    I've came across this offer with meteor for the iphone 4 which is bill pay and will cost €45.74 per month.


    Smart Plus 45

    24 months contract
    200 minutes
    200 texts
    5 GB data
    Free Meteor calls & texts.

    I'd only be using the internet to browse fb and twitter and maybe the sky sports app.Would 5gb a month be enough?
    I'm currently unemployed would I be able to go into my bank every month and put 50 euro into my account in order to pay the bill?

    Aye suppose what phone would be the best to pick up on bill pay then?

    Try to find a plan with 1GB of data, you really don't need to be paying for any more than that. I'm one the web all the time and I've never gone over. 5GB is only really useful if you have no wi-fi and want to use the 3G to download music, tv shows, movies, etc.

    It depends -
    is it a definite that the phone comes free with the contract? paying a bit towards the phone can reduce the contract length
    does it have to be an iphone? there are other very good smart phones out there...HTC, Samsung, Sony.
    do you need 5 gigs of data (thats a lot)?
    with the apps like viber and imessage\jelly sms do you necessarily need the add-ons of 200 mins\200 texts, removing these might bring down monthly cost

    No it doesen't necessarily have to be a iphone. I thought the the Iphone was the Rolls Royce of smartphones.

    I'd be using a few apps like Twitter,Facebook and maybe sky sports news when out and about i've got wifi at home.

    I wouldn't be calling many people i'd be texting instead.

    Op would you be able to get the money together to buy one on adverts.ie or similar sites? New unlocked i phones go for around €400-€450 on these sites, this would save you getting locked into a long contract and save you money in the long run.

    For example you could get the €20.33 sim only deal of Meteor, so €20.33 x 24= €487.92 + €400 = €887.92 opposed to €45.74 x 24= €1097.76 and you can cancel the sim only contracts with 30 days notice if your not happy with your provider.

    I know theres only 1gb of data in the €20.33 deal but it's loads if you have wifi at home..
