Getting your phone unlocked, to work on any network, before you travel gives you the option of buying a SIM card in Ireland. Check out the prices and do the sums, but for most UK and EU travellers their existing phone/SIM will be the best option.

Don’t forget mobile charger and plug adaptor if you need it – all of Ireland has UK-style three-pin plug sockets.

Payphones

Phone boxes have almost completely disappeared from Ireland but If you happen to pass one, calls cost €2 minimum.

Internet

3G mobile data services are assured in most towns. In some rural areas coverage is patchy. 4G networks are being rolled out. WiFi hotspots are easy to find in major centres with cafés, restaurants and transport hubs often having free access. Most tourist accommodation will also have free or cheap WiFi access. Internet cafés have almost completely disappeared so take some sort of device – a laptop, mobile or tablet – with you if you want to be sure you can connect to make, for example, travel bookings.
