    I've only ever had a bill phone.

    Everyone I know seems to be permanently in a state of running out of credit... how do you people live like that?

    I had about 3-4 hundred on my very first meteor phone, they had only launched so I bought a phone and there was 300 on the sim card aswell as the free credit that came with it. I only copped the 300 after a couple of days when I rang to check my balance. It was sweet cos I rang them about it and they just left it there!!

    about €50, I'm on bill pay now though. Much easier, it was a pain in the arse having to go buy credit.

    Had no credit because Meteor charged me for calls by mistake so I got my credit back and a bit extra. (10 altogether) Topped up with 20 for my free calls/texts. Phone broke, had to get another one, got 20 free for registering, had 50 on the phone. Going to top up with 20 to get my free calls/texts at the end of the month, will get 10 euro a month for doing so. (At the moment I have 46.23.

    Bit of a false economy really, I'm spending loads of money just to get the free calls and texts! In fairness, I text a lot and call my friend for free a lot, so it's all good.

    I do remember my sister having over 80 euro credit at some stage.

    It goes faster because you think you have loads and call or text loads.

    I rang to see why it was there, I was afraid that the would take it back and when I put more credit in they would take what I used out of it and I could have been in a big minus!

    About €100 shortly before I moved to billpay and was getting heavily pissed off with topping up every few days.

    I don't see why anyone over the age of 18 is still using kiddie methods of paying for it. I was having to put €150+ a month on, same network my average bill is now 60. Calls and data actually cost reasonable amounts, not obscene ones.

    Something along the lines of 180 euros, I switched over to o2 and they messed up and I ended up with lots of credit.

    Dunno what my max amount was, I suppose around €60

    I'm 24 and still use pay as you go because it only costs me around €20 a month and I get free texts to meteor (lots of my family / friends are on that). I text topup with my bank account once a month to get my free texts for the month. Cant understand people paying bills and line rental when there's a cheaper option :p Couldn't be handier!

    Max amount about 40-50 yoyos. I only spend about 30 euro a month so no point getting a bill pay phone. Oh, and the AIB text top-up is so handy I can't believe everyone doesn't do it! :rolleyes:

    You know we get those free texts *all the time* on meteor bill pay, right?
