Is an Irish number the best route, or is a neighbour better?

In hurling a point is scored by striking the sliotar over the crossbar. Every app here is a puck: Ireland against the best of UK, France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Portugal, and the likelier route sends the ball over the bar; when the two are within 10 points, the cheaper one does. Ireland scores 4 of 13. The neighbour that beats Ireland most often today is Netherlands, with 3 apps.

Why do Google and LinkedIn work better outside Ireland?

We can measure it, not explain it: for these apps few recent orders on Irish numbers got a code, or too few exist to measure, while the same apps deliver well in another country. Generations of Irish emigrants wrote letters home from abroad; here each app writes from the country where its code lands. Open a letter.

Is an Irish number cheap next to the rest of the world?

The harp is Ireland’s national emblem and sits on every Irish euro coin. Each string of this harp is one app, as long as its Irish price against the middle price of every country that sells it: a short string is cheaper than the world, a long one dearer. For 13 of 27 apps Ireland is at or below the middle; 6 sit in the cheapest quarter. The longest string by far is Truecaller: $5.60 on +353 against $0.41 in the middle of the world.

What can a rented Irish number not open?

At Drombeg in County Cork, a ring of standing stones has stood for some three thousand years. Six stones stand in this circle, one for each thing a one-code number cannot open, because it goes back to the pool after 20 minutes. Touch a stone to read its carving.

What it does open: a sign-up you finish in one sitting, on an app that sends one SMS code. Need the same number later? See permanent numbers.

How do you get an Irish number and receive the code?

Yes, a few. Our record counts every one-time order from 31 May 2024 to 11 October 2026: 3,463 codes in 46 countries, 4 of them on Irish numbers, joint No. 27 of 46.

What do Irish mobile numbers start with?

Written at home, Irish mobile numbers start with 08 and have ten digits, such as 087 123 4567. Written for an app, they are +353 followed by nine digits starting with 8. Dublin landlines start with 01, and 1800 numbers are freephone within Ireland. Since numbers can be moved between networks, the prefix does not reliably show whether a number is on Vodafone, Three or eir.

Do I need ID to get an Irish number on VSIM?

No. A VSIM number is rented for one code and is not a SIM card, so no document is asked for. You top up your VSIM balance with crypto from $1.

Can I use a virtual number for an Irish bank, Revolut or MyGovID?

No. Bank apps, Revolut and MyGovID are tied to your identity and your own phone, and they send codes every time you log in or pay, so they need a number that stays yours.

Which country near Ireland has the most apps that deliver?

Apps at 50% or more today: UK 35, US 23, Netherlands 18, Portugal 17, Spain 14, France 12. Ireland places No. 8 of 9. The currach regatta on this page compares each app country by country.

Can I keep an Irish number after the code?

No. A one-code number is yours for up to 20 minutes. If you need codes on the same number again, VSIM sells permanent numbers in the United States.
