How much do 0818 phone numbers cost in Ireland?

What does it cost to call an 0818 telephone number as a caller?

0818 telephone numbers can be called at fixed telephone rates, i.e. the local rate. So there is no difference in calling costs between an 0818 number and local fixed telephone numbers.

What does it cost for the number holder?

An own 0818 number costs €45 per month at Belfabriek. The call charges are included. A fair use policy applies.

What do we mean by 'fair use'?

Most clients who use an 0818 number do not incur call charges. To determine what is fair use, we divide the total incoming call traffic that we process by the number of customers. This monthly average is our standard. If you stay below this average, call traffic is free. Even if you are one or a few months above, there is no problem. If it happens (much) more often, we will contact you by phone to see what is reasonable.

How does this work out in practice?

If you handle an average of up to 20 calls per day, that's included. It doesn't matter whether you have callers on your landline or your mobile number. As long as it is a Dutch telephone number. Organisations that process customer contacts with 1-4 people almost always fall under the fair use policy. But beware; if you decide to advertise on a large scale, for example on radio or TV, the call traffic can increase significantly. In that case, we kindly ask you to contact us. Are you a large organisation applying for a number and do you expect a lot of call traffic? Please also consult us. Thank you!
