new emobile bill pay customers only - if i was one in the past but am now prepay would I be a new bill pay customer if I signed up again? Also, the offer says ''you and a friend'' so is this offer transferable between us all i.e. Anyone that has availed of it could invite someone else...

You'd have to ask them directly. I was screwed out of upgrade credit by O2 recently where they said (after the sale) that the offer was for new pre-pay customers and since i had a bill with them 8 years ago i wasn't a new customer.

00sully · 16-05-2012 2:22pm

so anyone here have a spare code they can pm me that they got when they signed up? is it even cool to ask for those codes on this thread?

ActingDanClark · 16-05-2012 2:28pm

Went into emobile tallaght but was told offer is restricted to 300.000 customers who received the flyer. As I'm not one of the select few...can anyone sort me? Ta!

Any eircom account will do even your companys one

I didn't get a flier but i qualify for the offer. Unless it's a different offer. You might still need an actual eircom account number with the flier, it says it's restricted to eircom customers only. (Unless, again, it's a different offer).

Mine just arrived - a beaut!
Unlocked to Meteor anyway too

Now to find a case and screen protector online - anyone?

I was refused a couple of days ago and I asked for a supervisor to look into it and I am still waiting to hear back, I rang and it still hasn't been looked into

Same network, so it could be locked. You'd have to try O2, VF or 3 sim.

What did you get? EDIT: A one X?

Tried a few different accounts and none worked.
Contract is up soon with 3Ireland, so I'm looking around for a better deal.
ah well!

Lash_Alert · 16-05-2012 8:57pm

Just signed up for a HTC One X. I had to pay a 130 deposit along with the phone charge of 189, is this normal? They said it happens on everyone and that you get it back in a few months, but its their insurance kind of thing?

Seems normal enough, and since you get it back it isn't really an issue (unless you can't afford it right now or they don't pay you back)

I signed up yesterday & wasn't asked for a deposit!:)

I'm not a customer of theirs & used my Mum's Eircom account details!

I think it may be a random thing???

Might depend on the original eircom account and how you look. My friend was asked for a deposit but he does look like a bit of a scut

111lee7 · 16-05-2012 9:14pm

ive tried my mums account details but was told it was invalid

chris1970 · 16-05-2012 10:25pm

How good is coverage with emobile, if its with meteor then data is ropey at best of times where I am in galway city, anyone?

EMobile is just rebranded meteor.

The best thing for anyone to do is get a pay as you go sim and try out the voice and data coverage before committing to a contract.

Great idea. I think I have a Meteor sim lying around somewhere.

Pj! · 17-05-2012 1:44am

Is it true that if a call goes over an hour you are charged for it?

Who Knew? · 17-05-2012 2:02am

Just signed up for this. Getting the One X as well. Great offer!

Sponge Bob · 17-05-2012 10:08am

I think eMobile can roam off Vodafone 3G in some parts where Meteor cannot. The eircom 3G network has crap coverage and the Vodafone one is much better.

moonshadow · 17-05-2012 10:19am

Signed up and orderd phone yesterday,being delivered today,far easier to do over the phone.
Many thanks OP

Funkyzeit · 17-05-2012 10:29am

How long till people got their phones (ordered the one x) - or at least a tracking number?

Ordered mine Tuesday - was told initially it'd be delivered yesterday "at the latest" but would receive "an email within hours"
Was then told today they had no way of knowing status of the order so "check back late next week. Wtf? :eek:

UnknownSpecies · 17-05-2012 10:35am

Anybody know if the voucher can be used in carphone warehouse? I'm still holding out hope for them allowing me use it in July :P

yes.. emobile and meteor do this, once it goes over the 59 mins you start to be charged, but u can just hang up an call again straight away and you will be fine!!

Frankmagnet · 17-05-2012 11:57am

Any word on eMobile getting the Galaxy S3?

Wonder if that will be included in this deal when it launches?

cadger1978 · 17-05-2012 11:59am

Anyone got a voucher code they can PM for use?Having no luck with account number or requesting discount directly through eMobile.Cheers.

I don't know if either of those things is still the case. Certainly I've found the eMobile/Meteor 3G access to be considerably quicker and wider spread than Vodafone's.

Got a voucher code from my folks for this.. Just noticed at the bottom of the flyer it says in the small print that the code can be used twice. Sweet! Gonna sign the missus up aswell...

As per the above if anyone has a voucher they are only using the once I'd be very grateful if I could use it for the second time!

moonshadow · 17-05-2012 3:49pm

Ordered yesterday lunchtime received today at 2pm

Avox · 17-05-2012 3:57pm

If anyone has a code they didn't use twice, would be very grateful if you sent it my way..

Does that mean that your connection is moved entirely to Vodafone (like being abroad), or if they automatically piggyback on Vodafone behind the scenes where they've no 3G coverage though?

As I said, I've found the eMobile 3G coverage to be better than Vodafone's so far, but I don't think I've been out of Leinster since switching over.

chris1970 · 17-05-2012 7:02pm

Ii would love to get away from o2, a spare voucher if available very much apprecitated

BArra · 17-05-2012 7:12pm

do you need a voucher code or will using your eircom account number work?

The voucher code is ur eircom account number. Not all account numbers work tho, my folks have two eircom accounts and only one works..

Hi guys, I am still waiting on my spare vouchers. I will let you all know how many I get in total. Whoever has already PM'd me will be first to get them!

...Also I would recommend anyone who is thinking of getting the Galaxy S3 to wait a few more days. It should be released within the next 2 weeks, and it will be available on this offer. I played with an S3 yesterday and I have to say -it's by far the best phone ive used in a long long time!

I'm waiting for the S3 anyway!

jayjay2010 · 17-05-2012 8:54pm

..as soon as I find out the pricing/ availability of the S3 I will let you guys know!:D

unklerosco · 17-05-2012 9:15pm

Going into an emobile store is a waste of time, HTC one x is €249 in store or €189 online... Heck of a difference
