    How does someone call an Irish number from England. For example, lets use this fake number: 0833087234.
    Is it +353833087234??????????

    Also how does someone call a house number such as 091-558094?

    Are you trying to add many ????'s after the number?
    Is that why it's not working maybe?

    This is how you make up a number
    086-222-2222
    or 087 -000 -0000
    or better yet 086-yyy-yyyy

    Just for future reference

    Irish phone numbers are composed of 10 numbers, and are usually presented in this format: (0xx) xxx xxxx. The numbers correspond to the area code, as follows:

    01 – Dublin area - also extends to certain parts of Wicklow, Meath and Kildare
    021-029 – Most of County Cork; Cork City, Bantry, Bandon, Fermoy, etc.
    0402 – Arklow
    0404 – Wicklow
    041-047, 049 – North East Midlands and parts of Wicklow
    048 – Northern Ireland land line access (may also be dialled as an international call to the UK using 004428)
    051-059 – Midlands and South East
    060 – Currently unused
    061-069 – South West and Mid West Area
    071, 074 – North West Area
    0800 – Free calls
    090-099 – Midlands and Western Area
    Mobile prefixes usually start with 08 (e.g. 0822 for Vodafone or 086 for O2).

    International Calls
    To dial abroad from Irish phones, it is necessary to use the '00' prefix, followed by the country code. You should then remove the first 0 of the local phone number.

    The country code for Ireland is 353. To call Irish numbers from abroad, you should dial the area code without the first zero after the country code (so for example 00 353 402 xxx xxx. if you are calling someone who lives in Arklow).

    International calls from Ireland can be very expensive. For this reason, you might want to consider alternative international calling methods such as international calling cards or Voice over IP (VoIP) calls.

    Northern Ireland
    Calls to Northern Ireland can be made as international calls, using the format 00428, but this is very expensive.

    Instead, Northern Ireland can be reached by using the 048 prefix. If you use this prefix, you are only charged the cost of a national call. This works only for Northern Ireland, and the rest of the UK remains fixed at the international call rate.

    Important numbers
    Important numbers that should be known are the following:

    112 is the European number for emergencies. Dialling the old number 999 also works.


    Hope that helps.

    The French Foreign Legion have a recruitment office in the UK.

    Are you applying to the British Army?

    00353 but you also need to dial +353 with the number when there are prime numbers in the number e.g 7,5,3,1,11,13 . If any of these are in it or any of the numbers in your number equal a prime number then an addiotional +353 at the end of the number.

    e.g +35387+35386787833300353
