Cheapest Text from a handset - No gimmicks

dumbyearbook

Hi,

Apart from Webtext/ anything to do with the Internet - who has the cheapest text message to any network, pre pay or bill pay i have both anyway.......

So that excludes Meteor to Meteor free for all you skinflints out there! ha joking seriously.....do meteor have a bundle even? no...

Is 5c text as low as poss? Text bundle on 3/O2/Vodafone?

Sam Vimes

except for AFT, i think 5c is the lowest you can get. meteor has a 5c text bundle, 150 texts for €7.50

Kurn

5c is standard on 3Mobile - this as far as i know includes MMS! - so its a pretty good deal!

Meteor text bundles dis-able the Free meteor to meteor text too which is cruel......

"Customers may not avail of the 5c text Add-On while also availing of Meteor's ‘Free text & picture messages for life' offer. Purchasing a text will result in the loss of free texts & picture messages for life."

"Once a customer has moved from Free Texts for Life to the 5c text Add-On offer they may not move back to Free Texts for Life. "

that's out of date. that's from when the new offer was free texts until 2008. they were saying people couldn't move back to the old offer because it wasn't available anymore. it is now

FAir enough but they may take it down from their site so as its doing no favours for them, on another note from the last couple of lines of the T&Cs the following

"Customers availing of a Meteor 5c Text Add-On and the free text offer must use all messages in the Add-On before the free text offer will apply. "

Which means that you are charged 5c for a "free" meteor text, so if all your first texts out of the bundle are to meteor you'll end up paying for them - which is'nt a free text at all !!

no you're not, all they're saying is you can't use both offers at the same time. you would have bought 150 for 7.50 and that's what they'd be providing you with, with the free text offer kicking in once the other one was finished
