How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Ireland

Ireland uses country code +353, area codes for landlines, trunk prefix 0 domestically, and international prefix 00 for calls placed from Ireland.

From abroad → landlines: exit code → 353 → area code (drop the 0) → local number. Example (Dublin): +353 1 234 5678 (domestic 01).

From abroad → mobiles: exit code → 353 → mobile number without the leading 0 (e.g., +353 87… / +353 86… / +353 85…).

Inside Ireland: dial 0 + area code + number for landlines (e.g., 01/021/061/091…), and the 10-digit mobile number beginning with 0 (e.g., 087…).

From Ireland to other countries: 00 + country code + number (or dial with + on mobiles).

Mobiles vs landlines:

Mobiles use national destination codes 083, 085, 086, 087, 089. Because mobile number portability has operated since 2003, a prefix shows only the original allocation—don’t assume the current carrier.

Landlines use 2–3-digit area codes (after dropping the 0 from abroad).

What are the emergency numbers in Ireland

112 and 999 both reach police, fire, ambulance, coast guard (free from any phone). If unsure which to use, dial 112—it works EU-wide and in Ireland.

What are the city and area codes in Ireland
