Question 103: To ask the Taoiseach if his Department operates any number utilising the Lo-Call designation, 1890; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that use of this number can impose additional costs on mobile phone users; if he will ensure that where such numbers are advertised in the press, online or in literature that this additional cost is noted, and that a standard geographic phone number is also given; if this is not currently done, if he will ensure that this will be done; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department operates Lo-Call 1890 (non geographic) numbers, in addition to standard geographic numbers. A note to the effect that rates charged for the use of the 1890 (LoCall) numbers may vary among different service providers is included on my Department's website and telephone directory entries. My Department is taking steps to ensure that this note is included in all other applicable literature.
