Roaming information update for travellers - closure of 2G and 3G services

An Post Mobile partners with carriers around the world to deliver services to you when travelling. To increase network capacity and improve quality, our Roaming Partners are decommissioning their 2G and/or 3G networks. These carriers have begun to move entirely to 4G networks and during this transition phase you will see closures of their 2G or 3G networks in the countries they operate in. For more information on how these closures could affect you please visit our Travelling Abroad information page

Notice: Travelling by SEA and AIR

Please note when you are travelling by SEA or AIR that roaming rates apply in International Airspace and International Waters and are not covered by EU Roaming Regulation.

When travelling by Sea or Air roaming rates are considerably higher than standard roaming rates where your connection is provided by Satellite. You will receive a text with the applicable charges when travelling by Sea or Air and your connection is via Satellite. To stop roaming when travelling by sea turn on Flight Mode on your device. To resume roaming switch Flight Mode off. 

How do I Access Voicemail Abroad?

In most countries you can dial 171 to hear your Voicemail, just as you do at home. However, if this does not work then dial your international mailbox number by dialling a 5 after the 87 prefix (e.g. + 353 87 5 123 4567).  When you hear your greeting press the * Key.

How do I Top Up while Abroad?

Best practise would be to Top Up your phone before you travel to ensure you have enough credit for calls and texts while travelling. If you do find yourself needing more credit you can use one of the following Top Up options:

Online Top Up: You can buy call credit and Add On’s using your Credit or Debit card online  Top Up Online Now

Direct Top Up: You can ask family or friends to apply a Direct Top Up to your account. This can be done through the Post Office and the credit is applied directly into your account.

How do I get in touch with An Post Mobile when I'm abroad?

When you are abroad, you can call An Post Mobile customer care on +353 17057700. Email: care@anpostmobile.ie
