not as good as 3's deal as it doesnt include net.

20e top up, free calls (call any network at weekend) + texts + free net + free 10e credit.

What are you talking about 100 minutes? I get 6000(3000+3000) minutes and only over that I get a warning, no extra cost. Try talking for 6000 minutes anyway.

also you get 10e free every single top up which I use to buy 2 extra months of net. (it's something like 4 or 5 euro a month). I can then webtext off my phone on cabbage for free and have 20e for use on calls, essentially meaning you only need to top up every two or three months on heavy usage. Also get 15 GB data.

I don't see how this 48 deal is in any way better?

Considering switching to Three, is the free 10e for switching?

The website says

An extra €10 credit if you bring your number to Three and register with My3

I presumed this was a one off €10 (fairly paltry offer).
Is it actually every time you top up? Is there an end date on it?


So if I understand correctly.... you run a cleverphone on Three and only need to top it up every couple of months or so how you outlined? Pretty neat.

Is this offer likely to end in April?

Do you go from 15gig data the month you top up to 500mb the months you don't?

Sorry for all the questions. :pac:

I signed up for a sim today and they emailed me saying they were going to do ''a backround check on me to see if i was 48 material'' i presume that means they were checking my age?

I think it's a joke, all 48 correspondence contains these cringey little attempts at humour

It does sound too good to be true. I've ordered a new sim off them, i wasnt going risking giving them my number, that way i can always go back to my old number. And i've seen a credit machine that sells 48 credit so i wont have to buy it online :P

Yeah, I agree it does sound too good to be true... But I switched my number over 3 weeks ago and have used more minutes and texts so far this month than I used when I was paying 60euro a month...:D As I said before it is some deal...

Think you had to opt in at Christmas two years ago - at least that's what I did.
I get a tenner free credit every month, so I'm basically paying €10 for unlimited texts, unlimited weekend calls, free 3-3 calls anytime, and unlimited mobile internet & free Skype.

If I wasn't receiving the tenner back every month I'd nearly consider switching to 48, but their data plans are pretty poor as well.

I see internet offer is extended till the 30th April, lets hope they reconsider the €1 per hour and go with a better deal.

Do you go from 15gig data the month you top up to 500mb the months you don't?

Sorry for all the questions. :pac:

So many questions /dizzy :pac:

You get that initial 10e, and you get 10e EVERY time you top up, it's great. You can't use that 10e free to buy add-ons but you can use the 20e you arent really spending because everything is free.


Yes every 2-3 months I need to top up by 20E on a cleverphone(:-p)

They always extend these offers etc, thing it is already extended atm. If they don't they will lose all the business. They say that future offers are similar I believe.


Yep, 15 gig the top up month and then 500 on an add on month, which I don't ever go over, even though I use the net every day on it, watch youtube etc.


So yes the basic run though is I top up by 20, free stuffs for a month, at the end of the month buy a net top up for 5e. Get 10e free credit. Spend my credit on w/e. But I generally webtext from cabbage etc for free with the net topup. If by the third month I have a fiver I can spend left I use it on net again. Their data costs a fortune out of a deal and they dont warn you well when the month is up, so you have to watch out.

Did you add the €10 to the account? Not sure if after adding the €10 you need to go online to pay the membership, maybe you can contact them by email. to confirm.

Is anybody having problems connecting to the internet? My blackberry won't connect. I'm entering the settings as follows:

APN - 48months.liffeytelecom.com

Username – [blank]

Password - [blank]

Do you actually put "[blank]" for username and password or just leave blank?

I have purchased the data package.

Me and my gf do the exact same thing plus lots of my friends use whatsapp so even less hassle than having to use cabbage after the first month.

I went 2months and 3 weeks without topping up and i get more use out of my phone than most people with a bill plan.

How is whatsapp better? sounds good ^^

To be able to make calls or text you will need to to pay membership. To receive them you won't need to top-up.
