    Just to put your mind at ease.

    I moved over to the network today. Im 28 and def not a student.

    They don't ask ID and are extremely helpful in customer service through e-mails. Its a win-win. My only concern is when they remove the internet offer. Interesting to see what happens and how expensive/cheap it will be. But i'm not a big data user, even though i have an iphone.

    Do It!!

    This ^^^

    Is there a catch ? I already spend 20 Euro per month already with Vodafone for far less than the optimistic interpretation of this offer. The only thing I might miss would be free international sms via the website.

    you pay your 10 euro membership and you get free calls and texts for a month. that's all. No extra credit required.

    If you want to use data on your phone it will cost you more.

    You can also pay subscription on shops that have Payzone machines.

    Fairly sure you buy a voucher, and then you have to either ring 1740 or pay your membership online. It doesn't automatically pay your membership when you buy a voucher in a shop.

    I get a call today from Vodafone.
    SHE: Hi Ger, I am calling from Vodafone - you were a customer of ours.
    ME: Yes, but that was many months ago.
    SHE: I am calling to tell you about new offers that would make you return
    ME: OK, I am interested
    SHE: Which network are you with now?
    ME: 48
    SHE: No, I mean which network operator?
    ME: 48
    SHE: Are you with O2, 3, Meteor?
    ME: No, 48.
    SHE: I don't know that mobile network. Is that a name?
    ME: Yes, 48 is the name - it's been around a while now.
    SHE: Is it billpay?
    ME: No, pay as you go.
    SHE: I never heard of it - how much do you pay?
    ME: €10 per month
    SHE: How many minutes?
    ME: Effectively unlimited - to any network.
    SHE: Landlines?
    ME: 20 minutes.
    SHE: I didn't know about that.
    ME: You should! It's a great deal. Isn't it?
    SHE: Yes!!! I must learn about that.
    ME: Have a nice day.

    My question is; if the €10 is a membership fee - does that mean you don't have €10 credit? I'm worried I'd need to ring an 1850 number or something. How would I pay for that??

    Just ordered my sim a few days ago. Can't wait to run away from Meteor.

    It's a membership fee - but included in this membership is the 3000 any network minutes and 5000 texts. But, unlike most topups, you don't get the "included minutes" and ALSO have €10 credit available to do other stuff with.

    So pay the €10 membership and have the included calls and texts, no extra topup required.

    I unlocked my phone for the big move to 48 two days ago, got a text today off Vodafone offering me free Internet for 3 months , Id say they will do anything to try keep customers. Gotta love a bit of competition!

    I'm probably being stupid here but does this mean that your 10 euro membership fee pays for your allotted minutes and texts and that it also gives you 10 euro credit to spend on other services?

    No! I maybe phrased it badly. You are paying for membership which includes minutes and texts. When you've paid for membership your balance is then zero but you can make calls and texts. To do anything else requires purchase of more credit.

    what happens if you are roaming ? Can you receive texts/calls while abroad (say in the EU) for free ? And if the 10 euro is used up in membership fees I presume you have to add more cash to make calls and send sms abroad ?

    10 euro just pays for the membership which gives you calls, texts and 20 mins to landline.

    If you want to do more, like call an 1800 number or roam then you need to top up again
