    Three do, but they suck ass.

    Meteor give you 60 mins, 30 texts and free calls to any network all day Saturday.

    O2 give you 40 minutes and 50 texts, but they have an off peak tariff which gives you 150 off peak minutes and 50 texts.

    Vodafone give you 50 minutes and 50 texts.

    Three give you 100 minutes but if you have any problems, good luck to you. Their customer care is dire.

    Really depends on what you're looking for. O2 do have a texting option too if you just text, plus you can still get free Meteor to Meteor texts and 5c Meteor calls if you ask.

    What's Meteor's reception like now? I had them a few years ago and it really wasn't the best.

    Their reception is perfect for me all over Dublin/Wexford. I am on their €20 and my bill never exceeds €27. I left o2 last year and am glad I did.

    Go for it

    **Edit** Just noticed your in Cork, have a look at their coverage map but you should be fine

    on three with 100minutes for €19/month and coverage is usually faultless for calls texts mms but internet can be precarious at times. cheap calls texts and customer care is diabolical

    wouldn't answer the phone.

    I made a few phone calls yesterday evening. And I don't think I'll be staying with O2, way too expensive.

    I think meteor might have the best deal.

    You mean the pay as you go?

    I have that now and have had it for 6 or 7 years, maybe more. But they recently changed the T&Cs of getting the free credit when you upgrade. Now you have to spend €20 every month to get the "free" €10.
