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 requires a link with Ireland: an Irish company or VAT number, a trademark valid in Ireland, or an establishment there; which one you have, we check with you before you order. A local geographic number requires an establishment in the number’s area-code zone.

Q: Do I need a local address in Ireland?

For a local geographic number , yes: it requires an establishment in the number’s area-code zone. For 1800 toll-free and 818 national numbers, a link with Ireland is enough: an Irish company or VAT number, a trademark valid in Ireland, or an establishment there. Which one you have, we check with you before you order. This is one of the stricter requirements in Europe, but we guide you through the process.

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 dialed 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The 1850 and 1890 number ranges were withdrawn by ComReg as of 1 January 2022 as part of a simplification of non-geographic numbers. These have been replaced by 818 standard rate numbers.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. Which number you can have depends on one thing: whether you have an address in Ireland. Below is what is possible either way.

The question that decides everything

Which Irish number can your business have?

In Ireland the regulator decides which Irish number you can have. Some numbers need your business to have an address in Ireland; below you can see what is possible for each number. Where the rule is not settled, we check it with you beforehand.

What a number abroad costs

€49 per monthper number

The same amount in each of the fourteen countries — an Irish number costs no more than a number at home. Including the full phone system: forwarding, IVR menu, call queue, call recording and statistics.

Just testing the market

€250 per yearprepaid

One line, one forwarding number, no features. For anyone who first wants to know whether the phone rings at all before setting up a phone system. That is less than €21 a month — under half the full rate, with exactly one thing that works: the number rings and the call reaches you.

And the call charges

Those depend on where the call goes

A call that arrives in Ireland and goes on to a VoIP line in your own country costs a different amount from one to an Irish mobile. You get that rate with your proposal; it is the one thing we cannot put on the page, because it differs per route.

Why you can get this from us

We are the operator, not the middleman

Foreign numbers can be sold in two ways: by buying them in from someone else, or by holding the license yourself. You only notice the difference when something out of the ordinary is needed — an urgent change, a non-standard routing, a question from the regulator.

How it works

From request to a ringing phone

You tell us what you need
Which city or which type, and whether you have an Irish address. If you're not sure, we'll look at it with you.
We check and send a quote
Within one business day you get a proposal with the current rates and an honest answer on whether it can be done. Sometimes the answer is that a 1800 number will serve you better than a local number.
The registration
For local numbers we submit the proof of address to the regulator. That is the only part you have to wait for.
Forwarding to your team
The call arrives in Ireland and lands with your team, wherever they work. The caller dials an Irish number and never notices the difference.
