New Meteor PAYG plan free Meteor txt and internet (250MB)

Pyro Boy

Just saw this go up on the website :


Here is the full details on the plan http://www.meteor.ie/plans/pay_as_you_go/#plans-tab




What do you think ?? 250MB a month doesn't seem a lot if even if you only do light browsing 8MB a day...

But still a good start for meteor.
Added a poll for internet usage on your phone

Well I never really used more than 8mb (of the 50mb you get if you use the internet for one day for 99c) in one day but then I'd only be checking email etc. Either way it is a good start and hopefully the others will follow:).

I think this has merit. I only use phone internet when away from home, 250Mb month would do the trick fine. Lots of people would like to use the internet sporadicially rather than using a lot every day.

If only it was free any network texts:rolleyes: I'd be porting!:D

If you combine this app (http://www.cabbagetexter.com/cabbagemobile.php) with the free webtexts and internet then you could send 300 texts per month to any network for free on this Meteor tariff.

You'd ideally need to use something like Opera for web page compression. I think the front page of the full Boards.ie comes down as a half MB.

76KB on Opera Mini!!!:D

Any page on m.boards.ie comes down as 3kb, some of the massively long threads come as 7KB.

250mb is enough they would want to double it at least if not again

chrislad

250megs is plenty for your average user. Not for your typical techie, but for 90% of people who just use facebook, email and soccer scores etc, it's the finest.

It's a good offer alright. Now if only they could sort out their diabolical network I'd switch back over!

Not to mention their even worse customer service that you have to deal with when their diabolical network screws you up.

Nice price plan though. Hopefully other networks will follow suit shortly.

Im on bill with Meteor but am out of contract. Am thinking of moving to PAYG as my bills seems to be higher when all I do it txt. Can I move to this new PAYG the Free Internet and Free Meteor to MEteor txt from bill pay???

fox007

I have an Iphone 3g on meteor is anyone else using this deal? all I would use it for is face book, email. I would use everything else on wifi would this be ok for me or would I be over the monthly limit?How do I sign up cheers!

Random

great progress here in terms of data being free. networks are trying to get everyone onto the network bandwagon with all the new phones coming out and i'm loving it.

fox007

Just tried to sign up there by text it came back sorry you cannot opt-in to free browse and texts for life at this time?? Has anyone with an Iphone signed up for this?

I do wonder how we can track our usage. I'd rather use a shortcode than rely on my handset's internal tracker- after all, if any queries exist, meteor would trust their systems, not mine.

I used to avail of *#105# when on the 99c per day data allowance, but I don't think this works on the offer.

(Signed up to the offer thirty minutes ago; confirmation text not received.)

Yeah, which is quite silly. And, I can't even find the access to it on the MyMeteor portal. There's definitely no way you can check it out on the move. If I remember correctly, hitting the MyMeteor website on your handset redirects to a WAP site, mostly for ringtones. I don't even think the balance option is there.

Nope.

"Sorry. Your message was not recognised. Please see www.meteor.ie for more information".

Again, still can't find data allowance on mymeteor.ie. Only call history.

fox007

Did anyone find a way to cheak out there data balance yet?

StaticNoise

Nope; sadly.
I've a feeling they might con us on the usage.

Text "balance data" to 50104


I use it all the time, but i'm on bill pay so I dunno if it's the same.

Your phone should keep a log of that data

I'm thinking of switching to this plan, i signed up for free metoer txts years ago on the anytime plan..


just wondering...

will i still get the montly free credit? think its like 3eu once i top up with 20

and any different charges/costs on the other calls/txts to other networks or is it all the same? ...right now ive free meteor>metoer txts, so why not add the internet on for free, that would be the only difference if i switched right?


i used 8mb of data online the last 30 days! ...im always using the phones gps checking mails Im's on the go figured id just add the internet option on


also im going away to asia in a fe weeks, the roaming charges are all the same on payg regardless of the different plans?

*#105# to check your usage, is that what you're looking for?

edit: it's probably not, sorry, this one only allows you to check your daily limits with the 50mb a day thing.

Go here: http://cabbagetexter.com/balance.htm

Type in your phone number and password and hit go.

Save the second page as a bookmark and go straight to it whenever you want to check

I'm on bill pay so the PAYG page might not be exactly the same and it might not work. If it doesn't work could someone save the first page after you log in and send it to me?

StaticNoise

"Failed" is the message I got after trying.

You'd think Meteor had this down by now, like, they should really have thought through a way to check. I've a feeling they rushed this, as another network are starting to do likewise.

Could you save the page you get after you log in (assuming you can see the data balance on it) and email it to cabbagetexting[at]gmail.com? You should cut out any personal info though, I just need the part that displays the balance

-=al=-

thx for the reply there seems to be no changes in charges from the old anytime plan to the new metoer txts + free internet, lately im pretty much spending most credit on the internet charges I'll make the switch later today i think, only thing ill lose is the 3eu a month, but thats hardly any biggie, thats the only difference i can find from switching

No message appeared on screen at all, bar standard text saying "failed".

You could just check mymeteor.ie ....

StaticNoise

Yeah, that's a way around it, only it takes a lot of effort searching through the pages to get the final total, which is in KB and is not listed as your free inclusive data.

But, as said, it doesn't give exact details of what data it is. For example, if you begun the plan this month, as I did, you are getting a mixture of last months paid for data and this months free data. You cannot determine the difference between the two.
