Another reason to ditch your landline

    Dec 3d, 2009. The Irish Times reports that more than 100,000 Eircom customers will be told this week that they will be charged more for less in future.

    Customers who signed up to deals that gave them unlimited calls to Meteor mobile numbers, as well as to local and national numbers, are being sent letters telling them that the offer is being cut back.

    Customers will now be entitled to 30 free minutes worth of calls a month to Meteor numbers and 500 minutes of free national and local calls. They will also be asked to pay an extra EUR2 a month for the bundle. The changes take effect from 1 January.

    From ENN.ie so I don't have the I.T. link, sorry.

    Eircom's offer of unlimited meteor calls was deamed as anti-competitive by Comreg as Eircom own Meteor and as such nobody else could compete with the offer.

    Of course now Eircom have cut the offer far more then they needed to considering Vodafone offer unlimited local and national calls to landlines and 200 vodafone mobile min on a number of there plans.

    Hi Cabaal, Eircom seem to be good at shooting themselves in the foot :confused:.

    Your mention of Vodafone makes me think of a similar plan that I have with O2. It's €20 p.m., unlimited local and national landline, and unlimited O2. Calls outside of these destinations are expensive if I recall.

    The reason I need to recall is because when you marry this plan with calleasy.com you sidestep the higher rates. It is darn good value and because it's all on the mobile, VERY convenient!

    Do others have similar (or better) setups for calling using a mobile?
