How to find a phone number?

    I'm going to be moving house soon. I'm looking at properties at the moment and I seem to recollect there is a number you can ring to find out what the phone number was if a line was ever connected to the house previously?

    I need the info to find out how good the broadband is before deciding on where to move(looking at Ennis/Quin/Newmarket on Fergus in Co.Clare atm).
    Thanks in advance!


    Oh and I've had my current contract with Eircom for 3 years, how long do I need to give to close the line (unlikely it will be the same number) or to transfer (in case it can stay the same)? What number should I ring at eircom to do so?

    Hi djiffou

    If you want to DM the full address of the house you are moving to, I can check that for you. Or you can check if there is a socket at the new address plug in a phone handset to see if there is a dial tone - if so you can dial 199000 and it will call back the telephone number on the line.
