Other resources
- Telephone calls from the US to Ireland: dial 011 + 353 (Ireland) + the city code + number
- Telephone calls from the US to Northern Ireland: dial 011 + 44 (UK) + the city code + number
- This interactive area decoder is also handy for getting the city code and country code of most cities and towns (good for finding codes of small towns)
- It is much less expensive to call from the US to Europe than vice versa.
- Tip: For special operator assistance (collect or person-to-person calls, time and charges, or AT&T card calls), dial 01 instead of 011 when making a telephone call.
