Can you call Ireland for free?

WhatsApp is the most common way to call for free in Ireland. It only works if the person you are calling has the same app and a data connection, and it cannot reach a landline, a switchboard or a business that only answers its phone line.

WhatsApp, FaceTime

Free over Wi-Fi or mobile data, as long as both people have the app installed and are online.

Not for landlines or businesses

An app call can't reach a landline, an office switchboard or anyone who isn't on the app. Most businesses still answer on their phone line.

A real call, at a fair rate

For everything else, call the number. With Allo, Ireland landlines are from $0.03/min and mobiles from $0.05/min.

Calling Ireland: your questions

Ireland's country code is +353. From the US, dial 011 353 before the number. From a mobile anywhere, +353 does the same job.

From a US or Canadian landline, dial 011 (the exit code), 353 (the country code), then the number: 011 353 1 234 5678. From most other countries, the exit code is 00 instead of 011.

Press and hold 0 to type +, then 353 and the number: +353 1 234 5678. The + works from any country, so it's the safest way to save a Irish number in your contacts.

Irish mobiles start with 083, 085, 086, 087 or 089. A landline written 01 234 5678 at home is dialed 011 353 1 234 5678 from the US, or +353 1 234 5678 from a mobile.

A mobile written 087 123 4567 is dialed 011 353 87 123 4567 from a US landline, or +353 87 123 4567 from a mobile. Paste any number into the formatter to see which kind it is.
