I've been with O2 Meteor Vodafone Just Mobile & Three. Three is the best for coverage for me. Never had any issues and there customer service is top notch if your polite imo. Only problem I had was resolved after a quick letter and got a nice credit bonus too!

I was loyal to vodafone for many years too, since I had an 088 number! They don't reward for loyalty though. They don't care. I left and went to 3 at the end of my contract. Cheaper and better service. 3 ate miles ahead. iPhone 4, unlimited data, free landlines, 350 units , all for €40/ month!!!

Yeah, looks like a good move, but unfortunately I have to break my contract to switch and I can't afford that....

I took this offer, switching from Meteor pay as you go. I was with 02 last year for two years and Vodafone for several years before that. Three coverage, in my own experience has been better. It could be down to the Iphone 4 as I've always used a Blackberry, but I don't get disconnected anymore when calling from the back of my house. Three customer service IMHO have also been great. They called me within minutes when I placed the order. They called again a couple of days later for the deposit and they called again 3 days ago to ensure everything was ok with the service... I did not go chasing them which I've always had to do with others, especially Vodafone.

I'm satisfied with the service so far and my wife has just ordered one too

Same here, you can add better coverage to that list for me.

Im the exact same, with Vodafone for 10 years but took up this iPhone offer. Great offer. Delighted with it.

Still debating this.
Can someone clear this up for me. I know someone posted about it but the answer wasn't clear. Some posted that 3 can raise the price of the plan, but they have to give you 30 days notice that they will do that, and that you can opt out if they do so......Is that definite, that you can opt out if they do that? What happens to the phone in that case? Thanks.

Also, how does the ipod touch 4 compare with the iphone? (excluding the facts its not a phone/ camera isn't great/ no 3gs) My main interest in the iphone would be the apps and media (and not really the phone part!!)

I was with Vodafone too for many years (since 99 I think) but am very happy with this offer. Had an N95 before this and the IPhone is far superior imo.

Yep, just ring 3 and they will port the number. If you ring b4 6 they claim to get it done that day. I had no problems and it was done in an hour or so.

Ive another 9 months i think of an 18 month contract with meteor to go and im going to buy myself out of it,i pay the guts of 40 a month and get no value with meteor i have a big standard phone and only 200 free texts to any other network,at least i have an iphone and pay 40 a month with 350 mins or 700 texts on this offer

Just 2 questions

1)does anyone know is there a charge for internet usage? or does a free GB a month come with this?
2) has many people paid the €150 deposit?i know people who have paid it and some who hadnt?is it to do with your credit check?

That's the main selling point of the deal!! The €40pm includes unlimited data. I got 2 of them and neither required a deposit. Would be interested in someone from 3 sharing the criteria as it seems a bit random

thank you,my friend bought one in Navan and had to pay a €150 deposit but another friend bought one in Dublin and wasnt asked for a €150 deposit seems a bit strange?

Misticles

Apparently it's random. I have Internet with them and I still got stung for the deposit!

Afaik they take into account the questions they ask you when signing up. Like your address, how long you've been living there, payment method, etc.

possbily as the friend who was asked for the €150 deposit is in college and only working part time,while the other guy is working full time wasnt asked for the €150 deposit

I got the iphone 4 with 3 today, i've been with them for a year now and find the service good, my bills are very reasonable and i've had a pretty good experience when dealing with customer services.

Can anyone here tell me how to transfer the contacts on my iphone 3 to the iphone 4, i'm not great with this sort of stuff.

Was in the shop the other day and the sales girl was saying that Three might be offering an upgrade package or something to iphone 5 (or 4s..who knows..!!) when it comes out.
Can Fiona or Patrick shed some light on this?:D

Despite already being a 3 customer, and a homeowner, they saw fit to ask for a deposit when I tried to order an iPhone for my wife. The 3 reps gave the impression that this was something they could waive... left me hanging for 2 days, only to say that the deposit would have to be paid.

I will be taking my money elsewhere, and as soon as I can find a way, will be leaving 3. Their customer service sucks.

Connect old phone to PC and use iTunes to sync it with MS Office Outlook. After that connect the new iPhone and sync it again.

If you just pop into the 3 shop with both sims they'l do it for you in a matter of seconds free of charge!

Contacts are stored on the device I believe.

If you sync your iPhone3G with iTunes & check the box for contact sync, selecting outlook the contacts should transfer to your PC.

Simply do the reverse when you set up the iPhone4 through iTunes

You pay at least €960 and they have new client for two years, but still i would take it if i wouldn't have new HTC Sensation.
