Hi,

Can someone please explain this from the 1899 site?      

ireland (landline)      1
ireland [national rate] (landline & mobile)      15

prices are pence per minute, but what is the difference between  (landline) and [national rate], besides the obvious 14p,  the number I am wanting to dial is, +353 14502113, and obviously there is a big difference between the 2 charges.

Thanks

Thanks, already thought of that, but it is no good perhapsing, because of the price difference, and I know that there is the price tarrif message, but if it is answered before the message kicks in, (and it does happen if the phone is answered immediately) then I will not know what it has cost until after the call and it could be a long one.

Yes it is, but it doesn't answer my question 

See this document for Irish numbering plan. 01 is the code for Dublin.

The international code for Ireland is 353, thus the STD code and local number is 01 4502113 which is Dublin.

Why would it? Charges for [geographical] numbers in Republic of Ireland should be all the same. Dublin is in the Irish Republic and not Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK numbering scheme with the code 028. The Republic is another country.

The UK Phone Info site is for UK telephone numbers. What you have done is looked up a UK prefix (if it existed), i.e. +44 3531452113 instead of +353 1452113. I have left a space to differentiate between the international codes and national numbers.

Section: Codes in Range 1000-1999 (Mainly Geographic, Convention B3)

Warning: Numbers starting 01450 21 are probably not valid.

Oftel records show that numbers starting 01450 21 are protected from allocation . Where numbering capacity has been withdrawn from service, the block or code is sterilised for a period, typically 2 years. Alternatively the Oftel Numbering Unit might protect capacity for a limited period, to avoid dialling errors into similar codes. Oftel's last recorded change for this number range was in February 2006.

A table of the code allocations for other numbers starting 01450 is available
