    No problem at all, ordered using mother in laws number down in kilkenny and I am in Dublin. They never even queried. sure that the reps dont care once they have a valid account nuber

    They didn't ask you to confirm that you lived at that address? Or ask you to provide the courier with proof of address? I must be unlucky!

    yes it was worth it, screen real estate is excellent and quality brilliant. size will take a few days to get used to

    only gripe is the back key is on far left, so being right handed its a small struggle to get ur finger to it. just a matter of getting used to

    Do you have to stay using the phone you choose at the start of the contract or can you switch to a different phone at any stage?

    I know someone who's interested in the plan but doesn't want any of the phones on offer (meaning I can take the free phone.)

    If so which of the free phones is the best?

    I've currently got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini.

    My HOX came on Tuesday, haven't opened it yet, hanging out to see if the S3 comes up on this deal as I think I would prefer that but think I will have to bite the bullet really as it probably won't and the 7 days won't be long going.

    Everyone please tell me how great it is. lol

    Also, I will give Meteor a buzz later but I cancelled my Meteor bill pay lite on 11th May(30 days cancellation) and I want to port my number.
    My billing cycle is from the 14th of the month so I have 173 mins instead of 200 mins and a bit less than the 1gb data.
    So far this month I have used 88mins and 512data, if I port today, will they allow the mins allowance up to 11th June or will take it per day and hit me for charges if I port before my official cancellation?

    Signed up for this at last.
    Both my business and home account numbers wouldnt work online.
    Rang emobile 5 seperate times trying to get a code. Each time was met with a different response. Got transferred to customer service, landline dept, told to go to an emobile store, etc.
    If the offer wasnt so good I would have given up long ago, but I kept calling back hoping to speak to someone who knew what they were doing.
    Finally found one, signed me up over the phone in minutes.
    Chose the xperia s, expecting it Monday, very happy.

    Have the guy's name if anyone (please be an eircom customer at least though) wants it, pm me.

    Not unless they take your friends account data as the name/address, if so don't sign up.

    If they accept your data (and they should) there is no problem.

    That is the biggest problem eMobile have...that and rural coverage....the staff is very pleasant but clueless and untrained.

    That is because the call centre is in Cork and the managers are all in Dublin and think they can run it by email.

    Of course it is fair, if the plan was truly unlimited what wouldn't be fair about that?

    What's not fair is having a 15GB plan and calling it unlimited, why don't they just call it a 15GB plan?

    Just on this point, the ASAI believes it's perfectly fine to advertise something as unlimited if a proveable percentage (99% I believe) are not affected by the actual limitation. Coincidentally I found out about this strange interpretation after complaining about a previously eMobile "unlimited" offering..

    I signed up for this deal online and received my phone yesterday.

    I tried entering my eircom a/c number again (out of curiosity) and am getting "Sorry this is not a valid voucher code, please try again."

    So it appears you cannot use it twice (at least online)

    Anyone tried to order one of these on the special offer yet? Do you know what the story is here?

    IMHO, probably the HTC One S or the Samsung Glalaxy S2...

    If you had a few quid to spare... like €90, I'd get the HTC One X though...

    Why wouldn't you be able to change phone? Probably you'd have to buy the other phone outright (unless you already own it) but it should work.

    Are you on eMobile yourself? If you're on another network, the only thing to watch out for is that the phone may need to be unlocked from the network.

    Typically, you can only unlock a phone after a certain number of months or some other limitations. I would check that out with someone from eMobile first... or you may be waiting for a few months before being able to use the phone!

    Oh really?

    I had a look at the 'Select Unlimited' page without applying any discount and it had the HTC One X at €89 and the other two for free.

    Think a previous poster said they got the one x for 89 alright! Makes sense as this offer is just a discount on the monthly tariff and so phone prices shouldnt really change
