Vodafone Ireland
Vodafone Ireland Limited, part of the Vodafone Group, is the largest mobile phone company in Ireland in terms of active subscribers, and was previously called Eircell. The mobile phone system in use is a digital GSM 900 system, and also a third-generation UMTS system (the first such 3G system in the Republic of Ireland; see communications in Ireland). The company offers email in addition to mobile phone products and services. The company's "pay as you go" mobile phone product was previously called Ready to Go, previously advertised by Republica's song of the same name. It is now called Prepay
087 is the usual area code for mobile phone numbers serviced by Vodafone. However, following introduction of full number portability by the Commission for Communications Regulation, some subscribers may have 083, 085, 086 or 089 prefixes instead.
As Eircell, the company sponsored the Irish version of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? quiz show while it ran on RTÉ television.

Famous quotes containing the word ireland:
“Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
All that was said in Ireland is a lie
Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
