    hey i thinking switching with 48 heard good things about it from my friends. 10 euro pay as you go top up each month for free texts all networks nd 100 mins and 1gb internet .

    but someone told me there a catch of a membership fee everytime u top up take something from your credit and if dont use all credit when month up its gone .

    if anyone is on this network and this true please let me know or what u would recommend?
    at moment i am on o2 nd paying 20 euro month just for free text every network nd nothing eles.

    The way it works is, you dont get any "credit" your given the usages as you posted and if you need more you buy more. At the end of the month when your deal is up, you have no credit and need to buy a new membership, for €10 or another deal of €15 or €20

    Ye you can switch and change, and lets say you ran out of your 1GB of internet on the €10 deal, you can buy another 750mb for €3 I think.

    Then when your month is up you can see if its cheaper to buy the dearer deals, in line with your usage.

    A few questions lads as I'm a bit of a newbie.
    1. Is this a bill or pay as you go service?i.e if I use my 300 minutes and my 20 credit do I get a bill

    2. Can you check how many minutes you have left too mobiles and landlines in some way or how does it work

    3.is there a contract with them?

    Answer 1. You dont get credit. You get your usage limits and once there up, you can buy more or do without them. There is no bill. You must buy before you can use.

    Answer 2. Yes you log in to your 48 account and you can see all your usage from your account.

    Answer 3. No there is no contract.

    Just remember there is no credit on your phone, after the month is up.
    I think the fair usage is about 3000 minutes and 5000 or 6000 texts.
    If your stick it into google im sure you will get a quick answer on that.

    On the phone but will do that when I get home.sure even if you go over your limit you can just top up again they can't bill you they have no details as such.vodafone tried a thing like this years ago but you had no way too check out how much you had used so theyd withdraw the extra from your bank with no warning.

    hows is the coverage with the 48 network? im after porting to 3 and I cant receive 3g coverage!!! >:( the main reason I switched was the unlimited data all the time plus calls and texts at wkend are free to any network. so disappointed is one way of putting it. how is everyone finding coverage and 3g on 48? I own my own phone and its recently been unlocked its an iphone. plus can you use your iphone as a hot spot on 48? had been with Vodafone since day one but disgusted at them lately, so new to changing networks so any pros and cons on this wouls be appreciated
