Is this number, 00 (353) 1 4955... (for Dublin), covered by inclusive minutes or the likes of 1899 for calling from England? And do I dial it as set out in this post?

Thanks Heinz, I assume that means Dublin is in Southern Ireland,as if it was NI it would be 0ppm via 1899?

Last time I looked, Dublin was in Eire.
If you want to keep your Irish friends, I wouldn't ever refer to it as 'Southern Ireland'.

FYI Dublin is the capital of the Irish Republic.

OK a bit confused here, if Dublin is in NI, then should calls to it be in inclusive minutes and 0ppm if using the likes of 1899?

No confusion, you have already been told that Dublin is NOT in NI, it is in Eire which is a foreign country.

Same argument applies about Washington DC. Annoyingly, just like Dublin, Washington DC is not in NI either, and I have to pay to call it!!!

My question has been answered, however mentioning Washington DC has no bearing as it is obviously in the USA, a foreign country.

But Ireland is confusing, it is an island like Great Britain and by definition has North, East, West and South, there appears to be:- Ireland, Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland,Republic of Ireland, Eire?

Seems a bit silly having one country, (Ireland), then splitting it for, as example, phone number/charges, in the UK,(Great Britain), all phone numbers for England,Scotland, Wales and NI begin with 01/02/03
e.g London to Belfast,(NI), is 028 ,(code for London, 020).

There are plenty of people using the terms NI & SI, seems that SI is actually the Republic of Ireland, which is sometimes called Southern Island.

It isn't one country though! Which is what we are trying to help you with! (It's 2 countries on one island - UK & Republic of Ireland!)

And there are 3 countries in GB, (one island), but we don't differentiate on phone numbers.

Yes theres the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, but all funded from England.

As I said, I get it, Dublin is not in NI. That is all I wanted to know.
