FAQ
Questions about Remindavo in Ireland
Does Remindavo work with Irish phone numbers?
Yes. Remindavo fully supports Irish phone numbers starting with +353. It works across all three major Irish mobile operators: Three Ireland (Hutchison), eir Mobile (formerly Eircom), and Vodafone Ireland. Irish MVNOs are also supported, including 48 (operated on Three Ireland's network), Tesco Mobile Ireland (Three network), GoMo (an eir sub-brand), Clear Mobile (Vodafone Ireland network), Lyca Mobile Ireland, and Virgin Media Mobile Ireland (Three network). Both Irish mobile numbers (+353 8x) and landline numbers starting with +353 are supported.
Is Remindavo compliant with Irish data protection law (GDPR / DPC)?
Yes. Ireland applies the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), supervised by the DPC (Data Protection Commission of Ireland). The DPC is one of Europe's most prominent GDPR enforcement authorities, as Ireland serves as the EU headquarters for Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and many other major technology companies. Remindavo collects only what is necessary to deliver the service — your calendar event times and phone number — and never sells or shares your personal data with third parties. You can request data deletion at any time at web.remindavo.com/delete-account.
What time zone does Remindavo use for Ireland?
Ireland uses GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0) in winter and Irish Summer Time (IST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. Ireland observes Daylight Saving Time following the EU schedule — clocks move forward one hour on the last Sunday of March and back one hour on the last Sunday of October. Remindavo reads event times directly from your Google Calendar or Outlook as absolute UTC timestamps and calls you at the correct Irish local time automatically. No manual time zone adjustments are needed for GMT/IST transitions.
Are Ireland and the UK always on the same time?
Yes. Ireland and the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) use the same time offset all year round: GMT (UTC+0) in winter and UTC+1 in summer (Ireland calls it Irish Summer Time / IST; the UK calls it British Summer Time / BST). Both countries observe Daylight Saving Time on the same dates, so there is never a time difference between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland. EU countries on CET/CEST (France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and most of continental Europe) are always 1 hour ahead of Ireland and the UK.
Does Remindavo handle the EU–Ireland time zone difference?
Yes. Ireland (GMT/IST) is always 1 hour behind most EU countries (CET/CEST). Both Ireland and the EU observe Daylight Saving Time on the same dates, so the 1-hour gap is maintained throughout the year. Remindavo reads event times as UTC from your calendar and calls your +353 number at the correct Irish local time automatically — whether the event was organized by a Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, or Brussels counterpart who books in CET, or a London colleague who books in GMT/BST.
Does Remindavo work for Irish professionals coordinating with US or Asia-Pacific partners?
Yes. Irish professionals in technology, pharmaceutical, financial services, and professional services frequently coordinate with counterparts in New York (EST/EDT, UTC-5/-4), San Francisco (PST/PDT, UTC-8/-7), Boston and Cambridge, Singapore (SGT, UTC+8), and Tokyo (JST, UTC+9). When those partners schedule meetings, your Google Calendar or Outlook stores the correct UTC time — and Remindavo calls your +353 number at the right GMT or IST local time automatically. No manual time zone calculations needed.
Does Remindavo work across Irish cities — Dublin, Cork, Galway?
Yes. Ireland uses a single time zone (GMT/IST) across all cities — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny, Drogheda, Sligo, and all other locations, including Northern Ireland (which follows UK time, identical to Irish time). There is no regional time zone variation in Ireland. Remindavo calls your +353 number at the correct local time regardless of which Irish city you are based in.
