distinction — the rest is the same platform.

Why national

Your address changes. Your number doesn't have to.

Your phone number is the most permanent thing your business has: it is on your invoices, in Google, on your building and in every customer's phone. A regional area code ties that fixed fact to your address — and that is exactly the least fixed thing there is.

No need to move it

A bigger office, a second branch, a team working from home

With an 0818 nothing changes as long as you stay in Ireland. No new number, no transition period, no reprinting, no customers calling an old number. The number is not tied to any area code, and that is exactly the point — most businesses move more often than they think.

One number for the whole of Ireland

Your customers are not all in the same county

An 01 tells someone in Cork that you are a Dublin business. Sometimes that is exactly what you want. If you work nationwide, an 0818 says the only thing that is true: that you can be reached everywhere. No false proximity, no explanation needed.

You choose one, so the choice counts

The rule of thumb is short. Do you need to be found by people in one region who don’t know you yet — a dentist, a garage, an installer who depends on “nearby”? Then a regional number helps, because Google uses it as a location signal. Does your work come from all over Ireland, from existing customers or by referral? Then that area code earns you nothing and only limits you at your first move. In doubt, give us a call — that costs you two minutes and us a wrong order.

What it costs

The number comes with the plan

You pay for the people you add to the number, not for the number itself and not for the handsets.

Shared handsets never count. The phone on reception, in the waiting room or in the meeting room costs nothing extra — you pay per person, not per device. Above eight people we put together a custom plan.

For your caller it is never more than a national call, and landline bundles include it. There is no surcharge on top, which is the difference from a premium-rate number and the reason 0818 suits customer contact.

Do you need to be found by people in one region who don’t know you yet, such as a dentist, a garage or an installer? Then a local number helps, because Google uses the area code as a location signal. If your work comes from all over Ireland, from existing customers or by referral, a regional area code earns you nothing and an 0818 number is the better choice, because it stays the same when you move.

Within Ireland, nothing. An 0818 number is not tied to a city or region, so it moves with you to your new address without a transition period or new printing. Your customers simply call the number they already know.

Not necessarily an office, but you do need one Irish link: a CRO or VAT number, an Irish trademark, a charity number or premises in Ireland. That is ComReg’s rule for 0818 numbers, not a condition of ours, and we check it before the number goes live.

Yes, and it costs nothing. We arrange the switch with your current provider and plan the changeover on a date that suits you. It takes five working days at most and you are not unreachable for a moment. Read more about number porting.

An 0818 phone number is an Irish national, non-geographic business number. It is not tied to a city or region, so it presents the same nationwide image wherever your office actually sits, which makes it a common choice for support lines, sales lines and head-office numbers.

The fastest way is the request on this page: tell us which number you’re after, and we’ll find a free one and send you a proposal within one working day. Your number can then be set up straight away with extra telephone functions.
