    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

    Use a tin can and string, make sure you have a long enough line to reach England though, should work if not use smoke signals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭janet1989


    So its like this, is it? +353862222222

    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.

    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

    Yes, its a strange one finding the prime numbers, calculators on the net can do for you and you can enter in your number.

    Einstein theory I believe.

    Ok. So you've just found a roadside bomb, there's a red, a blue and a yellow wire. Which one do you cut?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Do you add + or 00 before the bomb?

    Why would you cut any of them? Get back in your car and get the fcuk out of there!!

    This is where the phone book, or telephone directory as I prefer to call it, comes into it's own. It contains a comprehensive listing of telephone prefixes, national and international, along with clear instructions on how to place telephone calls to numbers using those prefixes. Even for Inmarsat calls to ships at sea. And it's free.

    Don't be too lenient or familiar with the Operator.
    When making a trunk telephone communication transmission, adapt a Commanding Tone.
    State that you wish to speak to Mr. Higson in Dublin, Immediately, and that if you are not put through there will be consequences involving loss of employment and imprisonment.
