    A new phone shop in Swan Centre, Rathmines, are selling Voda sim packs for €25 with allegedly €80 credit on them... I asked if it was really €80 on them and if they were sim packs from phone upgrades, but he said it was really €80 on them.. Anyone bought there? I was hesitant to do it because the pack looked just like the €9.99 sim packs from Vodafone Stores with €25 credit..

    I was telling a story recently about a Voda sim card I purchased for a tenner (to keep an old phone as a spare) and was told by the guy in the store that it came with 80.00 euro's credit (over 8 months) .....

    and do you know what? ..... :confused:

    it did !!!! ...... the credit came thru as promised .... :)

    (purchased just over a year ago)

    All vodafone prepay's come with €80 credit (tenner a month for 8 months, when you register your details with vodafone on or after purchase) be they new connections, upgrades or sim packs. Sim only packs are €10. €25 for a sim only pack sounds well dodgy, avoid!

    I purchased the 10.00 euro sim in Shannon town centre (a bit over a year ago) ........ can't say I've seen the 25.00 packs .....

    If your ok with Voda and RTG and need a sim it seems a good deal to me .... :)

    This is not true. Only the sims bundled with a new phone, comes with 80 euros spread over 8 months. On the other side, I was wrong above, where I said that the 9.99 sim-only comes with 25 euros - it's actually only 15 euros: http://www.vodafone.ie/onlinestore/product.jsp?cat=simpacks&productId=16393

    So what I wondered in the OP was whether they are really selling the sims from the phone+sim bundled packs standalone in this shop in Swan centre... Sounds strange that they are taking them out from the bundled packs, also you need an IMEI number to get the 8 instalments, to shop that you really bought the phone.....
