A friend of mine lives in the UK and works for an Irish based company, she has a mobile phone contract with O2 in Ireland. You will need to find someone in the UK willing to take out a mobile phone contract in your name and unless you have a good buddy or family member living there it will be difficult. Another option is to try and get a 'pay as you go' UK mobile phone.
Buying a UK pay-as-you-go and using it down here may not work. It will have to have roaming switched on for starters and anyone ringing the phone will have to be told to prefix the number with +44 (a bit of a give-away that OP is not UK-based) and they will need to be told they will be paying roaming charges on calls connecting to that phone.
Hmm... Ok. Are you sure this is how it works?
Obviously if agents have to dial +44 before it then I'm rumbled.
Now that I think of it, I have a feeling that when I am on holidays abroad with friends, I think I do need to include 353 when ringing - although not when textung fir some reason ? Am I remembering this correctly or am I mistaken ?
Anyway around this?
Ok - thanks.
Just to clarify on the last point though, so you are sure it doesn't hive the repeated long beep that happens when you ring an irish phone that is overseas from Ireland but instead gives the same ringing tone that occurrs when you normally ring someone yes?
In which case, under what circumstances exactly does the long beep ringing tone occur ?
