    Actually, having just looked, the Desire X for €30 on that package seems pretty reasonable.

    I guess but I don't want to pay €25.41(to get 1gb and meteor to meteor) for 12 months on an 18 month contract only have to pay €30.50 for the other 8 months.

    It would cost €131.69 more the €20.33 price on a Sim Only Plan so it would be better to buy a phone worth €131.69 really or throw a bit more at it. I think it's probably a good idea to price around for a Sim Free phone instead.

    Just on that, buying a new Sim-Free one from amazon.de (cheapest after a quick search) would be 270. Add 18 months of 20.33 and you come to 635.94.

    Buying it through Meteor, the phone is free and 12 months of 25.41 and 6, not 8, months of 30.50 comes to 481.92.

    Total savings of 148.02. Paying a slightly higher bill in the long run will always save you a bit of cash unless you can find the phone for dirt cheap. :)

    I'm on the same plan, not sure exact wording but got a text before the summer that free meteor to meteor was extended as long as I was on that plan, did anyone else get that txt?
    Yeah, I got that too, on the 26th of July, having been on the plan since late March.

    The text read "BEST NEWS EVER! Your price plan now includes FREE Meteor to Meteor Talk and Text for life! And you don't even need to do anything, it's now included automatically. To opt out freetext UNSUB to 50010."

    Looks like the tarriff is to increase to 30.50 after the year is up.

    It would be business suicide to bump everyone up to €30 for this plan.

    The plan must have netted them thousands of new customers who would otherwise have never considered Meteor. Since this plan was put in, there are loads of other offers from other providers that while still don't come close to €15 a month, would definitely beat the €30 a month.

    But the same deal is currently on their website for €20.33. Surely they should revert to that plan? Perhaps we should switch now before the €20.33 deal ends.

    This deal is for 15.25 per month. Meteor calls and texts were always included. It's 5 per month cheaper than the current offer

    Yeah that is my point.... that surely the deal I am on since January (the €15.25 one) should be replaced by the €20.33 instead of automatically going to €30.50.

    I get what you're saying and I agree with you. You'd think so but their reckoning and their computers reckoning is that the €15.25 IS the €30.50 one but with a 50% promotional discount so the system won't give a rats therefore unless you tell them you want to change they(operators) won't give a rats either. I'm gonna ask them later, on the chat thing, what the story is and by what date should I need to change. Mine is due to expire on the 16th December.

    Disagree. We need someone who joined this plan early to confirm if/when they get billed the full €30 amount.

    I'm not waiting for that to happen. I'm going to change the contract before that happens.

    Here is the transcript(some of it) of the chat with some things omittied for the normal reasons.
    Meteor wrote:
    Mags: Your next bill was issued on the 5th November and it is for €15.25.
    ME: Okay, I mean what will my bill amount to in January after the 12 months expire?
    Mags: XX, you are on 30 days contract, not 12 months contract. Your contract renews itself each month and you can change it at any stage to a different one.
    ME: So in January I will continue to receive 200 minutes, 200 texts and 1gb of data? I'm asking this question so that IF in January I get bumped onto a €30.50 bill then I can show somebody the transcript of this interaction between us.
    Mags: All right, you are asking me about the discount you have- I understand it now. That discount will be gone on the 16th December.
    Mags: The discount had been added on the 16th December 2011.
    ME: So, again, what will my bill be on in January?
    Mags: Your bill in January will be 30 euro per month.
    ME: So I need to cancel my contract today and rejoin for 15.25 per month basically.
    Mags: To cancel the contract you would need to call our customer care on 1905 and speak to cancellations department, as they need to speak to you as the account holder.
    Mags: Cancellations are open 9.00-17.30 Monday to Friday.
    ME: Okay then. On Meteor.ie it says Bill Pay Sim from €15.25 per month but when I click on it the cheapest one is 20.33 per month. How so?
    Mags: I have checked it for you and it looks like, that your plan, which you have now, is not available anymore.
    ME: It's on the Meteor homepage though saying it is available.
    Mags: It might be available in our stores still, but not online. That might be the case.
    ME: No, it says "Get your Free Sim Now" and also on another page says "plans from 15.25 View Sim Only Plans(click)". It's online obviously. Check your own website. Go to Meteor.ie and click on Plans and on Bill Pay.
    Mags: Yes, I did check it- when you click on that, it does not show the plan. I will report that error on the website to our online team. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

    It will depend on each user, how many calls, text and data you need.

    Meteor other 30 days plan are ok.

    Three.ie €20 top-up as ready to go is good, all you can eat data. unlimited txt to all networks, included call to three users, no calls included during the week but free at weekend.

    48.ie €20 all calls, text and a few gigs of data.

    My wife had the €20 offer until this month, when the price reverted to €30 a month. She called today to cancel and was offered the €15 deal. It's still there, at least for existing customers.

    remember when this offer came into effect they refused to give me the 15 offer as it was for "new customers only" was happy enough to get the 20 deal if my bill goes back up to 30 ill give them a months notice and move to 3. dont use any of what i get so no need to stick with them

    I have been in PM's with the "Talk to Meteor" section of boards.ie and I can confirm they have facilitated something for me and my partner on the 15.25 a month tariff. I cannot divulge the PM, such is a PM, but they will "work with you" on the tariff you are on.

    I'd start there. I messaged "Colm".

    I've just left 'em for 48. It's a no-brainer unless you need data roaming, which I don't.

    For those who want to stay with Meteor, first give them your 30 days' notice in writing, wait a couple of days and then ring up and ask to be put through to the cancellations department. Ask them to confirm that they've received your written notice, then ask them if they're prepared to extend your deal — this will mean a new 12-month contract, though.

    The T&C are the only thing that is legally enforceable; don't pay any attention whatever to what their "customer care" apes tell you, verbally or in online chat.
    On expiry of the Term [i.e. your billpay contract], either party may terminate this Agreement on the giving of 30 days written notice and, in the absence of such notice this Agreement shall be deemed to continue on from month to month based on the Terms and Conditions herein.

    Thanks for the headsup. It made me check my account and it had lapsed for one of my accounts. I rang 1905 and brought this up with the CCR and without any sort of argument she reapplied it and gave me €15 credit because the direct debit had already taken the extra amount.

    Did you get the €15 discount re-applied? I rang them today and they would only give me €10 off, even went as far as the retention department (who are fairly on the ball with other companies plans etc also had average usage stats etc)

    My bill came by text as 20.33. I don't have the actual bill as its at home. I have a €10 and €5 discount. I presumed I lost the €5 discount after 12 months and rang them up. She said she'd reimburse me the €5 I'd lost and reapply the €5 discount. She was the first person I got on to. I presume I now have the 200 texts minutes and 1gb data
