    Contract is due to finish in February but eMobile said I can get an upgrade this week.

    Would Harvey Normans have any issues in giving me the upgrade early?

    Anybody else who was suffering 0.3mbps throttled speed confirm the same?

    CPW in cavan are saying emobile trying to get people of the €35.00 a month package and wont give an upgrade price on the new iphone's.


    The package they want people to move to is 6 months at €24.00 and then €39 a month there after.


    The price of the iphone 6 on this package for 18 months €279 or 24 months €229


    iphone 6+ 18 months €379 & €329 for 24 months.

    A catch? None of the operators include Premium number, as far as I'm aware?

    It is excessive. But unfortunately this is Emobile's way of compensating for such a great deal. I myself had problems when going to upgrade and the phone was costing a ridiculous amount of money. Fortunately a friend of mine works in Emobile and advised me of another contract which cost a bit more but wouldn't break the bank when upgrading later.

    Sounds about right. They kept the handset prices high for folks on the offer to try to get them off it. They will probably offer a different deal on a higher price in turn for a lower cost on the phone.

    But the thing is, is it really such a great deal any more? Unlimited plan with Tesco is €25 per month without a phone. So over 2 years his relation would have paid an extra €240 + €229 for the phone = €469. They might be better taking the Tesco sim plan and just purchasing a phone...

    That's a plus. What is the data plan. This eMobile offers 15gbs which can be tethered and afaik no networks offer anything like this so main reason I haven't jumped ship

    I got a text but that's not what it said. This was it:

    Customer Notice: It has come to our attention that we do not currently have an eircom account or phone number associated with your eMobile account. You can update your details by visiting emobile.ie/customer-update. This will help ensure you are on the correct eircom bundle offer and you continue to receive your eircom discount. The eMobile Team

    I rang them and they told me to ignore it.
