Lookup Irish phone number allocations here.

Put 01 in STD / Access Code field and 4502655 in Specific Number field.

The BSH number is therefore definately a geographical Dublin number. I've just tried it and it is 1p/min with 1899. To write such a number in the form 01450 2655 (with a space after 01450) is incorrect and I think that it is leading to some confusion.

As an example, take a London number. The code for London is 020 with an eight-digit local number. Thus, numbers should be written 020 71234567. Now write the number as 02071 234567. The number is still the same (as a whole), but to identify the STD code isn't made easy by the space being in the wrong place.

The same applies with this example. The code for Dublin is 01 with a seven-digit local number. This is proven by the lookup of that number, above.

But it's not a UK number. 

Dublin is in Ireland - hence the international code for Ireland followed by the Dublin number without its leading zero (because you'll be dialling from abroad) being quoted.

Yes but my original Q was what is the cost of the call, it has now gone all round the houses to eventually find out it is N ireland,(S Ireland has different charges) I now know that by using 1899 it is going to cost 0p per minute, I foound that out by dialing the Inter No. via Voice cheap, as in my post #16

A Northern Ireland number is a UK one. There is now one code for NI, 028 with eight-digit local numbers. I don't remember you quoting or saying that it is a NI number. I'm totally confused because I thought that you were confusing Republic of Ireland numbers with the UK numbering system. Now, are you saying that you wish to dial an 028 (+4428) number?

The number I wanted the cost of,was in my first post,(quoted above) also the mention of Ireland,there should have been no confusion, if I dial 0035314502113, it goes through to Microsoft,if 353 is the code Inter code for Ireland, how come I did not dial an 028 number as suggested in the following quote.

Amongst other things that helped with the confusion, eg misplaced space in STD (Guilty me), you did say in an earlier post
"Yes but my original Q was what is the cost of the call, it has now gone all round the houses to eventually find out it is N ireland,(S Ireland has different charges)"
As everybody eventually worked out, 00 353 is Southern Ireland,  1 is the Dublin area code. Microsoft is based in Dublin.

I think you were the first to put Northern Ireland on this page

Although dialling an Irish geographical number would cost 3p connection and 1p/minute using 1899 from a BT residential landline, the Irish code (0)1450 is a non-geographical number (AFAIAA, equivalent to the UK's 0845 being [supposedly] 'local rate').

OK, apologies for any previous confusion,allow me to ask again in,hopefully a more coherant manner.

I (might) need to phone microsoft, on 08706010100, the geo number in the database is,+353 14502113, this implies that they are based in S Ireland and will not be free using 1899, as the call is answered in less than 1 ring using Voipcheap, it is impossible to get the auto tarrif message for the call cost using 1899.

From my first post, original Q, still not answered,



Whilst the call (00353 14502113) is free using Voipcheap,(and I have no credit on this acc,so am limited to 1 min calls),am I right in saying that it will not be free on 1899? if so the original Q (above in red)  is still relevant, or to put it another way, what would be the price per minute to call Microsoft in Ireland using 1899? bearing in mind they have an 0870 number which will cost me,(Mon-Fri daytime with BT) 7.5p per minute,4p per minute using 18185, as this is an English number how come the database "geo" number is international?
If no one has the answer, so be it at least Itried.

Dave, yes I know about the 01/02 numbers as it is quite obvious, but if some one has a difinitive answer,I would be gratefull.
