    Nope, if you don't go over your limits then that'll be the bill

    Ya may ask them about Phone Insurance, i pay 4.99 a month for my Desire HD, they used to take it direct but now i pay CPP direct.

    As you've got a real quality phone i don't think a fiver a month is too bad for insurance

    I went to get this and they asked me for a €300 deposit :eek: errrr i don't think so sure you can buy the phone outright for around €400 if you shop around and they were asking for €279 for the Galaxy S2 on a 12 month contract plus €300 deposit,no chance!!

    Meteor are not doing themselves any favours doing this ive been with them years but after something like this i might consider my options, i have read that this has happened to many people (asking for a deposit):rolleyes:

    'Apparently' they will run a credit check on you, if there's ANYTHING they're not happy with they'll charge you the deposit, i think it gets returned after 3 or 6 months

    Just keep in mind what i said about Phone Insurance, it's a damn expensive phone to lose or break

    As long as ya want the phone insured, like i said, Meteor used to do it direct and take it outta yer bill, now the company (CPP) does it direct instead. Sure the guys instore will push ya in right direction.

    Some people will moan that it's 60quid a year, but for the sake of 1.20 a week i'm happy that if me Desire HD went walkies i'd get a new one

    Hi Guys,

    So did any of you end up buying the galaxy s2 for €250? I did and I just checked the meteor site and now it's from free to €169!!!! Where do I stand, will meteor refund me the €80 I've over paid?
