    Just wondering what sort of prices per month these can be got for? Is it worth having a landline anymore? We are currently with Vodafone for the landline and internet, costing around 52 euro a month.

    Who is cheapest for nightrate electricity?

    Three doing good deals. Have access to Vodafone network and O2 from Jan. so should have good coverage.

    I swapped from o2 to vodafone a couple of years ago and have much cheaper bills since
    We have vodafone broadband and landline for €45 a month and free uk calls with that aswell .
    A lad was saying he has bad coverage around the house for the mobile and when he changed to vodafone broadband they gave him a booster for his mobile that gives him full reception now . There was a once off €50 charge for the booster .

    I remember dealing with 3 business team 2 years ago. they were willing to supply all the minutes and data for the phones for around a third of the price of O2 & vodafone but I was unsure about poor coverage. Might give them a call considering they bough out O2

    Ring 3 business section. You can get a 30 day contract for minimum of 2 phones (sim only) unlimited everything calls to any network or landlines. Text to any network and unlimited Internet. All for 20 euro plus vat per sim. So if you dont like there coverage or whatever you can get out of contract after 30 day notice. U just need to have all phones on one bill.
    They dont include subsidised phones in this deal.

    A friend of mine lives near a mast and use his three phone as his broadband Internet dongle all included in his tariff.

    Three are good if you have coverage.
    I got the 02 small business offer in the fall of last year ,€50 pm land line,unlimited fast broadband,.
    Also my mobile 500 texts and 500 mins and 500 mb data on that mobile and they gave me a free HTC one mini.
    24 mth contract but where could you go wrong at 50 a month for All that?

    I was paying 55 alone to eircom for broadband and phone and 30 to voda for my mobile and now I have my o2 mobile and all the above for 50 Inc vat.

    So yes shop around.

    That deal is no longer there,you had to sign up by Oct 31

    Check to see if 4G is or will be available in your area.

    Changed from 3 to vodafone about 20 months ago , coverage with 3 was every bit as good as Vodafone and less dropped calls.

    Nightrate electricity, check your existing meter to see if allows same, its a specific request at installation (i think)

    also not sure how much cheaper it is when u add specific costs

    If you have a smartphone, when you go to the pub, turn on 2g and the phone will roam on the Voda network (free) and give you perfect coverage in the pub:D.

    Big difference. How many of the people you ring are on 3 to get free calls. My deal basically means I never pay more than 25 euro incl vat per phone as all calls and texts and internet within irelands 32 counties are free. The only extras I pay are for picture messages and calls to uk or rest of world
