📍 Geographic Location of Tyrellspass
Geographic Overview
The +353 448 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Tyrellspass exchange in County Westmeath, Ireland. Tyrellspass is a historic village situated in the Midlands of Ireland, approximately 10 km southeast of Mullingar, the county town of Westmeath. The code serves the local exchange area, which encompasses the village itself and the surrounding rural hinterland, including townlands such as Ballynacarrigy, Kilbeggan (partially), and Rochfortbridge (in some allocations). The area is served by the national fixed-line network operated primarily by Eir, along with other licensed fixed operators that provide services via local loop unbundling.
Dialing Formats
Within Ireland, calls to Tyrellspass numbers must be dialed using the national significant number (NSN), which is the area code followed by the subscriber number. The full national format is 0448 12345 (where 12345 represents a typical 5-digit local number). Note that the leading '0' is a trunk prefix and is not part of the international number. From abroad, callers must dial the international access prefix (00 or +), then the country code 353, followed by the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. Thus, a typical international format is +353 448 12345.
Geographic Coverage and Overlays
The 448 area code is a distinct geographic code within the Westmeath numbering area. It is not an overlay code; it is the sole code for the Tyrellspass exchange. However, due to number portability, a number with the 448 prefix may have been ported to a different geographic location or to a VoIP provider, but the number retains its geographic significance for routing and emergency services. The area code is part of the larger national numbering plan administered by ComReg, the Irish communications regulator.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Tyrellspass, it is possible to dial the subscriber number alone if the call is within the same local area, but in practice, most calls within Ireland now require the full NSN.

The cost of calls to this geographic number is typically included in landline calling plans or charged at standard national rates, depending on the caller's provider.
