meteor bill pay smart lite?

talkin

anybody on this? thinking about changing from pre pay to bill pay. cant decide between smart lite 30 or smart lite 50. any negatives from people that changed to bill pay? the smart lite 50 looks like a really great value offer

evolutionqy7

Ive got the 30 plan and pretty happy with it. Got the deal for 25 a month for the rest of the year so even better

The only downside for me is that 1GB is not alot. Have to limit myself not to watch youtube or download large apps while data on so i wouldnt get overcharged.

talkin

400 mins and texts would be a lot with the 2gb internet id say i should never go over that have iphone

evolutionqy7

Depends on your usage.

Generally i limit myself to boards.ie facebook and twitter. A lot of news and tech websites too. It lasts me no bother.

But if your gonna be downloading large or alot of apps and watching alot of videos 1GB wont last. 2GB will last obv longer.

1GB = approx 33mb allowance per day
2GB = 66 mb a day.

Ofc unlike PAYG you can carry these for the rest of the month

talkin

Thanks for your help it's a toughy! Iv no access to wifi at the mo and I'm thinking there'd be no way possible of going over the 400 mins and texts in the smart 50. But is it worth the Extra money when the smart 30 would probably do me €40 versus €30!?

evolutionqy7

Well if your only taking out the contract its for 31 days. So if its too little you can upgrade.
Depends on what what network your friends and contacts are on. Most of mine are meteor so I haven't used half of my texts and calls since reset period of 4th of March. I would like higher allowance for data though.

talkin

Will you change back to prepay after 12 months when your free meteor to meteor are gone. The online offer is €25 euro for the smart lite 30 which seems very good. And the smart 50 offer if 40 a month is up the end of this month so the clock is tickin Tis decision time

evolutionqy7

Well if they remove the offer I'm moving away to JustMobile pre pay. They offer free calls and text to just mobile and free internet for 18 a month. I can easily make my gf switch sure she won't mind free internet too

talkin

I'd never even heard of them before ! Ya learn something new everyday

evolutionqy7

Their a newish company. They use vodafone's network its quite a decent offer.

You can pick up a sim in most shops. Spar is for sure handing them out

talkin

Hahaha even more of a choice now! I'l never make a choice

evolutionqy7

Sure just try most out.

When i was back in school i went on a rampage from vodafone to meteor then to three then to o2 then back to meteor. So tried pretty much everything out there and just stayed with the rates and the customer service i liked the most

Emm, Just Mobile looks like they are going out of business. Why would you switch to them?
A winding up order is due before High Court next week.

went in today and they said i couldnt get the 30 plan for 25 how did u do this are you on a 30day contract or 12month?

evolutionqy7

30 Day. I wanted to take it out on the website but u can't keep ur meteor number like that. So I asked in the shop and they set it up. It was an online plan

talkin

when i went in today they said that discount wasnt from that plan!!

evolutionqy7

See here. http://www.meteor.ie/plans/bill_pay/smart/#plans-tab

I got the Bill Pay Smart lite plan.

I didnt take out a phone with it. But you can do that with Bill pay smart plan too.

First i emailed Meteor and they told me to take it out online and then i can call to customer care to transfer the number or call into a shop.

But when i called into the Meteor shop in Ilac i asked the sales rep about it how do i transfer my number online, he told me he could set up the same deal in the shop. And in a few days i went in with my details and he set it all up.

So maybe the sales rep doesnt know what hes talking about cause you can defo do that in a shop.

talkin

i was thinking that, i even got the code emailed to me and they still said it wasnt with that plan!

evolutionqy7

Try a diff shop?

talkin

think il have to!

talkin

i called in to the same store today, and i had to show them on there computer that it was indeed possible for me to get the plan for 25! now just to decide do i need the one for 40euro!! haha

talkin

is it worth paying an extra 15euro a month for an extra 200mins 200texts and 1gb data?

its 40 a month for 400mins and 400texts and 2gb data on meteor with 30day contract

cookie1977

Sorry I read your post as 200 not 200 extra. Yep it's better with meteor. You do get free vodafone to vodafone calls and texts. Would you have more friends on meteor or vodafone? You can ask your current network to do a check for you on what you call most.

talkin

meteor! i need to decide between 25/40 a month though! hate making decisions

talkin

went for the 25 and gonna limit myself! the 40euro one is gonna be 50 from next month

talkin

free meteor calls and texts still havent kicked in!:rolleyes:

evolutionqy7

Just ring them up and ask them. I knew it took 5 days to kick in. But just called them to make sure Had them next day then Which was the 5th day

The main thing that gets me most value in this plan is free calls and texts. I barely use the minutes and texts. So i made sure they dont forget about it

Yup. Got it on the fifth. I just noticed on my bill online that I wasn't being charged for texts anymore

talkin

evolutionqy7

I just got an email from JustMobile. They launched free calls and texts to any network for 18 quid a month :eek::eek:

Though sneaky T&C's like usual

The Promotion is also subject to fair use conditions, which JUST Mobile may rely on to withdraw, restrict, limit or terminate the Promotion from an Eligible Customer. These fair use conditions are such that an Eligible Customer’s usage of the Promotion shall not exceed 250 minutes of calls or 600 texts per month. A combination of calls and texts can be used according to the following formula – Each topup of €18 provides an Eligible Customer with 250 JUST points. 1 JUST point is equal to 1 call minute or 2.4 texts. These points are used for calls and texts made in the Republic of Ireland to any standard mobile or landline number in the Republic of Ireland.
