Buy an Irish Virtual Phone Number

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 number from your own country for Ireland. If you do not have an Irish company or CRO number, consider a separate phone number from your own country dedicated to your Irish customers. 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.

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.

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 operates on GMT/IST, which aligns well with most European business hours and makes scheduling straightforward.

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.
