    Yes you can move to this plan, all you need to do is switch from your current plan to PAYG and then sign up to this offer by sending the text. Just be aware that this plan is similar to your current plan but not identical, currently there is no roaming on this plan and also voicemail is not free either.

    I can't see any way of switching online ,shop only ?

    I have looked at the few differences and happy to change ,never use voicemail and won't the roaming be changed in a few weeks so shouldn't matter?

    You need to ring 171 the first time to set up voicemail, after that 08x 5xxxxxxx (5 between prefix and number) followed by # when it connects will get you in for free. I changed my default speed dial to that instead of 171. It is a pity that they don't support visual voicemail.

    I was wondering would that work ok, that way you're technically just ringing another mobile number.

    Was an existing meteor customer on the 30 euro prepay all texts, calls and 15gb data.

    Texted a few weeks back to switch to the 20 euro a month for same deal, first time to top up on the new deal was this morning , 20 euro top up , and new deal activated.

    20 euro every 28 days for calls texts and 15gn of data is hard to be beaten.. well pleased .

    Does anyone know if it's an automatic roll-over of top-up from your credit card every month or do you have to manually top-up each 28 days?

    The Simplicity plans are not topup offers.

    They charge your account that much every 28 days. If you have enough credit then it deducts €20 from your credit and gives you another 28 days :cool:

    I've now added my CC details to auto top-up every month. Also, my Pre-Pay Meteor Simplicity plan is for 30 days.

    What happens if you topup on day7. Does it just add 20 to credit and nothing else until day 1 again and take the 20 or does it take the 20 straight away and the clock on the 30/28 days start again

    The €20 is credited to your account but isn't deducted from the account until the end of the 30/28 day period.

    How is the auto top-up direct supposed to work when it's done on a monthly basis?

    They'll obviously add the option to set auto topup every 28 days when that kicks in.

    They haven't. You just need to top up when you get the warning text.

    Brilliant offer. I switched today. Very impressed. Took under an hour to port my number over. Did a speed test and getting 50+ download speed. Cant beat it. One question, whats the deal going to be for roaming? I was on the chat section of the website. The assistant told me it will be roam like at home from June 8th. Does that mean I wont have to pay when I go to Portugal in July? Im confused.

    Just to add, meteor have confirmed on the forum that those of us on the €30 for €20 offer get the higher 6.3gb data limit when roaming, as opposed to the 4gb limit for normal €20 top ups.

    brilliant news, thats a lot of data abroad when we're used to nothing. Especially as thats probably for 1-2 weeks for most people.
    Can u still tether when roaming?

    They don't have any tethering restrictions at home iirc so I hope that would carry over.

    Is the 30 for 20 offer not 15gb data so why would you only get 6.3??

    Also just to note ive given false info forum before so might want to see it on website.

    If its accurate ill prob switch over to it

    6.3 is what you can use roaming.
    15 overall allowance.

    The EU regulations were for a minimum amount and also allow a data cap, both are based on what the wholesale amount of data that the monthly plan cost would buy. Calls and texts are used as at home but they aren't breaking the regulations by having a proportion of the data.
