The people who run the post offices are An Post, a semi-state body which runs the mail service. The old state-owned phone company was privatised a long time ago and is now called Eircom.

Except for cable TV users who have the option of a phone service over the cable TV network, the vast majority of private landline phones in Ireland are physically connected to the local Eircom telephone exchange though in many cases a third party supplier like Vodafone actually supplies the service through equipment they are allowed to install in the local Eircom exchange.

Which phone line supplier are you moving from and to?

He/she is referring to Postfone most likely.

Yeah, see here

AFAICS....

a very basic offering, concentrating on mobile telephony, data seems to be non-existent, no "picture messages" (MMS)...very very basic.

On the Vodafone network, piggyback.

Needless to say,

no data bundles, etc.

no webtexting (even Tesco has this now)....(you can use Cabbage on your Android Smartphone to access Tesco Web texting)

And, you get charged 30c for received texts (outside the EU).

So, all in all, nothing to write home about!!!! :P

Or, maybe that's the idea, start sending letters.....;)

If a user does not want data, then I think it is a good value plan. Fairly comparable to Tesco, I think. Although you get clubCard points on Tesco Mobile, if that is a factor.
