Texting Ireland

[Pound Shilling & Pig]

Hi, sorry I haven't been around for a long time but I hope someone can help.
It is really important I contact someone in Ireland who has a uk mobile, so a number that is 07XXX XXXXXX I have tried prefixing with 353 and eliminating the 0 and the 07 but I just get failed messages
Really hoping @Lorcan might be able to help

Not directly, but I can probably find out what exactly you need to type teach a UK number there? We do have Irish members (who live there still) but they're not here all the time.

Might take a bit to get the info though.

Apparently you just text the number as normal.

Thanks @Lorcan that's what I did in the beginning but it didn't work. I will try again later x

So long as the number is registered in the UK (ie, one of our numbers) then it should just swap over. My dad was saying that's how the family usually does it.

It might be a hiccup on their end, because it can cost money to receive a text or phonecall outside the UK. Might be worth checking they have everything they need switched on at their end (which if you can't text is yeah, it's a problem).
