Good deals @ meteor.ie

Zonda999

Two fairly decent deals on phones as far as i can see, free delivery too apparently

Only 10€ for a phone has to be a good deal, enough said..

This, at 100€ is a good deal for an android, but at 80€, its even better!

I suppose it is a good deal. But i used one of these during the week, and the screen really is quite small considering it's a touch screen with no number pad. And it was quite slow. It is cheap though so maybe i'm being to critical of it.

But the other one for a tenner is definitely a bargain. I think i'll order one as a spare phone!

Cheers Zonda!

Ah well its not the last word in android smartphones but i know a few people who have 'em and are getting on fine with them. Its running Eclair (2.1) at the moment, but its getting the upgrade to froyo (2.2) before the end of March, so its still an up to date handset to be fair!

Hope it will change to 15 euro when it comes to June, only reason I got the phone was to get the money back

my gf bought it online for 99 last friday

Just registered with fatcheese and am going to purchase this 9.99 phone, i've clicked the fc link for meteor, i dont see anything related to fc on the meteor website though when i go to purchase?

Tried to buy €9.99 phone and Meteor won't accept Moneybookers Card :mad:

Don't be so sure you'll get your money back of Fatchese. Me and some others have bought Vodafone phones for 9,99 in January and did get nothing until now.

It takes a couple of months to come through. Log in to Fatcheese and see what the pending funds status says.

ecomac

a couple of months? it's already over three months and we put even claim, but no luck. I'm just saying fatchese doesn't work everytime. If you need a cheap, spare phone, go for that. If you hopeing to get some money back, you may be dissapointed

First time i got money back from fatcheese but then I bought phone in Nov. 10 and still says pending on my fatcheese account and same with my friend :mad:

iknorr

just purchased the cobble as a new customer

I had to add my order details to fatcheese. name, order number etc.

Compton

does any credit come with the samsung for a tenner?

It's over three months. It was actually December, but you have to wait a couple of weeks before you can claim. So I claimed 6th January and still nothing. But it doesn't matter, I had similar experience with bethrifty (+ vodafone and mymemory) as well. Maybe it some glitch in the system, maybe they keep the money for themselves, I don't know. The point is that it doesn't work every time. End of story.

Just to let you all know, it takes some time but, in my experience, the payments from Fatcheese always come through. Last month I got €47.21 which was a lovely surprise in a crappy month. I also got my last full payment of €24 about 6 months before.

Is there any down side to buying this as an upgrade for backup as opposed to buying it as a new customer with new SIM?

I just want one for standby & don't want it to effect my current pay as you go plan.

Are you sure the deal is over? Just ordered one (Cobble) and it went through..

EDIT: My bad, I presumed you were referring to the Cobble which is still available..

Would anyone know how much it would be to unlock the Samsung Cobble?Thanks

I'd say you would get it done for a tenner in an unlock shop.

Thanks Davy. Will go it a go so.

Anyone know if it has the same charger as the Galaxy S, and if it comes with a USB cable....?

Zonda999

I stand to be corrected but i dont think it does



Looks to be the older charger that phones like the legendary Tocco Lite used. On an aside, the Galaxy Europa does use the same charger as the Galaxy S

And a usb cable, i doubt it, at this price!

FakePlasticMan

Excuse the dumb question..I know bugger all about mobile phones, but is this a pay as You go type phone. Thinking of giving one to someone who travels here now and again as a local phone to use when in town?

Thanks

The Galaxy Europa does come with a usb cable I use it to charge it off my computer .

cson

For the mobile techie's amongst us [as I don't have a ****ing clue these days!] can you tell me the differences between the Europa and iPhone 3?

Basically one is €99 and the other €499 [not going buying second hand and want to stay with Meteor]; is it possible to justify the extra 4 hundred?

"the WOW factor"? It's important for some people:p

This, at 100€ is a good deal for an android, but at 80€, its even better!

When it was for €80? I am, like, chasing that web for every day looking for that phone. It was €90 January but then Meteor cancelled €10 bonus for buying online and rised price to €120. Recently (week ago?) they dropped it to €100 but I never seen that phone for €80!

it being at 80 was half the reason this thread was started man. the deal is over now though so your outta luck

Zonda999

Yeah, as 'furimmer says, it was 80€ as a special on St Patricks day only. Who knows, it may be that price again at some point in the next couple of weeks. Its the cheapest I've ever seen an android phone for though, thats for sure

Anyone have any idea what the best value phone is on Meteor at the moment?
Im thinking of signing up to the 200mins and texts and 1gb package for €25
There seems to be a good selection of phones for free on this package, just wondering whats the best?
I have a Nokia N97 Mini at the moment and use it for a few pics, mobile internet, apps and games
