Network Advise

Unwilling

Hello

I am currently vodafone, pay as you go. But I've noticed I am a chronic texter and in Nov and Dec topped up SEVENTY EURO EACH MONTH.
So, I'm putting a stop to it and trying to curb my addiction.

In conjunction with reviewing my options to change network to someone who will offer me a better deal.

There is no specific time when I text so am/pm weekend midweek doesn't really apply.
I do text constantly so 1000+ a month but don't really make calls..

Can any one advise any plans or packages that would suit me the best... happy to go bill pay to reduce my costs..

With your usage I absolutely 100% guarantee you that prepay is much better value.

On prepay; Vodafone, O2 and Meteor offer free texts to any network for topping up by just €20 a month.

What network are you on??

I agree with the previous comment. I'm on the meteor pay as you and top up €20 every month and that gives me 30 days of free texts to all Irish networks. I can then use the €20 solely for calls.

The other good thing about meteor is that when you're roaming you can receive calls for free*.

*I know this is true while in the UK at least after you have registered for this service with meteor and are on the T-mobile network

OP, all you have to do is log in to your account online here: https://www.vodafone.ie/myv/services/login/login.jsp?redirect=/myv/myaccount/freecallstxt/

You can stay on vodafone prepay, you are not on the right plan. They have free texts to any network for €20 a month.

This has been out for ages!

You could try 3's best of both 15 option.
€15 per month gets you 40 mins to any network, 40 mins 3 to 3 and unlimited texts to every network

This is a 30 day rolling contract so you can cancel at anytime

You need to ask to go on the price plan. You dont get it automatically. Click the link i posted, and put yourself on the plan without having to ring them!

Just did a test.. free texts vodafone to vodafone, but 13 c vodafone to meteor!

Davy

Sounds like your on free 'calls and texts' which is to vodafone numbers only.

Free texts to any network is a different plan.

for the third time, log into my account on vodafone and select the free network texts plan.

Thank you for that. I heard it was so but couldn't work it out. I get frustrated with the websites...
Don't understand why it says free texts to all networks TICK and then gives you a cost of 13 c for texts!?
DONE it now. Topped up so going to do a test later.
If it doesn't work I'll be right back on to YOU

See, now you don't have to even consider curbing your addiction even a little bit. Text away! I can't imagine my phone bill if I was a pay monthly customer!

Davy

ok,, if it doesnt work i will take a beating
