UK/NI mobile phone numbers

ppink · 2011-07-07 10:22:56

Does anyone know if the phone numbers for mobiles in the north of Ireland are the same as those from UK? As in, if I phone a N Ireland mobile from the UK do you need to put international code in front or is it just the same as dialling a mobile in the UK. Will you know the phone is Ireland not UK? hope i explained that…

NI is in the UK so it's the same. No need for int code.

All networks in the north are UK networks, same as the mainland UK. To dial a uk number you will need to add 0044 to the number, dropping the first 0 of the number.

Thanks guys:)

Do you know if the numbers are clearly identifable as N Ireland numbers? I assume not? It will be a pay as you go phone.

I am applying for jobs in UK and need a UK mobile!

No, they cannot tell from the mobile number what part of the UK it is
