Meteor are offering free meteor calls and texts with their smart lite bill pay plans if you sign up online by the end of May

So for €30 a month you get
200 minutes
200 texts
free meteor talk and text
1 gb of internet
no contract

thought this was a good offer especially for smart phone users

But are the free talk and text to meteor for life or only for the first month?

[phunkymonk]

Im on this plan, pretty sure its for life....

its a good plan on it about 3 months now and have never reached my quota of 200 free txts or minutes - obviously not using it as much as i should but its good to have for only 30 quid..didnt realise there was an internet allownce...

one thing i will say is that you have to be on this plan for 2 months(2 bills have to be paid) before roaming is set up,i found this out the hard way..in london for a weekend and no phone working = pure disaster! never got round to complainin tho..my bad!

I think its for 12 months

Where Qualifying Customers subscribe during the Promotional Period, the Offer involves, in addition to the standard monthly allowances with such plans, a free Meteor-to-Meteor talk and text add-on for a period of 12 months from instigation, covering calls and texts to numbers on the Meteor Network.

Also its only for new customers i.e. coming from another network, existing prepay or payg cant get it.

Port away and port back. Technically its meant to be 30 days, but ring them and tell them you are going to leave if you can be switched to it, and see will they.

Those texts/calls are to numbers that aren't on Meteor. So if you're texting someone on Meteor it does not count towards the 200.

I did that, called them to change tariff, got told it was for new customers, I said ok off to O2 I go....they passed me to the retention dept and 5 mins later I had the new tarrif....new contract tho. The girl I spoke to regarding retention was really helpful and polite.

Will The "threaten to leave" thing work for PAYG does anyone think? This plan would be perfect for me like.

Thinking the same too, I'm payg. Not sure they'd care if I threatened to leave.

Might call into meteor shop today. On O2 prepay and they have nothing like this. Spend about 40 euro/month on credit.

Man... i only switched to meteor bill pay last month to get the HTC Legend... no offer like this mentioned to me. Just reading about it on their site says its sim only and only if you get it online.

[phunkymonk]

I was Pay as you go customer then i went into metoer and they switched me no hassle...that was back in January...have the rules changed?

all in all,good package!

Kendragon...although its bill pay, if i want to upgrade my phone i have to buy a pay as you go phone...as far as im aware your not eligable to avail of the bill pay prices...hence why they wouldnt offer you the deal.You wudve had to buy the HTC as pay as you go then switch.
