Activating your service
Your Ireland mobile number is printed on the small booklet that is attched to your SIM card and begins 086.
To activate your service:
- Travel to Ireland.
- Be sure that the battery is adequately charged.
- Insert the SIM card into your GSM phone*.
- Turn your phone on.
- Enter the PIN code when prompted^

* You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the SIM card into your international mobile phone with the gold contacts of the SIM card facing the metal contacts of your mobile phone.
^Your mobile phone will prompt you for a 4 digit PIN code, which can be found on the card affixed to your prepaid SIM card in your Ireland SIM packaging.

Follow your mobile phone manual instructions to correctly use the PUK to unblock your cellular phone if this occurs.
Making and receiving calls
How to make a call
To make an international call from your Ireland mobile phone dial 00 (or +), followed by the country code (1 for the US), area code and phone number.
How family and friends call you
Family and friends need to dial the international prefix, the country code 353 and your mobile phone number, omitting the first 0 (zero).
For example, when calling from the United States, callers need to dial 011 353 and then your mobile phone number.
Recharging your account
Your SIM card will include an initial airtime credit of 2 EUR.
To add credit to your Ireland SIM card, you will need to purchase recharge vouchers, also called Top Up cards.

Do not purchase another Ireland SIM card when your credit is depleted! You only need a recharge voucher!
