doesn't it depend on where you call it from...i.e. mobile prepay, mobile post pay, landline etc?

Yes - 1800 are free for the caller.

All 1800 numbers are mapped onto a nominated landline number by Eircom. The receiver picks up the tab which varies depending on the location & phone type used. In effect a 1800 number makes a reverse charge call. You may find some companies block calls from mobiles on 1800 numbers due to the high costs involved.
