Our Irish Cell Phone

Hi everyone! With 120 hours til we're all together in Ireland, please make note of our Irish cell phone number: 0872187039. To dial our phone from the U.S., dial
011 353 872187039. (011 is the signal that this is an international call. 353 is the country code for Ireland. 872187039 is our phone number.)

This is a good number to leave with everyone at home in case they need to reach us. And there is no charge to RECEIVE calls on our cell phone. Calls to numbers in the Republic of Ireland will be charged at 19 - 45 cents per minute. Calls TO the U.S. will be charged at 1.02 Euro per minute. (To dial U.S., dial 001 then area code then number; the country code for the U.S. is 1. Kinda tells us which country made up the country code list, eh?)

We will pick up the phone on Thursday when we arrive at the Radisson Hotel in Galway. It comes with a 10 Euro call credit. I'm told additional credit can be purchased with a credit card or at shops and post offices in Ireland. It will come with a wall charger and a complicated list of instructions that someone younger than I can probably decipher more easily!

See you soon.
love, kathleen
