Meteor €20 deal

This is not a deal. Which part of that are you having trouble understanding?

Two near identical products. One twice the price than the other. The "deal" part apparently being that you don't have to worry about topping up. Said "deal" apparently worth every cent of the €120 extra per year. Pull the other one.

As you mentioned these are two 'near identical products'
So therefore not the same
So therefore I reiterate - This is a bargain for the type of product that it is.
It is not the best value available but it is a better bargain than can be gotten from other operators offering the same options
Its as easy as saying that last week I could get X for €25 now I can get X for €20 - if thats not a bargain alert then I dont know what is.

You are trolling like a maniac here but please carry on.

You have been at pains to point out by your constant posts that there is a better offer available for another product which could be seen as trolling but lets not go there as I am sure you would agree it is pointless for me to troll on a post I created

Dear BionicRasher,
Can you please switch to 48, pay me €20 and for the "hassle" I'll top you up each month keeping a tenner for my trouble.

This is not a bargain. It is for you, but you are willing to pay €10 extra a month to avoid all of the 2 minutes it takes to top up online with other providers. In suggesting this as a bargain it would be like recommending a restaurant where you pay twice the price because the food comes already chewed.

Its the best SIM only Bill Pay/Post paid offer on the market from what I can tell. I am sure you would agree that not every bargain suits everyone so lets leave it at that
I dont go on to the Dominos bargain thread and say that I can get a better and cheaper product in my local pizzeria as they may be similar products but they are not for everyone and therefore its not really relevant.

It's nonsense is what it is. But he's gone too far and I doubt he'll admit to it now.

Its not nonsense - Its the best SIM only Bill Pay/Post paid offer on the market. If you want to post a bargain alert about another type of product i.e. the offer from 48 then by all means post a new bargain to let people know

So just to reconfirm
There is now a better bargain to be had by choosing the new(ish) €20 plan from Meteor. For people wishing to remain on direct debit bill pay you can now get 200 mins, unlimited texts and 1GB of data all for €20 per month.

Can't help but feel this has been missed so here goes

Unlimited data
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited calls to landlines and all networks at weekends
Unlimited calls to Three

It's pre-pay on 3. But... I have it set up so that 3 tops me up automatically by €20 at the same time every month from my bank account. It's not a direct debit, there is no contract. I can cancel it or change it at any time in the future and it is zero "hassle."

In essence everything except calls made Mon-Fri are free. So the €20 credit is used when you make a call mid week. Last month I had €12 credit left when it topped me up again. This is by far the best deal out there right now.

Nice deal - how do you set it up to have the €20 taken each month? Thats essentially like a direct debit but in a roundabout way and seems like a good idea

Strange thread...
OP doesnt want the hassle of having to top up but is quite happy to spend time and effort replying to posts on here suggesting better deal?

Crazy

Not slagging you off and I hope you find what you want..

its a crazy old world

each to their own - what if I don't use online banking or don't trust giving my debit card details across the internet. My parents would fall in to that category and to be honest they would not be technically able to do a top up online

Tis a crazy old world after all and a lot of the craziness seems to be in online forums!!

I still find it amusing that of all the knockers not one has come back with a cheaper post pay/bill pay plan

At this stage I don't think you would listen as you seem to have made up your mind.

Good luck again...

And good luck to you - thanks for your help and input

I am still interested in this and how it works as I can cancel my Meteor deal next month due to it being a 30 day contract
Only issue is 3 coverage is not the best in my area but maybe its worth a try
