What each type means for the caller

Toll-free: 01800
Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 10 digits after +353.
Premium rate: 01512–01518, 01520, 01530, 01540, 01550, 01560, 01570, 01580, 01590, 01598 or 01599
Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 10 digits after +353.
Shared cost: 01850 or 01890
The caller pays part of the cost and the owner pays the rest, so the price sits between a free and a normal call. 10 digits after +353.
Universal access (UAN): 0818
One national number for a business with several sites, routed to the nearest or chosen office. 9 digits after +353.
Personal number: 0700
A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 9 digits after +353.
VoIP: 076
Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 9 digits after +353.

Writing and dialling a Ireland toll-free number

Inside Ireland, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +353 in front: 1800 123 456 becomes +3531800123456. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Ireland, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.

Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list

In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Ireland phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

Common questions

Can I call a Ireland toll-free number from abroad?
Sometimes. Dial +353 and the number without the leading 0. Many freephone numbers only take calls from inside Ireland, and where they do connect from abroad the call is usually charged.

The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.

In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.

  • 5,000 live carrier lookups a month: real line type, including US numbers
  • Carrier name for every number looked up
  • Upload a CSV up to 100,000 rows; emails in the same file get a mailbox check
