Thread: Do I need an Irish number?

  1. #1

    Love Do I need an Irish number?

    Hi! I have a UK number and was told by a client that I won't get a lot of work since Irish clients don't want to pay to call foreign numbers and are suspicious of them.
    Is this true? I also have email, twitter, whatsapp, a website form and EI so plenty of ways to contact me

    Yes and no.

    With no roaming charges it won't make a difference, but some phones/contracts/companies for what ever reason don't allow international calls, my friend's phone is one of them.
    If you're working in the north then that's UK and you won't need a different number, getting a pay as you go phone and SIM can be super cheap and I would highly recommend you get one of those so not to worry about missing any calls, work is quiet enough at the moment with out missed calls.

    All the best

    Buy a cheap Tesco phone and then text British Kristie that her Twitter account is suspended.

    UK sim ok for you but some guys won't want to ring if its going to cost them and you won't be getting many calls from the Cavan men and if you do, check location as they may have reversed the charges they're cute hoors

    Hi Ophelia, If someone really wants to make an appointment with you by phone they are probably only be on the phone for a couple of minutes which shouldnt cost them the earth.If your planning on staying around for a while then maybe do what Mr. Jinxed suggested.

    You say work is quiet. Is that every girl you know. Did the guards scare the fuck of everyone.

    Unless they have an unlimited supply of man power I dont think they are frightening everyone.

    I wasn't being literal by saying everyone. About the massage parlors, I wonder to myself how are they making money because they are on the busiest of streets in the center of the city. There is no privacy whatsoever. It's practically impossible to not be seen going into one.

    Well you know all the hotspots and they are pretty compassionate with people like yourself so i think in the long run you will be fine.

    Not for me. I'm actually going to be in the mighty Cavan today. I haven't been in Cavan in a long time. I might put on a shitty pair of wellies and a fake Dublin accent and pay for everything in coppers, just so I blend in properly.
