what is the case regarding your previous post of 5000 people being randomly selected from who signed up to hear more? Is this not the case anymore?

I see your point and I completely agree! I was told by a former colleague (who is now working within the Dixon Carphone group) that this was the case, but apparently, from my understanding (and my own speculation), this was either removed because of demand (removed because of the fact it would cost a bomb) or because is not being flaunted (because of the 'prize') but could still happen.

I don't question what I was told, but from my own speculation, I'd rather err on the side of caution. I'm going to take a back seat in this thread as I am unsure of the outcome of this and don't want any more uncertain information going around which could complicate some people!

Sure, I'm in the same boat as you!

I am lurking and I will come back with as much information as I can when more concrete.

Anyone got 4G?

FourFourRED · 14-08-2015 8:45pm

Jesus these guys are annoying. Facebook updates everyday yet nothing about price plans or a launch date. Amateur hour. I'll be avoiding them.

possible but i dont have a 4g phone so wouldnt know either way i dont think!?

StaticNoise · 14-08-2015 9:50pm

No blackspots on the network, other than those experienced by Three customers.

Customer Care team are very friendly and helpful. They're very nice and easy to talk to, plus they get things done fast. Hopefully it lasts. Eishtec are the folks being the team. Fair play to them so far.

I'm in Dublin and 3G is still the only option. I'm right beside a mast, and I've been in places earlier close to them (Three/Former O2 sites) and still getting 3G. This evening I have got only HSDPA and not H+, so maybe something is going on. Probably not.

Who else in Dublin has got 4G this evening? What parts? I'd be surprised. 4G from the hard launch, not this soft launch. We'll see. Next week is D-Day.

LOL

- In other words, customers will experience all the same chronic handover and cell shrinkage problems as Three customers since the merge! The only advantage might be that the customer care might be more civilised to deal with than the Mumbai crew who handle Three. And maybe they won't charge €1 per MB for tethering, as Three have started doing without telling anyone.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Three network is still banjaxed, and even the Three reps on talk-to-three admit that it is going to take at least 2 years to roll out coverage at the old O2 sites.

Anyone considering any MVNO's that piggyback on Three would be well advised to have a good read of the Talk-to-Three forum first.

Wow. I'm not saying that I don't agree, I'm just saying wow.

Saw on their twitter feed that tethering is allowed. Can't post the link. It was a msg to someone two days ago.

What 3 plan charges you for tethering, some people on old o2 plans where they always were maybe but there's no cost built into any 3 plan. It's unlimited data.

15GB fair usage policy.

After that, they will throttle your speeds.

Tethering is not included in "unlimited" data even if you haven't broken through the 15GB fair-usage barrier.. Three have always made it very clear that any Tethering is prohibited. What they did not make clear is what the consequences would be if you ignored the rules. They have now started charging for data if you tether. Some users on Talk-to-Three have got bills of hundreds or even Thousands of Euro! The reps have admitted that they are now charging for tethering, and they explain that the charges are simply the out-of-bundle rates that they have always advertised. Uproar on the media last week about it also.

Any "iD" (get it?) When the launch is? I'm on 48 ATM and looking forward to someone competing with them for good prices

the CEO of the KillBiller app was on Newstalk this morning talking about their new killbiller irish mobile network report on the id mobile launch

He said the id mobile tariffs are available already on their app for comparison. Unfortunately that app doesnt support Windows phone (:eek:...) i cant say what they are. Maybe someone else can?

I downloaded it to see and ask it gives me is the prices with no actual plan information so it's pretty useless.

StaticNoise · 17-08-2015 1:03pm

Don't mind KillBiller.

Yes, I'm biased because they've also got a plan comparison site, but MoolaMonkey doesn't take money or referral cuts.
However, today's announcement is below the bar. Don't state to your customers that you've got information when you don't really.

If you tell porkies to your customers, you're going to turn them against you.

/Anyway, back on with the topic.

Minutes can be used to call standard Irish landlines, standard Irish mobiles and the iD Mobile voicemail service whilst in the Republic of Ireland.

Thanks well worth a try for 15 euro a month and 30 day rolling contract

deadl0ck · 17-08-2015 7:07pm

I wasn't quite clear on what network infrastructure they are piggy-backing on.
Can someone clarify ?
I'm on Tesco mobile and coverage at home is patchy at best, but if iD are on 3/O2/Tesco network it'll be the same coverage right ?
