Who is this page for?
You are a business owner or manager looking for an Irish phone number.
Whether you are expanding into Ireland for the first time or need a local support line for existing customers, you are in the right place. Below we explain which number types are available, what the regulations require, and how we set everything up for you — typically within one business day.
Unlock the Irish market
An Irish phone number gives your business a dedicated local presence in one of your closest trading partners. It makes it easier for Irish customers to reach you at domestic rates and signals commitment to the Irish market.
We provide authentic Irish (+353) phone numbers that forward directly to your existing landline or mobile. No Irish office, no new hardware, no complicated setup.
Your business appears local to every caller, whether they are in Dublin, Cork, or Galway.
Why Ireland?
Ireland is one of the most dynamic economies in Europe with a population of 5.1 million and one of the highest GDPs per capita in the EU. The country is a European hub for technology, pharmaceuticals, financial services, and professional services — home to the European headquarters of companies like Google, Apple, Meta, Pfizer, and Medtronic.
Dublin is a major centre for tech, fintech, and international business, and Ireland consistently ranks among the top countries globally for ease of doing business, foreign direct investment, and workforce quality.
Ireland trade is among the closest in the world, supported by the Common Travel Area, shared language, and deeply intertwined supply chains. Ireland is your fifth-largest export market and the only English-speaking country remaining in the EU single market.
For businesses, Ireland offers a familiar, English-speaking market with strong purchasing power and a business culture that values personal relationships and local presence.
The Common Travel Area advantage
your home country and Ireland share a unique relationship through the Common Travel Area, which predates EU membership and continues after Brexit. This means that business between the two countries flows more naturally than with almost any other market.
Your your team already speaks the language, understands the culture, and operates in the same time zone. Adding an Irish phone number is the simplest way to formalise that presence and signal to Irish customers that you are serious about serving their market.
CallFactory lets you manage Irish, your home country, and other European numbers from a single account, with consistent features and a unified platform. Your existing call routing and IVR configurations transfer directly.
Which Irish number is right for you?
Not sure which type to choose? Here is a quick guide.
1800 numbers are toll-free for the caller, making them ideal for customer service and support lines. They signal that you take customer communication seriously and remove any cost barrier for Irish callers.
818 numbers are national numbers that give you a professional Irish presence at standard local rates. They replaced the older 1850 and 1890 ranges and are included in most Irish phone bundles.
Local geographic numbers carry a city area code like 01 (Dublin), 021 (Cork), 061 (Limerick), or 091 (Galway), which creates instant regional trust.
All Irish number types require a verifiable Irish address and an Irish company registration (CRO number).
Alternative: a dedicated your regular number for Ireland. If you do not have an Irish company or CRO number, consider a separate your phone number dedicated to your Irish customers. Irish callers are familiar with your regular numbers, and by using a dedicated line you can easily track all incoming calls from Ireland. This gives you call analytics for the Irish market without the regulatory requirements of an Irish number.
How to display your Irish number
Irish numbers start with the country code +353. Number length varies: Dublin uses the short area code 01 with a 7-digit subscriber number, while 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.
For toll-free numbers, use 1800 XXX XXX domestically. Do not advertise 1800 numbers in international format (+353 1800…) as this conflicts with working Dublin landline numbers.
For 818 national numbers, use +353 818 XXX XXX internationally or 818 XXX XXX domestically.
How it works
When a customer in Ireland dials your Irish number, the call is routed through our network and forwarded to wherever you choose: your landline, a mobile, a VoIP system, or a team of agents through a phone menu.
The caller hears a local Irish ringtone and, if you like, a professional welcome message in English generated by our text-to-speech engine. There is no noticeable delay or quality loss — the call sounds like any other domestic Irish call.
On your end, you answer the call as normal, with a short beep or announcement letting you know it came in on your Irish line so you can greet the caller appropriately.
You can also set up time-based routing so calls during Irish business hours go to your team, while calls outside those hours go to voicemail or an alternative destination. Ireland shares the same time zone as your home country (GMT/IST), which makes scheduling straightforward.
A partner you can trust
We have been a specialist virtual number provider established in the Netherlands in 2000 with Dutch management.
We are not a reseller — we run our own IVR platform and phone network, which means superior audio quality, full control over features, and no middlemen. Start simple with basic call forwarding, and scale up when you are ready. Need a fully custom-built IVR flow, dedicated servers, or private API access? We can build that too.
We are registered as a telecom provider in 14 EU countries, so as your business grows across Europe you stay with one provider instead of juggling multiple vendors.
Built for businesses expanding to Ireland
An Irish phone number from CallFactory fits naturally into several common scenarios.
Technology and SaaS companies serving Irish customers or operating alongside Dublin’s tech corridor can offer local support and sales lines that Irish users expect.
Pharmaceutical and life sciences companies working with Irish manufacturing sites, regulators, or research partners can maintain a professional local contact point in Europe’s leading pharma hub.
Financial services firms with Irish operations or clients can provide a dedicated Irish line for compliance, customer service, or relationship management.
E-commerce brands selling to Irish consumers can display a toll-free or local number on their Irish storefront, building trust in a market with high online shopping penetration.
Food and agriculture businesses trading with Irish producers or retailers can simplify communication with a domestic contact number.
Professional services firms such as consultants, accountants, or legal advisors working with Irish clients project a permanent local presence without maintaining a physical office.
Compliance and regulations
Irish telephone numbers are regulated by ComReg (the Commission for Communications Regulation).
CallFactory is registered with ComReg under number ERAU10001358, authorised to issue Irish virtual phone numbers in full compliance with Irish telecoms law.
All Irish number types — 1800 toll-free, 818 national, and local geographic — require a verifiable Irish address and an Irish company with a CRO (Companies Registration Office) number.
This makes Ireland one of the stricter markets in Europe for number registration, but we guide you through the entire process.

- question: >- Is CallFactory registered to provide Irish numbers? answer: >- Yes, CallFactory is registered with ComReg under number ERAU10001358, authorised to issue Irish virtual phone numbers in full compliance with Irish telecoms law.
- question: >- What happened to 1850 and 1890 numbers in Ireland? answer: >- 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.
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. All Irish number types require an Irish company registration (CRO number).
- question: >- Do I need a local address in Ireland? answer: >- Yes. All Irish phone numbers — 1800 toll-free, 818 national, and local geographic — require a verifiable Irish address and an Irish company registration (CRO number). This is one of the stricter requirements in Europe, but we guide you through the process.
- question: >- How does the 1800 toll-free number work in Ireland? answer: >- 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.
