1800 cost questions
What does an 1800 number cost in Ireland?
That is set by Irish providers under Irish arrangements, and only their published rates answer it. For numbers issued in Ireland, check the Irish provider's rate card or your Irish plan's terms.
What does an Australian 1800 number cost?
Plans run from $10 to $99 a month, plus per-second call charges the business funds — because callers pay nothing from Australian fixed lines. Current tiers are on the pricing page.
Are the Irish and Australian 1800 systems related?
Only by coincidence of prefix. Each is a national toll-free system with its own carriers, pricing and rules — an Irish 1800 and an Australian 1800 are different products from different networks.
I serve both markets — what do I publish?
An 1800 number for Australian customers and an Irish freephone number from an Irish provider for Irish customers, each labelled with its country, plus a +61 geographic line for other overseas callers.
What does an 1800 number cost in Ireland? We will not quote it, and any Australian site that does is guessing: Irish 1800 numbers are products of Irish providers, priced under Irish rate cards that only those providers publish. What we can publish — because it is our market — is the Australian 1800 cost, and the contrast between the two systems is the useful part of this page.
The Irish side, briefly
Numbers issued in Ireland with the 1800 prefix are Irish freephone lines: callers in Ireland dial at no charge, and the Irish business carries the cost under its Irish service agreement. The per-month and per-minute figures live in the Irish provider's published rates and the account holder's plan terms. If you need an Irish freephone number, an Irish provider issues it — the same logic that stops us issuing Irish numbers applies everywhere.
The Australian side, published

Australian callers pay nothing from fixed lines — the toll-free deal — and the business funds every call per second beyond the inclusions. All prices exclude GST; current call rates are on the pricing page, and the bill model is worked through in 1800 number cost.
Why the two systems do not mix
The shared 1800 prefix is coincidence: each country's toll-free range is national, published for domestic dialling only. An Irish 1800 will not connect from Australia, an Australian 1800 will not connect from Ireland, and neither country's pricing applies to the other. The context is in 1800 number Ireland and are 1800 numbers free in Ireland.
