THE REVENUE COMMISSIONERS has ended its LoCall 1890 service in an effort to reduce the costs of users who primarily use mobile phones.

1890 numbers are treated as a low-cost service, but only when phoned from landlines.

The move is designed to ensure that all calls made will form part of a user’s own mobile bundle.

The new national contact number for Revenue services is (01) 7383636.

The full list of new numbers is as follows:

    Start term pain for long term gain. Mad to think Sony is an insurance company in Japan.

    They really got their act together in the smartphone business. Their high end phones are brilliant.
