Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to drop the leading '0' when calling Ireland?
Yes. When calling an Irish landline or mobile number from Australia, you must drop the leading '0' from the area code or mobile number before dialing.
What is the cheapest way to call Ireland from Australia?
Using a prepaid phone card or a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service like the ones offered by Phone Card Choice is typically the most affordable way. These services offer much lower rates than direct dialing through major mobile or landline carriers.
Can I call an Irish toll-free number from Australia?
Generally, no. Irish toll-free numbers (usually starting with 1800) are typically not reachable from outside the country. You will need to find a standard local number for the company you wish to contact.
Do I need to dial the exit code (0011) if I use a phone card app?
It depends on the service. Many modern VoIP apps and services handle the exit code automatically. You can often start dialing with the country code (+353). However, if you are dialing from a landline using a calling card access number, you will likely still need to dial the full sequence.
