📍 Geographic Location of Scariff
Geographic Overview
The +353 619 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Scariff and its surrounding areas in County Clare, located in the west of Ireland. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by ComReg under the ITU-T E.164 standard. The region is known for its scenic landscapes along the River Shannon and serves as a local administrative and commercial hub for nearby villages such as Tuamgraney, Mountshannon, and Bodyke.
Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Scariff from within Ireland, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The local number length is seven digits, with the area code being three digits (619) and the subscriber number comprising four digits. The complete national format is (0619) XXX XXX.
For international callers, the country code for Ireland is +353, and the leading zero of the national prefix is omitted. Therefore, the international dialing format becomes +353 61 9 XXX XXX (note that the area code is split as 61 and 9 due to the original geographic allocation). For example, a local number such as 123 4567 would be dialed as 0619 123 4567 domestically and +353 61 9 123 4567 from abroad.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers within the Scariff exchange area may be able to dial the seven-digit subscriber number without the area code, depending on the specific network configuration. However, it is always safe to include the full national number.
- Callers from other parts of Ireland must dial 0619 followed by the subscriber number.
- International callers should replace the leading zero with the +353 country code and omit any spaces or dashes when dialing from a mobile device.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ComReg updates, there are no overlay codes for the 619 area, meaning that the geographic area is exclusively served by this code. Subscribers are assigned numbers from the range 0619 000 000 to 0619 999 999, though not all blocks are in active use. Number portability allows users to retain their geographic number when switching providers, but the number remains associated with the Scariff geographic region.
For businesses and residents, it is important to note that calls to this area from mobile phones are typically charged at standard national rates, while calls from fixed lines may vary depending on the operator's tariff. Emergency services (112/999) are always free and accessible regardless of the number.
