    011 353 8xxxxxxxxx
    or else +353 8 xxxxxxxx might work.

    Why do people give dud information in a forum? The intl code for Ireland is 353 and the Intl access code in the US is 011 or + for mobiles from any country so flodis79 is spot on.

    http://international-directories.cqpress.com/worldwide-directory-defense-authorities/dialInfo.aspx

    011353851234567 or
    +353851234567

    1huge1 and Lawless_Samurai are taking the piss.

    Just use +353 and drop the first zero to save yourself any confusion with other dialing variations.

    Using the plus (+) before the country code is a specification for GSM implementation to avoid the problem of having to figure out the various international dialling sequences of different countries.
