Bear with me. Billpay costs €5 more per month. And you have to come up with €45 for the phone. So over the 18 month contract, the phone costs you 18 * 5 + 45 = 135
You'll easily sell the phone for €135 when unlocked at the end of your contract
Summary: on billpay you get the use of a brand new phone for 18 months FOR FREE!!!0 -
Ive heard people see this before, but I don't know how tipping up can be a pain when you could save much more.
It takes less than a minute really, not much a pain IMO.
On 48 I think you can allow for recurring top ups anyways, which will top you up automatically every month.
I am not in and out of shops frequently and invariable I would forget to top up thus maybe lose the deal I am on and run out of credit.
I know my daughter who is 15 always runs out of credit and forgets to top up to keep here current offer - she gets pocket money to use as a top up but always forgets about it until its too late
Maybe I am lazy but having to go in to a shop or log in to my account or on-line bank and set up a top up is way more hassle than just having €20 taken from my account every month by direct debit.
Yes 48 allow you to buy multiple top ups but that means you have to shell out the money all at once (e.g. you can buy up to 6 top ups ~ €120)
Anything for an easy lifeYup, that's the one I'm on. Can't fault it to be fair. A tenner a month like.
This Tesco offer seems to be no longer available - the SIM only plan on a 30 day contract is not as good as the Meteor offer

I was paying €25 per month and I was out of contract
now I pay €20 per month and still only on a 30 day contract
Another savings example
I purchase a Moto G for €149
€20 per month for the deal
Free to change provider and sell the phone whenever I like
On Billpay (all I can see BTW is 24 Mth contracts)
Moto G = Free
Comparable tariff is €31.20 per month = €748 over the 24 months
My version will cost me (phone @ €149 + 24x €20 = €480) grand total €629
And I have a brand new phone to use and I can sell it next month if I like0 -

It's a bit of a moot point as the plan you're on no longer exists (doubt you'd get any of the new model phones for €45 on a €25 plan either)0 -

If you read the OP it is for a SIM only plan and not PAYGYou're trying pretty hard to justify your purchase but let's be honest it's a pretty sh1t bargain alert if you think it's worth paying double the price (€20 vs €10) just so you don't have to spend 30 seconds every month or two topping up. Plus 48 give you much better coverage around the country.
I do not want to have to top up so therefore the best SIM only 30 day contract plan I could find is this for €20
48 I believe are using O2 masts and their reception is cack in my area as is 3. The best coverage around my area is either Vodafone or Meteor
Yes that's true for PAYG but I think nothing beats the Meteor plan for a Bill Pay option therefore the post I made originallyNothing beats 48s Guido €10 per month deal for pure value.
Nice contribution - I posted a bargain for a Bill Pay option SIM but maybe I should rename the thread title to suggest thisIn the time it took you to post this you could have topped up online and enjoyed a cup of tea
Why do people shoot down BA threads all the time.
Not every bargain is for everyone but they are generally helpful for a lot of people. Why do we need to go to the effort of knocking a perfectly good way of saving some money:(0 -

That's a poor deal. I'm on Meteor billpay for €25, have the same package but got a €500 phone for €45
When my contract is finished I'll go to Tesco SIM only for the 300 min / 300 txt / 1GB data package for €10 per month...
(48 deal is similar as Zonda posted)
300 texts?
Probably useful for casual phone users, but any heavy user would blow through that text limit relatively quickly.
Potenitally because of the "free texts" deals on various networks. I know that I've been with Meteor since they first arrived on the market and have for the majority had free texts to other Meteor users. My itemised bill shows between 1500-2000 texts a month for me :O
I forget my exact deal with Meteor, but I have 200 minutes, unlimited texts to any network and free calls to Meteor customers. I also get free calls + texts to ANY network at the weekend. Also 1GB of data.
€20 a month, although can fluctuate depending. No bill is as it is advertised, when you include the vat it always fluctuates, my last bill was €35 for some reason.
I got that deal like two years ago, after finally moving away from a legacy plan they would ring me each month to try get me off 0 -
