From the research that I’ve done over the past couple of weeks, it seems like it’s not possible to call 1890, 1850 and 0818 numbers from Skype.
At different times during the day, and using several different companies’ numbers, I got a couple of different responses to
Bank Of Ireland 1890 365 365 - Extension 33653 doesn’t answer. Your message cannot be delivered because that mailbox is full. Please dial another extension number. Goodbye.
Financial Regulator 1890 77 77 77 - Gets through to some random ladies home number after ringing out for a while.
Bord Gais 1850 632 632 - Comes back with “Invalid phone number”
NTL (Service) 1800 321 321 - Also comes back with “Invalid phone number”
So, if you have Skype and you need to call any of these 1890, 1850 or 0818 phone numbers, you will need to use the geographical alternatives provide here on www.SayNoTo1890.com.

One response to "How to ring 1890, 1850 and 0818 numbers from Skype?"
0818 numbers are fully supported from outside the country (and, hence, work fine in Skype), unless the owner has specifically blocked international calls. That is unusual since it costs them nothing to receive calls.
