    Just as in the title: I am currently with o2 but am gonna port to meteor. Are o2 strict on the email-phone number association? Or is o2.ie viewed as a separate entity? Will i still be able to use my email address after i port?

    You'll lose the o2.ie account/email (If my experience is anything to go by.)

    you should loose it. I wouldn't take the fact that you seen to still have it to be a certainty. You could lose it any day now. Best option is prob buying another sim like the guy above suggested and use the sim every 6 months to keep it active.

    Just FYI O2 will eventually do a purge of the system and catch all the non attached e mail addresses.

    Could be tomorrow, could be a year.

    Get using GMAIL as your primary mail client :)

    It has been since its release.
