    Hi,

    Is there some way to make 1850 calls (from skype on my mobile) in wireless areas? I don't seem to be able to call 1850 numbers from skype?

    I'm just trying to reduce my phone bills so any helpful advice is appreciated. Comreg states that they're lowCall numbers but when I'm using them to call some of my utility providers and kept waiting for ages - they're far from low call numbers :confused:

    I don't think you can make calls to 1890 or 1850 via Skype or even from overseas as +353 1890 and +353 1850 would be the same as ringing Dublin numbers starting 01 890 and 01 850 which I believe exist.

    Balls! :( I expected that but was kinda hoping there was some workaround that I wasn't aware of. Is there anyway to confirm that (apart from the obvious testing which I've done)?

    will give you an non 1890 or 1850 number you can call instead.

    Also check the companies site for an international number +353xxxxx
