    Nah, the site just hasnt been updated since it was first put up. That will change. Either that or they'll have no customers....

    If you do a network search, you will see they cover quite a bit of Dublin..


  • Registered Users Posts: 887 ✭✭✭byrnefm


    How are you searching for their network? I did a search but only got the regular three networks. Will they only show up (in a network search) if you've a 3G phone?

    Correct, the only oines I can find at the mo are Voda and O2 . Three have never appeared on any search I did so its safe to say they are not even testing yet.

    No (to the gm question), they are a 3g network only.

    was in dublin two days ago and got it on my nokia 6600 on o connol st and the 6600 is not 3G

    So nobody knows when they're going live?

    I know they still have to have thier new website designed for Ireland and numbers are going to be 083 but was wondering if anyone knew of dates? I'm guessing 2-3 months?

    Will be the summer before they go live. The only certainty is that it will before Xmas..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,414 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    So i guess that fits in. I hope they dont do a meteor half assed job at the start and only cover the GPO to start with and work outwards. :P

    Are the recrutiing yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,414 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270

    And what do you mean by recruiting (what areas?) and to be honnest i have no idea


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre

    If 3 Ireland are going to be 083, who took 084?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭BigMoose

    I heard a rumour that Eircom did on the off chance they manage to get back into the mobile market. This could well be total rubbish and 083 lends itself far better to "3"s marketing plans!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,414 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    Ah i got the answer but cant tell ye :( just to say it was one of the dates i posted above and have now removed.

    According to Comreg they have been live for over a year now and are therefore fully compliant with their licence conditions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,414 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    You know what i mean live to the public.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 109 ✭✭d-j-k


    As far as I know 3Ireland http://www.3ireland.ie/ are still testing. Their website hasn't been updated in ages though but I assume they'll be launching something soon.

    They signed a deal with Vodafone to give them national GSM roaming, similar to the deal Meteor signed with O2 to fill in their coverage gaps.

    The roaming agreement with Vodafone is for GSM / GPRS only though. They will not be able to roam on Vodafone's 3G network


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,414 ✭✭✭optiplexgx270


    Correct they will have full coverage from day one. Thats a good start anyways. They will be live in the next < 4 months i have the date (was told yesterday in work) but tis a secret.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 109 ✭✭d-j-k


    Well they'll have full voice and GPRS coverage from day one. 3G services will still be pretty patchy until their network rolls out fully.

    It'll be nice to see the market spiced up a bit again. There's very little sign of serious competition. Even meteor seems to have started to relax.

    Are there any signs of any virtual mobile networks appearing. Comreg ruled that O2 and Vodafone have to allow them to use their networks. I know eircom were looking into launching a service.

    According to ComReg's website they are 083

    Loads of number ranges reserved in the 083 code:

    E.g

    083 3000000 to 3099999 Hutchison 3G Ireland Ltd


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,883 ✭✭✭cgarvey


    Slight typo there d-j-k ...

    3000000 - 3099999
    3100000 - 3199999
    3300000 - 3399999

    .. and for Voicemail (presumably)...
    50000000 - 50099999
    53000000 - 53099999
    53100000 - 53199999
    53300000 - 53399999
