If you would like to contact family, friends or colleagues in Ireland via the US simply follow the steps below:
How to Call Ireland from the US
How to Call the Republic of Ireland from the US
To call any Irish phone number from the US, you’ll need to first enter the International Code which opens your phone to numbers beyond the national network. After that, simply enter the Irish Code followed by your chosen number and hit dial.
- Add International Code 011
- Add Ireland Code 353
- Enter Number
How to Call Dublin from the US
For many, phoning Ireland will largely mean phoning Dublin as it’s the most populated region on the island.
To do this, simply remember that the area code for Dublin is 1.
How to Call Northern Ireland from the US
To call any Northern Irish phone number from the US, you’ll need to follow the steps above but use the UK Code (which is 44 or sometimes +44 or 044) instead of the Irish code.
This is because Northern Ireland is legally part of the UK, despite there being no border between north and south in Ireland, and most technical and infrastructure related issues are handled by UK authorities.
Other than that, the steps are exactly the same.
- Add International Code 011
- Add UK Country Code 44
- Enter Number
How to Call Belfast from the US
Similarly to calling Dublin, calling Belfast entails following the above Northern Ireland steps and ensuring you use the Belfast area code which is 02895 or sometimes 2895.
Calling Ireland from America
With an estimated Irish diaspora of 32 million Americans, approximately 9.7% of the population, it’s no shock that phone calls crisscross the two nations on a daily basis. Add into that a new generation of Irish (albeit in much smaller numbers) living and working across the pond, calls between the two countries are only set to continue.
We hope this helps you make those calls to special people on the green side of the Atlantic Ocean!
