Dial a Landline Number from a Mobile in Ireland

VARK ASKED ME, "How do you dial a landline number from a mobile phone in Ireland?" I get all sort of questions about Ireland from Vark nowadays but I used to get a lot more from 43 Places back in its heyday. I tell friends that their cell phones know they're in Ireland so if they want to dial a local number (i.e., a restaurant for a reservation), all they have to do is dial the number on the advertisement. Then I remember that many ads fail to include the city dialing code (01 for Dublin, 056 for Kilkenny) so you should consider firing up Google Maps on your cell to see the exact phone number. But remember, those overseas data packets could cost you a dollar a megabyte. Zooming down to a townland with a Google map might dump 50 MB of data onto your cell phone. It would pay to know the whole phone number of a venue, including its city phone codes.
