Well Three are 083... and eircom have Meteor (085..)

Guys from Imagine came into my school around Christmas(I think) and gave us (4th year) surveys on what we would like from out mobile providers, they did a lot of marketing stuff, like what we would prefer, free credit or free mobile content when we topped up.. (and also asked what network we were on(some talk of buying us credit if we partcipated, and we might trial a new network, but that never happened)
I got the impression that they were serious about that venture but I've heard nothing since...

It's probably been provisionally assigned by ComReg to Imagine - 089 I think was assigned to Clever Communications, who were supposed to be offering a MNVO service.

Hmm sounds interesting the market seems to be opening up alot more, I dont think it would list it on a website with call charges if it wasnt nearly launched or already up and running. In the UK Tescos have started broadband phones with a number that people can call you anywhere in the world www.tescointernetphone.com

Its a good service with no line rental but you still get a landline number free of charge, you only pay 2p a minute for calls and its free to receive, I could sign up now even though im in Ireland but I would get a Belfast number!!! I hope it comes here.

It's just VOIP load sof companies offer it and you prob can get a Belfast num from one of them

I know I can get a Belfast one but I wanted a Irish one, anyway I found a company here that does the same thing www.blueface.ie they seem very good .

From a Comreg doc out just today (06/31), 084 is an MVNO prefix.
