Check unknown Irish numbers with recent reports (Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick) and share your experience.
Unsure about an Irish number? Explore concise community reports to judge calls and texts. In Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick you’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 01 (Dublin), 021 (Cork), 091 (Galway), 061 (Limerick), 051 (Waterford) and mobile ranges (083/085/086/087/089) don’t reliably prove location/identity due to portability and VoIP — use them as context, not proof.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier filters (e.g., 0818 shared‑cost, 1800 toll‑free) for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
