The number
Drop the 0
Drop the leading 0 and dial the rest after +353. Dublin's 01 becomes +353 1, a mobile written 087 becomes +353 87, and a regional code like 021 for Cork becomes +353 21. Irish 1800 numbers are freephone and do not connect from abroad, and the old 1850 and 1890 lo-call numbers were switched off in 2022, so if a website still lists one, look for the geographic number beside it.

02When
When to call
Ireland is 5 hours ahead of US Eastern time for most of the year, and 4 or 6 for the two or three weeks each spring and autumn when Ireland and the US change their clocks on different Sundays. Irish offices close at 5, which is noon in New York, so mornings are the window.
The oldest diaspora corridor there is: family, a solicitor, a bank, the Passport Office, Revenue, or a GP surgery. Nearly all of it answers on a landline during Irish office hours.

05Questions
Common questions
How do I call Ireland from the US?
Dial 011, then 353, then the Ireland number. Drop the leading 0 and dial the rest after +353. Dublin's 01 becomes +353 1, a mobile written 087 becomes +353 87, and a regional code like 021 for Cork becomes +353 21. Irish 1800 numbers are freephone and do not connect from abroad, and the old 1850 and 1890 lo-call numbers were switched off in 2022, so if a website still lists one, look for the geographic number beside it. From a browser on Airlophone there is no exit code at all: you type the number starting +353 and the price for that exact number appears before it dials.
What is the country code for Ireland?
+353. From the US you dial 011 first to leave the country, so the full string begins 011 353. From the UK and most of Europe the exit code is 00 instead, and from Australia it is 0011.
How much does it cost to call Ireland?
Basic calls to Ireland start at $0.09/min for landline. From a US caller ID: landline $0.09/min, mobile $0.29/min, service line from $0.79/min. Professional adds $0.02/min to paid calls, whether recording is on or off. Connected calls are billed per minute, with part of a minute counting as a full minute. Enter the number to see its exact price before calling.
Can I use my own number as caller ID?
Yes, if the number is eligible. Verify that you control it once, then select it as your Verified Caller ID when you call. Some networks cannot present a number you own on every route, and the dialer confirms that before the call starts.
What is the best time to call Ireland from the US?
Ireland is 5 hours ahead of US Eastern time for most of the year, and 4 or 6 for the two or three weeks each spring and autumn when Ireland and the US change their clocks on different Sundays. Irish offices close at 5, which is noon in New York, so mornings are the window.
Do I need an app or a SIM card?
No app or SIM is required. Use a browser with internet and a microphone. The recipient answers their ordinary landline or mobile and needs no internet connection.
