Non-189* ISP number request

daymobrew · 2006-04-18 15:24:54

My father-in-law uses eircom.net as his free ISP, dialling 1891-150-150. As he has eircom talktime he'd like to use a non-1891 number. Does anyone know such a number for eircom.net (or another ISP)?

I have noted the numbers in a 2 yr old thread but want to see if there are any updates before I phone him with the info.

I found the link for O2's dial up numbers after trawling through this forum. Too me ages to find it. Here:

Cool. Was looking for a local number to call - free internet! Do you know if O2 offer free passwords too, or is it a subscription service. Also, do you need to be an O2 customer?

get a speakeasy sim card and register that online for an email addy.

Logon using a DUN username would be username@o2.ie and password.

Works a treat.

You don't need a mobine phone number even!:) There's an option on the registering page that allows you to do this. That's what I did. I'm with Vodafone.

Just use your username e.g. "username@o2.ie" and password in the dialup connect box.

the o2 website is changing soon so that you have to be a customer in order to have an account - i guess this is why bond-007 suggested that.

i think o2 have or are suspending their dialup internet aswell anyways ..
