O2 Ireland is to introduce a new roaming service called All Ireland to its business and consumer customers.
The new service is aimed at reducing the costs for people making and receiving calls on their mobile phones to numbers within Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
It will be available as part of O2's Choices price plans for consumer customers and through individual price plans for the business customers of O2 Ireland.
O2 estimates that the savings on mobile phone costs to Irish customers could be up to 70%.
