Calling Northern Ireland numbers

For example, the Belfast Welcome Centre number is 028 90246609, so:

 from Northern Ireland or elsewhere in UK dial 028 90246609

 from the Republic of Ireland dial 048 90246609

 from overseas dial local international prefix +44 28 90246609.

Mobile phones

A mobile phone is the most convenient and often the cheapest way to stay in touch when in Ireland. In the Republic the major networks are Meteor, Three and Vodafone. Coverage is almost universal although there are a few blank spots on hill-bound coasts. Northern Ireland is covered by UK operators. If you are bringing a phone from overseas check it is compatible with Irish networks. Some US network phones, for example, will not work.

Mobile phone rates are now capped for EU travellers travelling within the EU but beware that if your home network is outside of Europe these EU-imposed limits for call and data charges may not apply.
