The history behind Irish phone numbers


  • Early days (late 1800s - early 1900s):
  • Telephone services were first introduced in Ireland in the late 19th century. Initially, the network was limited and rudimentary, with only a few thousand subscribers. Telephone numbers were simple and usually consisted of just a few digits.
  • Development of the national numbering plan (1920s - 1950s):
  • As the telephone network expanded, the need for a more structured numbering system became apparent. In the 1920s, the Irish government introduced a national numbering plan, which included area codes for different regions in the country. Phone numbers typically consisted of a 2 or 3-digit area code followed by a local number with up to 5 digits.
  • Introduction of the direct dialing system (1960s):
  • In the 1960s, Ireland introduced the direct dialing system, which allowed callers to dial long-distance numbers without operator assistance. This further standardized the numbering system and enabled more efficient long-distance communication.
  • Transition to the 7-digit numbering system (1980s):
  • As the number of telephone subscribers continued to grow, Ireland adopted a 7-digit numbering system in the 1980s. This change accommodated the increasing demand for phone numbers and allowed for greater flexibility in assigning new numbers.
  • Introduction of the Eircode system (2015):
  • In 2015, Ireland introduced Eircode, a postcode system designed to improve the accuracy of postal deliveries and help emergency services locate addresses more easily. Eircode does not directly affect phone numbers, but it is a significant development in Ireland's overall communication infrastructure.
