Three not as cheap as you think

    I've been looking to get a new phone & network on bill pay and looked seriously at 3, meteor & O2. Had almost gone with 'three' and then crap service stopped me, then thought about Meteor - quite good excellent service but in the end opted for O2.

    Why.

    3 have the cheapest price plans but the dearest phones, they also don't allow you to carry over unused minutes but even more importantly is people who call you fom landlines are chrged about 30c per minute against 22c per minute for O2 and 27c per minute for Meteor!

    Why O2 - you can carry over minutes, phones are cheapest (and best range) and if you buy online they give you 20% extra minutes every month + for the next 6 months 100% extra free!

    So headline price is not always best price!

    For some odd reason, I suspect landline calls from eircom to Meteor will no doubt go down in price shortly :)

    But you're right, you really do need to investigate all aspects when choosing your company. Free minutes aren't everything. You need to cover all aspects, from calls, texts to roaming, phone to, like you said, how cheap it is for people to call you as well, something which most people wouldn't even think about.
