Why won't my 48 SIM card let me phone a Northern Ireland no?

You need cash credit to pay for international calls.
Or if it's a landline disk using the 048 prefix for calling NI numbers as national numbers from the Republic instead of using the normal UK 00 44 prefixes. In that case your membership or landline calls add-on allowance should cover it.

Hope this helps.
I am not a 48 employee - if you need to contact 48 support you can do so by chat, email (support@48months.zendesk.com) or phone.

OK glad that worked.
Just to clarify NI landlines called using the UK 00 44 prefix are international calls and charged from your cash credit balance.
But when called using the 048 prefix they're Irish national calls and covered by membership or add-on landline allowance balances.
