    You would dial from Ireland to the US "001 (area code)+(number)".

    No problem, if they or anyone else would need to call you from the US, it would be "011+353 (drop the zero+number)".

    That's an Atlanta, GA number. I hope you speak Southern!

    Or 011+44 (rest of number minus the zero) if you're calling the north. :)

    have moved from ireland a few years back but is a local call in the middle of the day to a mobile now less then .5c a minute?
    now just looking at website telestunt charge 33c a minute to uk mobiles where 13434 is 5c
    and telestunt actually recommend 13434 so they're obviously all interconnected somehow, whichever suits best i suppose!

    Oh, wait, looked up 13434, but you have to subscribe to it. No thanks, I'll stick with Telestunt.

    He wants to call the US not the UK. Telestunt is much simpler than registering.
    13434 has impressive prices but having to register instead of just calling a number is too much hassle for me.
    With telestunt he can call any US landline or mobile for the same as the house next door.
